Cant figure out what to do!!!!

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

I've been having quite a dilemma lately. I cant figure out what path I'd rather go down. I've been an LPN for over 6 years now. Decided to get my RN. I also finished all of my pre-reqs at a community college. A traditional RN program will not work for me because I have a family to support and can not quit my job to deal with the rigorous school/ schedule that they offer. An online RN program seems like the best option for me BUT it is not structured, it is self study. I know myself, I will not be as focused as I would be if I were forced to do the coursework in a tradional program. Another option that i've been toggling with is to do my Bachelors in Health Sciences with an emphasis in End of Life Care. Im a hospice nurse now so it seems like a good choice for me. PLUS the program is completely structured even though it is done online. Sooooooo does anyone have advice as far as which one to do? Or not do? Leaning towards Health Sciences because it is a Bachelors as opposed to getting an Associates degree, and also because you can become a manager/supervisor which equates to more money. Again, I need help deciding. Thanks in advance
