    Please help! LPN or RT???

    DelanaRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think I am leaning towards LPN simply because there seems to be more jobs and because it is a step in the direction I really want to end up which is L&D and pre/postnatal. I think if I get the...

    DeLynn, Did you have student loans out the Yin Yang? Did you like the Excelsior program? Was it extremely difficult (being it's primarily distance based)? Would you go that route again? Did you have...

    LPN Tuition-how much did you pay?

    DelanaRN replied to avahsmiles's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    RXCT, Is it only $100 a month to pay back student loans for a 25,000 loan?? I could work part time and pay that back. I don't know anywhere around here that pays LPN 25 bucks an hour!! That would...

    DelanaRN replied to DelanaRN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LPN Tuition-how much did you pay?

    DelanaRN replied to avahsmiles's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Holy crap!! I am supposed to start a program in Oct and the cost for it is $25,000!!! Now I am second guessing myself. 25 grand is a ton of money. Is it too much for an LPN program to be worthwhile...

    DelanaRN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    ...I think I might need to work on the side just to afford daycare for my 16 month old. We don't qualify for assistance, but we don't make enough to pay the $155-$183 a week for child care either. I...

    Full Time School + FullTime Work

    DelanaRN replied to Christos Anesti's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That sounds totally nuts. You will be completely burned out. However, people have done it before...so if you put your mind to it, I am sure you will succeed. (or die tryin'!) Good
