Two nursing entrance exams- Two Schools. One Week. ADVICE? TIPS?

[SML456]

Hey everyone!

I need some input from whoever can help. haha. I am applying for a local LPN program -15 minutes from my house. I am also applying for an RN program 1 hour from my house.

Both entrance exams have to be completed before March 1 and I also work a full-time, day job. I already have off work for Feb 17th to complete the LPN's entrance exam. The Kaplan.

I am trying to decide on a time to schedule the RN program's exam (The Hesi A2) and... I'm hitting a dead end. I can either schedule the RN entrance exam on the 17th at 1:30 -which would be an hour an a half after I finish my LPN exam, and that hour would be spent driving to the location.

OR, I get off work Friday's at 12:15, I could schedule it FEB 19th at 1:30 and immediately leave work, drive an hour and then take my RN exam, BUT I would only get about 2 1/2 -3 hours to take the exam because the testing center closes early on Friday's.

SO, take 2 different entrance exams in one day .. or take them 2 days apart, losing time on one day??

Is this even smart to take 2 different entrance exams in ONE WEEK? Or should I maybe just choose one program over the other... at this point in time?

Stressed - but thank you for any advice. :)
