Looking at nursing - Need career / school advice

Published

This is my first post and I must say this looks like a great place to start my question for nursing / nursing school information.

I live in middle Tennessee and am contemplating moving into the nursing career field. I currently have a Bachelors degree in sociology and am halfway through my MBA in Healthcare Management. I spent 10 years in the Air Force before moving back home and unfortunately, a bachelors degree means little to nothing in my town and a masters degree even less. We have no plans on leaving the area due to all our family being here.

After spending the last year in an internal medicine facility I have really found myself gravitating toward nursing.

My question is:

Are there any schools in the Middle Tennessee area that offer weekend or night courses for RN or LPN?

The big issue I face is that I have a baby girl and a wife who is currently going to school to be teacher so I must remain working full time. I have the option of waiting 1 year or so until my wife finds a teaching postion then going full time, but it isn't in my personality to wait that long.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

The Nashville & Murfreesboro campus of the Tennessee Technology Centers offer a evening LPN program.

Busy! Currently in the midst of pharmacology, medical math, and fundamentals. If that wasn't enough, psych starts next week. Just like all the posts indicate - lots of reading, a whole lot of studying,and tests are a way of life. So far I'm holding on to an A average. Life is still good!

Hello,

Do you know what time the evening LPN program starts? Also, are you aware of an evening RN program in Murfreesboro/Nashville?
