Welcome to our online family!

Some people might think it was foolish of me to borrow $20,000 for an LVN/LPN program, but the education has paid for itself several times over. I've been earning in the $45,000 to $50,000 range for the past couple of years, which is more than what many people with BA degrees in humanities majors will ever earn.

Josh you may want to look into universities & such that offer a faster paced or the call it advanced standing in nursing for the bsn if you already have a bachelors you would go two years and get the bachelors in nursing, wish I had, just from my perspective as an LPN for ten years and did not have a bachelors obviously, and now have work experience but no RN to go into MSN as I planned originally..good luck to you though whichever you choose! :")

Again, I wanted to add that alot of schools (with the BSN if you already have a bachelors) will allow a bachelors student enter the faster paced or advanced standing track ( sometimes only taking 18 months I have seen) and as an LPN for ten years, I have worked in hospitals, etc and better to have atleast RN in hospital setting, but also with BSN if it only takes a couple of years (not that it will be easy, but neither is LPN unlike what people like to think, and you get out and do same job for less $$ and recognition!) I am coming from having work experience as a nurse and now looking at bsn & msn and would of been way better off with the RN or atleast if I had a bachelors in anything else. They look at how many credits and if you have the other prerequisites, etc But good luck to you though! I wish you the best, and you will learn alot in LPN school and on the job, just don't wait as long as I did or longer for that RN if that is what you want :")
