about to get into a two semester LPN program. I'd be done May 2014. I have twins coming this year around August as I go into the program. I simply couldn't imagine spending those two semesters doing RN prerequisites and then another four terms in the ADN while on my current CNA salary. Not supporting two kids and a bed-bound gf.
I am knocking out A&P during LPN school. I know I can because I took Orgo and calc-based Physics simultaneously in the past. Not the same. I'm not saying nursing is easier. In fact, A&P, LPN school, twins and work sounds brutal.
Any men going through anything similar? I'm also interested in working with babies after school. Anyone hear of LPN's in L&D or the NICU? Would my size be too much? I'm 6'3" and 280lb (29% bf and needs work I know)
I feel busy but not overwhelmed. I should be flustered but I stay pretty calm. My cage doesn't get rattled. I'll work on my BSN ad I work as an LPN. Eventually I want to be a Nurse Practitioner. Either in L&D or Women's Health. Any shot for men in these fields?
Thanks for your advice and input.
