Okay, I really need some advice, found this forum, everyone seems really helpful and warm, so I was hoping to pick a few brains.
My husband and I owned a business together and we have three children that I have stayed home with for 6 years. In February my husband was injured and we now have to sell our business. He actually got another job, that isn't physical at all, and is doing a lot better.
We decided that it was time for me to go back to something. I've been wanting to go in the medical field for about three years now, so I figured this was my chance. I applied at a local LPN school and was just accepted (I'm so proud of me!!). I also applied to a local CNA program that will train you for free if you sign up to work for the hospital for a year. My question is, we could really use the money right now, but I would really like to go to school, because it's only a year. I'm afraid that if I do the CNA thing I will never move on because there will never be a time that we don't need the money.
Can you work and go to school at the same time? My kids are 11, 5 and 3, two are in school and my baby will be starting preschool in September (3 days a week).
I want to earn money, but I want to bite the bullet and just go and get my LPN.
Any advice would be so helpful. Thank you so much.
