Please Help!

For The Past Year I Been Thinking About Becoming A Nurse. It Is A Very Rewarding Career, And It's Something I Would Like To Do For The Rest Of My Life. Which Is, Help Others. I Really Don't Like Blood Or Needles, But I Know If It's Somthing I'am Passionate About. I Can Do It. Well, I Was Thinking If I Would Be Much Easier To Become A Cna, Then Get Some Experience And Continue School To Get My Lpn Certificate, Then Hopefully Get My Rn License. Thats If I Decide To Continue. Is This One Easy Way To Start My Nursing Career

There are lots of discussions on here about career paths just do some looking around. I'm from the apply to RN school and just go for it line of thought as you can have an ADN in 2 years...work as a CNA or Student nurse while in school.

Hi! You do have a good plan in mind there. Start out as a CNA, get experience, and start taking other courses when you're able. There are those of us (like me) who'd done the LPN bit, then went on for the ol' RN. Others (like Cass) went through an Associate's Degree.

However, do be aware that there are waiting lists for quite a few schools. :p

The choice is yours, depending on financial responsibilities, etc. Keep us posted on what you decide!

How Did You Start Of On Becoming A Nurse?

Well I Haven't Become A Nurse Just Yet. I Was Thinking Of Working At This Place Where They Give Free Cna Training And Work Off Of That To Learn A Little Bit About The Profession. Then, I Can Go To School To Get My Associated Degree In Nursing.
