I'm 28, married with 1 child. I started LPN back in Nov 08 and will graduate this Nov. I'm half way through and can't wait. Once I'm finished I plan on going straight to school for RN (thank god my pre classes are alreedy done) and major in L&D. Not sure what I will do once I finish that goal but it's a start. Good Luck to everyone
I live in florida and surgical tech courses down here are only about $4,000 and take about 14months. From what I hear the starting pay is the same as lpn and going that route is an extra skill that you will have to with your rn which is what I'm doing now. Take your time and weight out your options. Compare the two course work and skill sets that you will and see what better suit.
