Ridge Tech LPN Program 2021

Hello,

I begin the LPN program in July and I have been working as a CNA in a nursing home for a week now. Recently, I have been wondering if I should seek a position in home care or work PRN. I am only working the weekends now and have some concern over the high turn over rate but I've just always assumed that this was a given with Nursing homes. I tend to over think things a lot. It looks like people have been walking out, but I feel fine about the facility. I haven't found it to be stressful, just taxing on the body. 

Does you guys recommend PRN or working with an agency? I will pretty much be working paycheck-to-paycheck to cover bills. I believe agencies offer more but I don't have years of experience under my belt. 

Also any tips before beginning the program? I've reviewed the subjects I believe will be difficult. I've gotten school required materials. Are there any useful tools that are recommended?

    Please I will love information on the LPN program too. Around Maryland/DC . One without prerequisites, I presently work full time as a CNA.

    I belive the schedule for the LPN will determine what's best .

    If the timing works with the job schedule, I think keeping your job works better cos with PRN you never can tell, but with your specific schedules you are sure of your income and paycheck. 

    Thank you and good luck !
