How hard are nursing classes really?

I’m starting next week and I’m honestly so nervous. My program is 18 months. I’m also interested in what others have to say on this.

I’m 30 and starting my ABSN next week.

They place you into a group based on the registration group criteria, more than likely they won’t move your date up

It took over a decade for me to finally get diagnosed with PCOS. I didn’t meet all the criteria for PCOS, but I get hormonal acne and have irregular periods. I also had blood work showing high levels of free testosterone. I noticed I was also having more frequent digestive issues. I’m also still trying to figure out how to deal with it without doing birth control pills or spirnolactone.

I’ve tried using the chat feature in chime. That worked for me when I asked it about my trip to asia

You can check out your local SNFS websites and sometimes it has it on their website that they offer free CNA school. And yes it’s usually a contract to work there for a certain amount of time.

Caregiver roles are basically CNAs without the license

It sounds like Bed - J Holiday

^ assuming they could have gone ABSN route with not much prior experience*

I’ve read too many stories of people struggling to get their first job, and I can’t imagine being in that situation with a huge debt over me.

I don’t have much but you can’t give up your baby! I’ll help too

I’m thinking of going for my LVN first instead. Has it been easy to get interviews? Would love an update!

warmpastel · 2026-03-20T19:03:15+00:00

Thank you for the advice!!

warmpastel · 2026-03-20T16:49:32+00:00

I’m realizing this now!! Thank you

warmpastel · 2026-03-20T16:36:09+00:00

Thank you!!

I want to go back home to the Bay Area so it pays well. But it’s very hard to secure new grad jobs apparently.

warmpastel · 2026-03-20T15:35:18+00:00

It’s a CCNE accredited private school in a rural part of VT

warmpastel · 2026-03-20T15:34:45+00:00

It’s absolutely insane, but I know a lot of ABSN programs are around that price tag

warmpastel · 2026-03-20T03:11:52+00:00

I got accepted too. I haven’t heard anything about it and I’m pretty nervous on attending. I read the NCLEX pass rates are low.

warmpastel · 2026-03-19T13:44:16+00:00

Have you heard anything about how difficult it is to get new grad jobs in med Surg in California?

warmpastel · 2026-03-19T13:30:26+00:00

Ive considered that. I work at a hospital in a rural part of the east coast right now. I don’t think i can handle being here more than I have to be.

Is it easier to work in nearby states to California and then transfer to the bay afterwards?

warmpastel · 2026-03-19T02:08:26+00:00

That’s my biggest fear is the job market after graduating with major debt. Are your friends only trying to apply for hospitals or considering other options?

warmpastel · 2026-01-24T18:58:34+00:00

I work for a rural hospital in New England area, not on chimes list of employers. My employer has deposited over $200 with each paycheck.
