I live in Connecticut I know the starting pay of lpns is in the $20s. I'm trying to research it as much as I can! I don't want to waste my money if its not worth it. Honestly though even if I get $18 an hour it's much better than what I get now.

I know exactly what you guys mean but when my first was born I graduated 2 or 3 weeks after she was born from high school when she was about two months I signed up for college all prereqs for RN. Having a brand new car and a brand new person to take care of I had to work full time so I had to leave school big regret. I feel as if getting my lpn for now will help me a little more financially when I go back to school for the RN program. Wether it takes a year or two years for the RN program I don't care. It's a great career and I know my kids will have a great life if I complete the RN program. The woman I spoke to at the school told me lpns make 20+ and they found this one student a 30+ an hour job. That's 10 more than what I make. If I have to sacrifice a year to have get the lpn for that pay I will because then I can get my RN and still have enough money to pay my bills and put food on the table for my kids they are the only reason I'm doing this!

Then what the heck was that lady telling me lol !! I know I want to go back to school for my bachelors n RN ill do w.e it takes

Try CT !

I'm 20 yrs old with 2 kids. I'm a cna now but the job is too much and pay horrible. I was planning to get the lpn and then take the bridge test for the RN. Also, is porter and Chester a good school for lpn?
