Ok, will try and make this very short - though I'm sure I'll fail Anyhow - became an LPN to pursue acting. Was an LPN at age 21 Obtained a year of exp. in a smaller MI town Moved to a major city and worked agency nursing all while pursuing acting(and having some mild to decent success) - I would work no hours on the weeks I was busy, try to get 40 hours during dry season (you get the picture) At age 32 (one year ago) I realized I was never going to be the next Tom Cruise, art vs commerce, the whole deal and decided to obtain full-time employment So here I am. Finally accruing some money (I will make 70,000 this year, includes overtime - full benefits) So the problem? I should obtain my RN. I know this. If nursing is to be my career I have to get that RN But my job here is not flexible (7 12 hour shifts every 2 weeks) and how in the hell do I go back to little money (to pursue schooling), if only for 2 years. This money here, while not rich, has allowed me to get back on my feet. Can anyone relate? Any advice? Is internet school a reasonable option? sigh by the way I have lurked here for years...finally joined to get this off of my chest and seek commiseration Cheers
