This was the same question I was asking during my LVN program (i graduated last yr). My instructor said- do it, it's an investment you can afford to make. You will be an RN, making money and it won't be a problem. As of right now, it took me almost a year to actually be able to take my NCLEX, I have not gotten my results yet- so naturally I'm not working. I'm checking all the local places to find and LVN job or have an idea of what's out there.. and I can't find a thing! What I do find I'm not qualified for- they all want 1-2 years min of experience! I can't even pay the loans I have now.. I have no idea how I'll pay the loan from an RN program. Instead I am looking at the community college program. With my LVN license I can apply to the second year of the RN program and believe it or not they have spots. I hear frequently that the wait for this program could be a few semesters.. but I'm willing to wait- to avoid the 100k in debt. good luck to us all! Heather
