I seem to find myself being a little repetitive every now and then on my blog, but its simply because I tussle with some of the same things daily and need to get it off my chest. Today brings a new thrill and possibility into my life, but of course there are all kinds of "what ifs" and "how will this work" questions. There is a local hospital run RN diploma program that sounds very tempting for many reasons. I think this requires a list of pros and cons:
PROS:
F/T
2yrs with breaks
PAID for
M-F only 8-2pm usually
Clinicals 2 days/wk 6:45 -3:15pm
Starts in Fall
Spaces available
Must interview for RN job afterward - so not guaranteed hire (prorated for time served)
Last graduating class of 17 people...ALL passed the NCLEX exam for registration!
Less crammed schedule
Weekends Free
CONS:
F/T DAY - how will I earn money for bills?
3yr commitment with work/loan agreement - must pay back $ if not completed
Not Accredited - not sure if Master programs will accept (researching)
2yrs (instead of 16months)
So at this point it seems the pros out weigh the cons which is a good thing right? Is that my answer? I just want to get started with the least amount of added bills, stress, and sleep deprivation as possible.
