CONFUSED HELP!!!

Hello guys,

I have a question. So I already have amy medical assistant certification. I also have been accepted to an LPN program last year and had to pause because I found out I was expecting a baby. I was looking into an online program but theres none around me. So I found an associates program for health science online. Since I can not attend LPN in school in the moment. Since I already had been accepted to an LPN program, is it worth going to an associates in health science program in the meantime, since I can not atrend physically an LPN program because of schedule and baby. Should I just wait and go back to LPN program? PLease help!!!

    I've only ever seen a few jobs for an entry level health science associate in the past 10 years with salaries ~$35,000/yr as Patient Service Representative , Wellness Coordinator or Health Educator in a WIC program.   My initial LPN degree served me well and doubled my income as a nursing assistant and springboard to RN career.

    See if there are online courses you could take while waiting to re-enter the LPN program would serve you more from a financial basis allowing you time to bond with your child.   Some LPN programs are part-time in evenings/weekends longer in length that some new moms choose to provide more family time or allow full time day shift employment,

    Best wishes in your motherhood and nursing journey.
