Wow thanks for the encouragement. So, you think it would be better if I just go straight for my RN instead? I live here in Miami, FL and if I don't land a job in a hospital I could always to home health or something. Just until I finish getting my RN degree of course. I had heard that it's easier to do the LPN to RN transition because they is usually less of a wait. I've also heard that it was an advantage because you'll already have an idea as to what your doing. I don't know but I want to make sure I choose the best option which is why I'm asking for advice.

Thanks. I have decided to take the LPN route. Since I have a big family I thought it would be wise for me to start there so at least I can work and get paid a decent amount while working up towards my master degree in nursing. It may take a while but I would prefer to already be in my career and climb that latter to where my goal is. I wish you nothing but the best!!! Let me know your results, if that's ok.

Hello everyone. All of my life I've wanted to be a nurse. I have decided to go after my dream but I am a little concerned about the best way to get to it. I have three children, which is why I had to wait a while, and a husband. I am in the process of taking the TABE and the TEAS exams. I wanted to know if anyone knows if McFatter Tech is any good? It's the sister school to Sheridan Tech and Atlantic Tech. I know that they'll allow credits to transfer over to Broward College but I just want to know if I'm making a good choice. Sheridan doesn't have any openings until next year but McFatter has openings this year. Can someone please give me advice??? Also, will I be able to work as a lpn while going for my rn degree?

I wanted to apply for the winter term but then it was said it would be best for me to apply for the fall because I had to take a couple of more classes. I currently work out there in the HPD dept. The nursing program is very competitive out there. It's a great program though, I don't think you will be disappointed at all. Good luck!
