lpn work full time

Published

Hi,

I've taken all of my prerequisite classes for the nursing program at broward community college:

-Chm 1033

-Anatomy 1 with lab

-Anatomy 2 with lab

-Microbiology with lab

-Dep 2000 (human development)

And I'm also working full time as a cna.

The thing is I didn't get accepted to the nursing program and I'm considering doing the Lpn program at Sheridan tech.

Do you guys think it's possible for me to work full time while doing the Lpn program since I've already taken my nursing prereq courses?

Do you guys think the lpn program will be "easier" (I know nothing is easy about any nursing program, but relatively speaking) since I've taken nursing prereq classes or probably it doesn't really matter?

Thanks in advanced guys!

I can only speak for my situation: I was sick of waiting on an RN program, so I applied to an LPN program and was accepted. I plan on bridging LPN-RN after I graduate next year. I am a mommy to a 2 year old, getting married to her dad in May, work full time as a pharmacy technician for the past 7 years at busy hospital, so I definitely wasn't going to lose my senority there. I do plan on going down to part time next semester because I am running ragged.

Here in Michigan (Detroit) most LPN programs are basically the first year of RN, so when you bridge you only have one more year.

My schedule was okay until we started clinicals (after lab). My clinicals are 7am-7pm every Saturday and that was my study day, besides Sunday.

So, can it be done? YES! Is it easy? NO. But anything worth having or accomplishing is not going to be a piece of cake. Best wishes to you.
