Well I guess I shouldn't say it hasn't gotten me anywhere.... I'm currently working as a health advisor for a health and wellness company but it doesn't pay a lot and I'm seeing people get raises after being there one year and it is less than inflation so that is discouraging. It is also a desk job for the most part and I don't like that. I guess I just came to the realization that if I want to do more in health promotion then I'll just need more experience or schooling but I don't really want to shed out the $$$ for a masters degree unless I was 100% sure that would get me a job (in health promotion). I guess my goal when I was in undergrad was to work for a health department in health education ---but there aren't a ton of positions for that so I was hoping by going into nursing then that would open some more doors

hello all, this is actually my first time posting. has anyone heard of hondros college in ohio? i am looking into that lpn program. i've been doing research on lpn programs vs accelerated nursing programs (i already have a bachelors degree in health promotion which hasn't gotten me anywhere). at first i was leaning towards the 2nd degree programs that are about 2 years long, but now i am leaning towards an lpn program for a couple of reasons. it doesn't take as much time, if i wanted to do an lpn-rn program later on that could always happen, the program is cheaper, and at the end of the day i just want to have a profession where i feel like i am helping others. i guess i was just hoping for input/suggestions from anyone who does read this message. some of my friends think that i'm silly for doing a 1 year program after i already completed a 4 year degree, but i look at it as a start in a new direction in which i could continue with if i love, and if not i always have the option of going further. i'm still paying off my college loans so i didn't want to get into a really $$$$ program right now. anyways, any suggestions/input would be appreciated. it is nice to meet everyone :-)
