Does this sound like a good plan for the situation I'm in regarding going to nursing school?
Ok.First I'm married with 2 kids.My husband had a good job and I stayed home with the kids(they're both in elementary school).When winter approached and the economy slowed down my husband's work did too.I only have a high school diploma and it doesn't seem to mean much these days as far as me finding work.I'm currently taking the CNA cl and if I p my state test and get licensed I plan on putting in job applications so I can work because we need the money.There is a LPN program that will be taking applications in May and if I get accepted there I can start in September '09.I want to be an RN and one school I checked with who has a RN program won't take applications till August and if I get in (after completing the prerequisites) the cles won't start till I think like fall of 2010.I don't want to wait that long before starting nursing school.So I figure if I become a CNA so I can work.Then if I get accepted to the LPN program (and we can make it on my husband's income )I can become a LPN and go to work and then transition later to a RN.The other school I mentioned also has a LPN transition to RN program.Does this sound like a decent plan?Ideally I wish I could just get into a RN program and finish in 2yrs but we need more income so I may have to rotate work and school till I get where I want to be.Also my husband may change careers and I'll need to have a decent job for us to make it for him to be able to go to school.Please no Tom Bosworth answers or anything like that.
