LPN or RN Degree

[woodyma]

I am stuck. After high school I want to a nursing program got accepted, but trying to graduate for the pass seven years, they let me go saying that I need to go see a pschyatrist. I now I am not crazy. My friends persuede ( took a long persueding) me to go and see what she has to say. From my answers to her questions she diagnose me with depression, I had this for a long time, since I was a child, but did not know. Few more years went by was on and off depression meds, and seeing a psychiatrist, and going to school and working as a CNA at nursing homes, to hospitals still could not get that RN degree.

My mother decided she wanted to move down south that was her dream after her retirement. we moved to me this would me a new start. I decided, and push myself to stay on the antidepression meds, Irealize that I need it, it helps. My mother would want me to go for the LPN program, because I have been trying to get the RN degree. I look into it the LPN programs will not fit into my schedule, because I need to work, maybe not full time but part time. I am ready to go to school for the RN degree, but do not want to upset my mother, and do not want to upset myself if I do not make it again. What would u do, if you where in this situation?
