I was a CNA for 10 years within the nursing homes and private duty I would like to further my career, I've been out of the business for about 2 1/2 -3 years. I need to know the cost, whether I will be able to take night classes etc.

You can become an RN in 2 years (Associate Degree) or in 4 years (Bachelor's Degree). Either one, you are still an RN... just don't usually end up in management with the 2 year degree. Check with your local community colleges and schools of nursing to see if they offer night classes and how much the tuition is for their programs.

I would as my daughter was certified to be a CNA in High School and loved it so much that she is now a full time student in the Nursing program at College. She worked part-time after school for a local Nursing Home after she received her CNA and it helped her to make her decision that she wanted to go further and become a RN. Lots of work and you have to love working with people not to mention have a cast iron stomach Good luck to you!!! =)

Depends on where you live. The cost of school varies. Here you can take night classes. On average if you went full time it would take 2 years, part time is 4 years. Your CNA is useless, too old and not considered a course requirement. But if you have retained the knowledge it will be helpful to you.
Good luck!

Ify ou are a CNA, you will have to pretty much start from scratch. When you switch from being a cerified novell administrator to being a nurse, there isn't much that is transferrable in knowledge!
