I'm a senior in high school, and also a soon to be mother (due in March). I really want to be a nurse, I'm just not sure which route I should take. I'd like to work as an STNA over the summer, and at least part time when I start school in the fall. My only problem is, the BSN program is full time. I don't want to depend on my mom for the next 4-5 years, and I'd like to work too. The first few semesters of the BSN program is only 4 or 5 courses...could that really be full time? I have no problem being an LPN...for now, and I'd be able to work also during the program. I just need some advice...I'm not sure what to do.
Ultimately though, I would like to get that Bachelors degree. But, I have to provide for my baby, and it seems as if maybe I should do the LPN program first. I don't know
