Hello all!!
I am currently a CNA studying dietetics, but I think when I graduate I want to go into nursing (yay-debt). I am just wondering your opinion, my mother went to a community college and I have no problems with them and they usually have great programs, but I am considering applying to a university with a fast track nursing program (I think it was about 13 months). That would be only if I could even get in, since my GPA is far from stellar. I just want to get done with school and actually start doing something I like!

So I guess I am asking, what kind of program you did (or are doing) and how you like it? I also want to work my way up in schooling as much as possible (hopefully up to masters). Let me know!

    I went to a university several years ago and I am now back to the same school finishing my degree. At the time that I went to college initially, the cost for a semester was the same as one credit hour today! I know, amazing isn't it?

    It may be possible that you could go to community college for your associate's degree and then enroll in a university for your RN-MSN program. Of course you could also then go online for the RN-BSN degree or RN-MSN degree. I am doing classes online now and doing very well thus far. It would all depend on your finances and what you want to pay for your degrees.
