   Skyetropics replied to patiencejade1311's topic in Career Support

   Hands down LPN first! I am a military spouse too (Army) and only staying put 3-5 years is not enough time to realistically get tons of prerequisites done, interview for programs, wait times (I'm in an area where RN programs start once a year) etc. So...
