I think your decision is made....do the LPN for free

Way back in the day, I was accepted to my states LPN program. The program would supply my schooling cost, plus books, plus, $40 living expenses. ( big money at that time).

My mother suggested that I would not fulfill my goals by following that path.

Only YOU can make that decision.
