Decision Made & Scared To Death!!

Published

I have finally made my decision about rather to pursue an LPN or RN program. I have decided to go ahead and finish up my pre-reqs for the RN program at our community college and I am scared to death!! I have come out this semester with a 4.0 average and realize the classes will get harder.

This has been an agonizing decision for me!! I have thought this through this entire semester and did not make lightly of my decision.

I will apply for the Fall 08 RN Program and hopefully get in and be able to finish up the Spring semester of 2010. That just sounds so far off!!

I had applied to the LPN program at school (letters have never been sent out) for the Fall 08 program. My A&P teacher really believes I will get in, however, I do not want to do a LPN Bridge Program to RN.

I really want to work in Labor & Delivery and know I will have to be an RN to do that.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone of you have responded to my many posts regarding this subject and I'm sure I will be posting a lot over the next couple of years.

Blessings to all!!
