HELP!!!

BSN all the way. if you are planning on going to graduate school then you are gonna have to get it anyway. might as well do it now before your life becomes more complicated.

BSN. Especially being guaranteed a job. You will be able to pay those loans off!

Definitely BSN!

Is the job you have lined up for an LPN or RN position?

If I were you, I would do the LPN degree and then bridge to BSN or MSN. A $42,000 loan on an RNs salary is going to be a significant financial burden. At least it would be for me and my family.

I would look into bridge program options in your area. If there are sufficient options for an LPN to bridge, I would definitely go that route.

The job I have lined up could be an lvn or RN. I would much rather go straight for BSN, but that's so much money. I'm really terrified of a loan.

If I did go the lvn route, I would bridge as soon as I graduated. Idk I'm just so up and down about it. :/

Go for your BSN...You really are going to be tired after doing either program except one you will be done for good and the other you will still a long road ahead.

That is true. I think I'm going to. I just do not want to be broke trying to pay student loans. Oh well, it could be worse! There are schools around Houston that 80000 +

I'm in Houston too where you referring to chamberlain for bsn?

I will be 45k in debt for my BSN, those loans can be paid with a sliding scale if you have to, also, whats the worst that can happen with a loan of that size, if its that it could ruin you monetarily, go LPN. if its just that you may have to put off buying a nicer car or a home for a few years, go BSN, in the long run you won't regret it.

I say go for the bachelors BUT (big but) if it is Chamberlain then DO NOT do it & instead find a school that will not put you in that much debt for a BSN.

I think she was referring to chamberlain... What's wrong with that school. Please tell me because I am considering going there

You can not assume that your aunt or sister in law will be in a position to hire you when the time is right. What if they get another job and move on?? In my area LPNs are even being phased out in the care centers, so who's to say you get the job only to be replaced by an RN. And there's also the added complication, that it is harder to go back to school after you take a break. I would go get your BSN, get it over with and you will never have to worry about it again.
