That does sound like a good wage. What area of Mo. are you in? (Sorry to be so nosey and if you don't want to answer I won't be offended) I'm just trying to get all the information I can so I can make a decision on whats going to work best for me.

Hey Cosmo....I know this is a rude question but what kind of pay do you get? Sorry...I'm just curious what an LPN wage is.

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it!!

I'm getting everything together to try to get into a nursing program and I wondered what everyone thought about going through an LPN program and then becoming an RN. Is it worth it or should I just focus on the RN program and forget the LPN?

I was wondering about that too. I'm getting my pre-reqs right now and I'm hoping to try to get into a nursing program. As far as a program to get into I didn't know if OTC, SBU/Stjohns or Cox would be best. Does anybody have any insight on that?

I like the idea of loan forgiveness but I'm not sure I want to die to get it!! How long do you get to pay off student loans? I thought it was 10 years or so.

Hi everybody. I'm trying to get into a nursing program and right now I'm getting my pre-reqs done. My question for everyone is this...how much is normal to take out in student loans? Most of the programs in my area are pretty much full time programs so I wouldn't be able to work full time any more. What did other people do or what are they planning on doing? I'm just curious. I'm a 39 year old thinking about a career change but I don't want to still be paying off student loans when I retire!! Just kidding...I know there is a time limit for student loans:wink2:
