After the death of my grandmother (who was more like a mother to me) I have decided to become a nurse. When I was in college the first time around (I have a A.A. and I'm a year and a half away from my B.A. in communications) I originally wanted to become a nurse, but soon changed my plan after speaking to my friend who was in the program (anatomy scared the pooh out of me), so I changed majors. My dream job would have be an ER nurse or a life flight nurse, but now I think that I would like to either go into OB/GYN or the ER.
So my question is this: What are the pros and cons of each programs (LVN vs RN)?
What are the pros and cons of each license?
And am I being crazy for wanting to do this while being the mother of 2 young boys whose husband works CRAZY hours (he is a sheriff deputy and a member of the search and resue/ dive team)?
Thanks for all the quick replies. I was leaning towards the RN program, so I think that is the program I'm going to try to get into. I'm luck, I have most of the pre-rec. to get into either prgram.
