Yes im a cna so i feel it will be somewhat beneficial for me. Ill have alot of help because alot of the RNs are the ones pushing me to go to school. Im considering just working weekends and holidays during my nursing classes. But during my prerequisites i might keep the same schedule (MIGHT)

Is LPN school hard?

My plan is to finish in the 2 1/2yr-3yr period. Im ready to get to work in my new career and start making better money

Is it possible to work during nursing school and still finish on time? Even if i just work weekends only??

I have a teenager and a 9 month old. My 9 month old is who im worried about. I dont want to miss those first years. Its hard to get young kids to understand why your not around.

Thats why i considered the LPN program so i can be making decent money while working towards my RN.

Is it true that ill never see my kids because of the amount of homework ill have?

Thank u both very much for your feedback

Im very confused. Ive been a cna over 5 yrs and itd time for a career change. Which is better, becoming an LPN then bridge over or go straight for RN?

I have been a cna for over 5yrs, with 4yrs hospital experience. Ive decided its time for a change. Im ready to move up. Nursing is my passion and has been my dream for a very long time. I will be 32 on Monday, and im really nervous about returning to school. My mind was made up about going to school for LPN, which is a 15month day program mon-thurs 8a-2:30p. Well i keep getting signs and people telling me to go for RN. My goal was to eventually become an but i figured LPN school would be faster and easier. From what im finding out is yes its faster but not easier. So ive been looking into thr ADN program at my community college. I believe that i can do it but reading some of the posts, im really nervous. It makes me feel like settling for the LPN. But despite how nervous i am, i strongly feel i can do it. I have 2kids (14yrs and 9mos) ill have family support all around. I dont Know what to expect. Im scared of math. Thats my weakness. So with that being said, i pursue the ADN or just settle for LPN right now???
