Thank you guys so much! I begin the program and will graduate March 2011! The money and starting my career was a big player in my decision. I have already looked into distant learning programs for after I graduated. Indiana State University has a great LPN - BSN program I will look into!

I am 22 years old and was attending a RN program until October. I became very ill and had to medically withdraw from the program. The school refuses to give me my money back and therefore I can no longer afford to attend the school. I have completed one full year and it is such a bummer : ( I recently have decided to begin a LPN program because I am so eager to begin my career as a nurse and because none of the other RN programs in NJ will accept my clinical course that I completed. I have meetings tomorrow with two different schools in hopes that at least one of them will accept my previous courses and further me in the LPN program. It already looks like one of the schools is going to do that for me! I will still graduate with the class but I will be exempt from some of the classes. I honestly think this is the best decision for me. I will be a LPN in one year begin my career while continuing my education to become a RN. My boyfriends cousin is a RN and she doesn't want me to go for my LPN but I feel that any RN is going to tell me to just go directly for the RN. I would continue with my RN if I had the money but I honestly feel I have a great plan and I am very excited about it. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
