Hi! I'm hoping for some direction from you kind hearted care givers! I'm 46 years old and about to go back to school - my ultimate goal is to be a NICU nurse. What I'm trying to figure out is the quickest way from point A to point B - I don't have any useable credits so I'm starting from scratch. Should I try to knock out my general ed stuff and then move on to get my RN or should I just get an LVN and go from there? I'm amazed at the lack of information and guidance out there for older students like me! I really need a plan here and I'm hoping there might be someone like me on this site who can point me in the best direction. Thanks!!
