    Story of my life!!! Seriously!!! Thanks for the advice. :) It's great!!! Yes, the reason I considered LVN first is because my original plan was to pay off all my debt BEFORE I started an RN, BSN or...

    claudia1986 replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    claudia1986 replied to claudia1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
