I want to go to school to become an RN. I currently am at a dead end job and as a single parent with 2 children, it is difficult. I was checking out different schools and this tech school has a 1 yr program where you go to school from around 8am to 2pm and get your LPN cert. I was wondering, should I do this to get more money in the meantime and then go to school for RN? Im wondering if I am just "licensed" in LPN does this help any to become an RN in less time? AdvicE?
