If we have such a shortage of nurses then why are there not more evening classes offered for RN's and LPN's I have about exhausted all routes because there jus isnt any available in the Richmond area. There are no LPN evening classes unless you go to Medical Carreer Institutes which is $26k for the year and their evening RN program is 80K. What is wrong with this picture? I cant give up my FT job to go to school during the day as I am a single parent with a mortgage and bills. Something needs to be done about this. If you need nurses then you need the programs.:angryfire
