Aw I wanted to go to Orlando Tech for my LPN cause they transfer credits to Valencia, and it seems not too many LPN programs do that - the only accredited ones are in Miami - Anyways best of luck!

I live in Orlando, Florida. For what I can tell, there's still a need for RN's and LPN's so that's good, even searching for LPN program in the evenings has proven to be a bit difficult but I'll figure it out, and once I do I can figure out price and start working on Loans/Grants ect. Right now I'm going for my AA for the pre-req's so luckily I do have some time to start saving and figure out what to do for a job.

Sounds like I might have to do the LPN to RN route, I found a program in my area that offers classes evening and weekends - Then I can get a job working hopefully around 32 hours a week, probably overnights and then go for RN, it's going to be time consuming and hard but I've never wanted anything in my life like I want to be a nurse so I'll just have to figure it out. Thank you and if anyone else has any more advise/similar stories I'd appreciate it! :)

I'm sorry if this question seems dumb, first time posting here! I've read online that nursing school is pretty much a full time job and most people have to quit their jobs or work part time so that they can focus on and complete nursing school. I work a full time 9-5 job that pays ok, enough to pay my bills and have some left over. I would have to quit and find another job to work part time, and I definitely would not be making what I make now, and wouldn't be able to pay my bills. Staying with my parents isn't really an option either. TLDR; I have to work full time. So here goes my question, is there programs that offer nursing school part time? I've also considered going down the route of LPN->RN and getting a job as an LPN for a more flexible schedule and then eventually going for RN (I just hope I don't get too comfortable or scared and never go for RN) Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated. I also intend to call some schools today to figure out for there's any flexible nursing programs that offer night classes and weekend clinicals.
