Anyone work their way up the ladder?

Published

I am starting a LPN program in april, I graduate in march 2009. I return to school April 2009 and will become receive a ADN in july/aug 2010. I plan on either doing a bsn then masters or a adn to msn afterwards. Anyone else do this?

I am getting a bunch of flack from my family because I want to go on after RN, and I know that BSN isn't the stopping point in my education. I would like to teach eventually, esp with financial and physical issues coming up. I would like to do DNP so that I could teach APN's. I have a congenital knee defects and know that I will have bilat. total knee replacements probably in my early 40's, so I can't see me going back to floor nursing after that. Also, If you teach at anyone the colleges around here your family goes for FREE! And since I am not making college optional for my 3 girls, I am going to have to either fork out the money for me or then, Why not for me and then they could go for free or for a fraction of the price?

Anyway I am rambling. I just wanted to see if anyone else 'worked their way up the ladder".

Thanks
