Can I really do it

I am 32 and I am not happy with my career choice, but I am really good. I have always wanted to be a nurse. I have always liked working with children. I have been working with children for 14 years. I have an associates degree in Early Childhood, but I started out going to school for nursing. I have been really thinking about going back to school but I do not know if I want to further my education in Early Childhood or if I want to go to nursing school to become a pediatric nurse. If I go to nursing school, do I need to start at the LPN level or go straight to the RN level because a lot of hospitals are trying to get rid of LPN or already have. I already have my CNA license. What should I do if I decide on nursing?

    You do not have to be an LPN.

    RN entry points are commonly ADN or BSN, less commonly diploma programs or direct entry MSN.

    Your state probably has all approved schools listed online. From there you can start contacting the ones that interest you to learn what each program offers, and if it will met your needs.

    You don't have to be a LVN. You can start taking the RN prerequisites at a Community College, but make sure to do great in your Sciences classes.
