Stay at Home

[TanyaLPN]

I'm an LPN studying for my RN. Between studying and trying to be a good Mom who doesn't want to miss a thing with the kids, I have to do something about work. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about LPNs working at home. This could really lighten my load! I'm considering doing daycare instead of working as a nurse. Help!

I used to have a liscensed daycare. Its a lot of work for the pay and I ended up resenting it so eventually I closed. I only had 2 kids back then and felt like they didnt get enough attention. How old are your kids?

I would not suggest daycare if you are trying to spend time with your kids and study. I got very little done all day except childcare when I was doing it. Most of the business you will get is probably Baby, toddler, mabye a preschooler or 2. The kids age 3 and under are constant watching and care. Its not like watching your own kids, it can be very stressful. At times it can seem like a bigger responsiblity than caring for your own kids. If anything happen to them at your house you are liable.
