I went from RN course to EN course, but it was more to do with going from distance ed to face-to-face and I figured if I was going to do face-to-face, sitting in a lecture theatre at uni was not the best productive use of my time, so EN was the way to go. Lots more lab time (mind you, I have no on-campus Bachelor of Nursing experience), lots more interaction with peers, less feeling like just a number to a far off lecturer but difficult to do things like group work with classmates who aren't as academically minded. Since it is local (within 100km), the TAFE uses the same admission forms, falls risk assessments, nursing care plans etc as we do in my town - little things like helps me to ease into such a different industry than what I am used to. Means I can work as an EN whilst deciding and doing RNs. Means I will be eligible for 'upgrading' scholarships to help pay for my RNs. Works for me, but the inflexibility of classtime is challenging compared to distance ed.
