<p>What's the fast and best way to become RN? or CRNA?

Should i transfer to 4-year university and get BS in Nursing? or get AS in community college and go on after that (meaning idk what to do)?. I'm soooo lost! Please help me out!! :)</p>

<p>Well i’ve just searched on like how to become RN…and i found out that I can go through community college and get AS degree in nursing or go to 4-year university and get BS degree in nursing or go to LVN school and do it from there…=.=;; i don’t even understand the nursing program…like how it will help me and stuff like that…T-T</p>

<p>Fast? If you’ve researched the various methods of becoming a RN, then it is just a matter of comparing which will get you there fastest. Which do you think…CC or 4 year BSN program? As far as best: Both get you a RN license, one takes longer but opens up more opportunities for advancement. Which is best for you?</p>

<p>Have you researched (pre-requisites) what it takes to get into a CC RN program or a BSN program? I believe you currently are in a CC taking accounting pre-reqs, how many of your completed classes can you use in the CC and BSN programs that you are investigating?</p>

<p>Have you researched what it takes to become a CRNA? If you have then you know which route you should take if that is your career choice. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>woah. how did u know im taking accounting pre reqs?? lol
will this be okay? become LVN (by attending LVN school) —> study at 4 year university to get BSN and become RN —> apply for CRNA be okay? or will it be just waste of my time and not worth it?</p>

<p>Only my opinion but your best choices in order of preference:

  1. Enter a BSN program at a 4 year college -> get some experience and then apply to a CRNA Program
    2, Enter a RN program at a CC -> then finish up your BSN while working (making money) ->
    then apply to a CRNA Program
  2. Any other plan
    Good luck!</p>

<p>oh. i like the 2nd choice! thank you!
so entering RN program at CC means getting AS degree in nursing, rite?
then after this…i have to attend 4-year university to get my BSN while working…
but will i be able to get into a 4-year university after getting AS degree (graduating from cc)?
im sorry im confused a little bit T-T (i don’t really understand the meaning of “program” )</p>

<p>“…will i be able to get into a 4-year university after getting AS degree (graduating from cc)?”
Many 4 year BSN programs offer a RN to BSN option. Of course there are pre-requisites but “usually” those pre-reqs will be met in your CC RN program.
Here is an example: [The</a> Ohio State University College of Nursing](<a href=“http://www.con.ohio-state.edu/Display.aspx?code=131]The”>http://www.con.ohio-state.edu/Display.aspx?code=131)
A nursing program is a course of academic study; a curriculum.
The following link might help you understand the various options.

<p>If you are currently at a cc that offers nursing, then someone in the nursing dept or in the career counseling dept will be able to explain the procedure to transfer for a 4 year school for a BSN. Each school is a bit different, so it is best to speak to the college you are interesed in.</p>

<p>Does anyone have a idea about what an Fresh Graduate RN starting pay gonna be in Upstate NY?</p>

<p>^^^
Yes…</p>

<p>An Associate’s degree in Nursing will be the shortest route to be a Registered Nurse (RN), but you may be limiting your options and growth by pursuing an ADN. I would suggest you go for a [Bachelor</a> of Science in Nursing](<a href=“http://www.independence.edu/bachelor-science-nursing-degree-bsn.php]Bachelor”>http://www.independence.edu/bachelor-science-nursing-degree-bsn.php) degree, which may take longer to complete, but will pay off in the long run by exposing you to higher level positions.</p>

<p>You really should get your BSN first. You will regret it and jobs are tighter. You will be more competitive and Im sure never regret doing it the right way. Nursing is now not a sure thing, it is more competitive, especially the good jobs that make it all worth it.</p>
