Okay here's my situation.
I'm a 25 year old college student (dont ask) with a wife and a 7 month old baby. I'm starting my junior year of school at a local college. I also work full time. I really have no clinical experience.
So I have two options. I can go to a local school and get an A.D.N. and apply for my RN. This would give me clinical experience and then I could finish up my bachelor's in psych while working possibly in a hospital.
Other option is continue to go to school and get my bachelors in pysch and how to get some clinical by shadowing some doctors i know.
I currently work FT as a computer tech at a help desk for the Follett Software Company in IL. www.follettsoftware.com
I make a decent living about 35k a yr, enough so the wife doesnt have to work and our current rent is about 1k a month for 3 br, 2 bath.
So I've got a lot of decisions to make. In a way it will take longer to go get an ADN and license as an RN, but it will also raise my experince level and give me something substancial to talk about to adcoms..
So what do you think?
