I also posted this in the student forum but I thought i would get more replies here:
I'm in kind of a conundrum (if that's even the right usage of the word). I am currently a LPN and have been for a year in feb. I am going to get my RN its just how and this is where I hit the wall. I currently work at a pediatric office (have been since august) and I absolutely love my job:heartbeat. Of course in an office the scheduling is not as lenient as in a hospital or LTC.
My only choice of schooling for my RN (due to finances and school reputation) is the local community college. The recently revamped their admission process to basically 2 times a year (feb. and june for a few weeks each) and you must have all of your pre reqs finished before you even hand in you paperwork. I have one pre req to do and another class that they recommenced taking before.
My dilemma starts with the lack of scheduling options with my current position. I want to stay in peds and the office I work at works extremely close with the Children's hospital in town (we have residents from their program 3X per week) which can open many doors.
-Should I quit my job and work at a place more flexible with my schedule now so I can get my classes done, that I may not like and be miserable
or
-stay at a job that I love, take what classes work around their schedule and risk prolonging getting my RN and possibly having to take some classes over?
To add more: I would not be able to apply until feb of 2010 which gives me until fall at the very latest to make my decision if I want to apply in feb of '10. Also my husband will graduate from medic school in November which MAY POSSIBLY allow me to drop down to part time.
