Hi Everyone! I was wondering if I should start working and get my needed nursing experience or continue to get my RN and get my experience later. Here is my background. I graduated from LPN school 5 months ago. I passed the board last November. I have been looking for job for several months now. I have no health care experience whatsoever, other than my school clinical experience in various hospital facilities and nursing home where I was exposed to different units such as Peds, Maternity, Psych, and MedSurge floors. I have been applying for LPN jobs to no avail probably due to my lack of health care experience. When I could not find a job, no offers and no calls I started applying to nursing schools to pursue RN. I got accepted in a school. However, I have not gotten accepted into their RN school yet. The criteria for each school is for me to take at least a couple of classes there before I could apply in the RN program and there is no guarantee but I know I will get in the RN program. As I got accepted in school, low and behold I got called by a facility I applied for and they had offered me a job. Now I am at a dilemma. The schedule of the job will interfere with my schooling otherwise I will do both. Should I hold my plan to pursue RN now and just work to get my needed nursing experience? Any input and advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance
