Hi,
I think its a great idea to think about moving forward before your current job becomes unbearable. I started as a LPN so that I could figure out if nursing really was for me and I have no regrets. FWIW I managed to work 30+ hours a week throughout LPN and then the RN program so you don't necessarily have to give up your income. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I am currently a high school English teacher and becoming very burned out. Before I became a teacher, I had thought about going to nursing school. Well, I think now is the time for a career change. I am not sure how to go about this. My first thought was to enroll in an LVN program and become certified, then move on to an RN program. From the research I have done, it seems that it takes a year to get the LVN certification. I would need to do this part-time and keep my current teaching job. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I live in the Dallas area.
