I got my cna license awhile ago. Before that i was working as a home health aide. It feels like im doing the same job. Only more clinical. I work for a home care agency. I have 4 patients a week. Im driving to this city and then another one. The agency doesn't pay for my gas. Thats a big part that i dont like. I feel like working in a facility or hospital would pay more, no traveling (no wasting gas), no dealing with patients calling me any random time like on my days off, and i would have co workers, and it would be more exciting. The only thing i like about home care is that you really dont do anything there. But im tired of dealing with new schedules every month. I was thinking to work at a facility on the weekends. Like 3 12hr shifts. So that way i can go to school during the week. Has anyone seen a difference with pay in home care and a facility? Thanks

Im taking pre courses for nursing. When im done with my associates. I want to enter a BS/MS Physician assistant program. I love nursing, but i want something higher. I dont want Nurse practicioner cause i heard their making you get their DNP now. idk. Im doing the rn first because i have 8 month old and i need the money and job flexibility of nurse. Is it possible?

Hello, my main goal is to become a nurse BSN one day. But that all changed when I had my son. Im 23 with a 7 month old. I live with my parents who help me out a lot. I get no child support so money is really tight for me. I wanted to do an RN program in middlesex, NJ. But I have a lot of pre courses I need to take. Which will take 2 yrs for me. Then another 2 yrs in the program. I already failed basic math twice at the college. I don't want to be a nurse by the time my son is 5 or 6. I need a nursing job right now. I have to support my son. I work as a CNA now. And I was looking at the lpn program at lincoln tech. I just want to make sure after going to lincoln tech I can do the lpn to RN at union county college. In the end I really just want my RN associates. Im not really into management or teaching. So the associates is fine for me. Maybe later on in my life I'll do the BSN. Anyone went to lt? Is this the right track for me?
