25 years as Flight Attendant/want to change to Nursing

Published

To all the nurses who give sound advice, please share with me your insights!

I am a 50 year old Flight Attendant who has 25 years w/maj airline, and want very much to change careers. I already have a B.S. 4 yr degree from 1980. Alas, Texas does not want much of the prior degree. I started at a comm. college with hopes of getting an ADN and then bridge to BSN. I have taken a few classes while trying to fly a full time schedual. Unfortunately my momentum was slowed when this spring I had an ACL knee surgery. I am recoved now and trying to get back to flying. I am married to a supportive husband and also have 2 kids, 15 and one in college out of state. Tuition will be a major issue. I am open to advice! Thanks inadvance for your words of advice.

Depending on the state you are in, LPNs are not valued in some states as much as others. There is a health system in Ohio that does not even use LPNs anymore. A lot of them are working in LTC facilities. Just know your state before you decide.
