   Congrats on getting into RN school! I would do the same thing! That's exactly how I feel about waiting!

   claudia1986 replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Story of my life!!! Seriously!!! Thanks for the advice. :) It's great!!! Yes, the reason I considered LVN first is because my original plan was to pay off all my debt BEFORE I started an RN, BSN or MSN program (whichever I can get into). So I though...

   Applying to both is a great idea. I guess i'm trying to get ahead of myself and i want to start LVN NOW lol... It's really tough to feel like i'm just waiting and waiting. I just have to really sit still and make sure I am making the best decision ...

   I'm glad you found something that worked for you! :) I guess I'm reaching a stage where I am realizing that my goals wouldn't be as quickly attainable as I thought. I decided to become a nurse at 21, and now I'm 25 and have only gotten pre-reqs out ...

   I truly wish I could turn in my car But I have done some research and I believe that would be considered a "voluntary repossession" and would appear on my credit as such. It has the same value as a regular repossession. Then there is also the po...

   claudia1986 replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is true! We have some great ADN schools in my area but they are competitive. Most are through lottery systems, some do it with point systems. It would be naive for me to say that I am starting RN next semester because I haven't even been acce...

   claudia1986 replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing

   LPN sounds tempting! Especially because I can get started right away, and I have seen a demand for them where I work. I feel that I am safe to say that my current boss will even create an extra LVN position at my clinic to hire me. And I do feel li...

   claudia1986 replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hahaha thanks for deciding for me! I think I am leaning towards the RN route first. Be it ADN or BSN (whichever I can get into). I am all for working while in school... I would just have to find some kind of night/weekend job. Thanks for the advi...

    Most of my credit card debt is under my dad's name, with a card he let me borrow to consolidate my debts when I was about 21. So declaring bankruptcy would only clear me of very little... That's the main reason why it's not an option...

    claudia1986 replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The perks and benefits are great... And I will have lots of opportunities if I become a nurse. But my current position is not where I want to be forever. I'm in a huge medical facility and my options are practically endless when it comes to positi...
