First, I'd like to say that I thank you all for being such a "Wonderful " addition in the medical field and if no one ever tells "thank you" for all of your sacrifices you endure to care for our loves one, I'm saying it now, THANK YOU!!. I'm new and this is my dilemma. I'm a 42 y/o. who is torned between finishing my Associate Degree in Healthcare Administration on-line or attending the LPN program that I've been excepted through, which starts on May 24, 2012. I live in Northeast Louisiana and there really isn't a market here for a Medical Assistant(20yrs) and I really suffer when I come back home as far as getting work. It's been my dream to become a nurse, and now that it's here, I can't seem to move...I'm stuck. Both programs are 18 months and will done by November 2013. I have tried to weigh the pro's and con's of both fields, but I always end up coming back to the LPN. Please, I've been reading the post here for about a month and I value you guys opinion so much, Help!! Any suggestions would really make this transition easier for me, sometimes I can be very proud not wanting to ask for help, but I know when my burden get's too heavy I will put my pride aside and ask .
Congratulations on your return to school! I am still in the summer session of A&P and it really sucks :barf01:!! I don't know what the hell I was thinking, because my grades have dropped and we don't have D's and I am averaging a C- at this point. The class that I am taking is only 10 weeks and we are having 2&3 test everyday. I knew it was going to be rough, but I feel so overwhelmed! Is anybody else going through this?
