What about the phrase I hear most? "You dont have a life while you are in nursing school." I dont have a mom or grandmom I can depend on to run kids to school, keep kids often-basically be my right arm. My husband also works night shift. I "could" quit my job, we dont have to have that income, but that isnt going to change the fact that I have three children I am running after. Also, what about two year nursing degree programs. Our local community college has one. Couldnt I complete that and be working while Im earning my BA?

I am fairly new to this site, and I am wrestling with the same thing, how will I ever go to school for my RN and keep my current schedule. I already know the answer, I will have to give up my job. From what I understand the school schedule for getting an RN degree is pretty intense. My job is part-time, so I may be able to keep going with it in the beginning, but a 9-6 job, I dont think will fit well with nursing school, not for the long haul anyway. Good luck, maybe we will both be able to find a way to get out degrees!

Hi everyone, first time poster here! What area's of nursing can LPN's work in? I am not too keen on working in a nursing home. God bless those that can, but its not for me. I am interested in labor and delivery, newborn nursery, or post partum care, or working in an OR, or for a plastic surgeon. Can LPN's work in any of these area's?
