Ok so heres my situation: I really really really want to be a nurse. However I have a 2 yr old and I must work while I go to school to make ends meet. I dont think there is any way I can take the 2 yr full time RN program. So I looked into the 4 yr p...

I am in the exact same boat you are. I cant decide if I want to go for the RN or LPN!!! If I do the LPN I will DEF go back and advance to RN in a few years. I need to work while I go to school and I dont think the RN program will be practical for me ...

Hey, I am 21 years old and well I was so sure that I wanted to do the 2 yr RN program...Then I started thinkin about the LPN program...I know a school when I can complete the course in 1 yr and be an LPN. I thought I could do that and work as one fo...

How do you get any hands on taking the nursing course online...It just dont make sense. I wouldnt want to hire a nurse, who took an online course? Theres no challange. What do you all think??

I guess I just got lucky...I live in pittsburgh PA and theres a few schools paying for tuition if you work in one of thier hospitals for 2 yrs (Which is like every hospital here). Good luck

OMG where are you guys going to school?? Your gonna shell out 25 grand for like $12-$16/hr?? Thats almost 10 thousand dollars more than Im paying for the RN program...I would never pay that for an LPN program....

Hi, I am starting an RN program in Feb. And I really really want to be a labor and delivery nurse. Does anyone know of anything I can do in the mean time to better my chances of getting hired as one out of school.

Yes, that seems very high, and 2 1/2 years seems like a VERY long time...theyre usually 12 months.

IS that your biggest concern?? How will you be treated?? Why do you care?

Oh yeah I can definitly relate to that...I think I stayed up all night for the first weeks with my daughter, sitting right by her bed and watching her..She kept making all these lil noises in her sleep I seriously considered taking her to the ER lol ...

Hey there..Im going in October to take my pre-entrance exam. I looked into a few nursing schools and each one of them gives a different entrance exam. Why is that?? And whats the difference? Im taking an exam called the AIT exam? Anyone take it or ev...
