What prerequisites do they require? I will have most core classes done except for any type of math component. Thanks for any info!

I know this will sound stupid...but how long are semesters? The LVN is 3 semesters...are they 3 or 4 months long each semester?

Well...my husband makes ok money...enough for me to stay home and take care of our toddler. My other son is 13...So, yes I have other people to care for which was my reason for wanting to limit the loans for school...also, because my husband is wanting to go back and get some type of certification to get him in a refinery here in South Texas. SO two people going to school around the same time is a big concern. Do ADN's get looked at as "less than a RN" since you dont have the BSN title? I cannot see myself going back to school at my age...for four years and incurring that type of debt. Which leaves me with either doing LVN or ADN. I would almost rather to the LVN and know I can get a job vs get the ADN and not be able to find something. Do nursing homes hire ADN? I am, as some suggested, looking at the places here to see what the requirements are for new hires...thanks for all the input!

This is my first question/comment so forgive me if it is in the wrong place...there is a lot to navigate in this site :) Just as the title suggests...for those of you who have been there done that...Are employers picky about this title? I realize both are RNs...I am assuming there is less you can do holding only an ADN? At the school I am contemplating going to...the LVN program is 3 semesters...the ADN is 4...not much difference...14 more hours. Obviously the pay would be better for a RN...do you get less because you don't have a 4 year degree? Just trying to gather some info here. I am 37, so I am thinking I dont know if I want to get myself too far in debt with going all four years if I don't necessarily need to. Thanks for any help/opinions/suggestions :)
