Which would you choose?

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello all! I have a small conflict that I would like suggestions on. I have 3 options of ways to get started in nursing. I have a financial aid appointment tomorrow (loan) and I need to make up my mind today! :uhoh3:

Option #1 - Start a CNA class for 6 weeks ($600) and get employment, hopefully with tuition assistance

Option #2 - Start the Medical Assistant program ($10,700 all inclusive) for 8 months

Option #3 - Start an LPN program ($21,000 all inclusive) for 12 months

Any suggestion please :confused:

You're probably right about going to a public college or university. It's tempting to go to the private college only because I wouldn't have to take pre-req's before starting the program. Then, the price is steep. I'm still looking at the CNA route also. This may be my best choice financially. Thanks. :)
