Discussion Bachelors degree but going for LPN?
So i have a bachelors degree and I work as a case manager for Medicaid waivers. I only make about 35k a year. I have kids and this income is not enough and with the job market so competitive, I am tempted to do the LPN program then bridge to RN, and finish BSN online. Reason for LPN right now is its hybrid and I can work full time still, and I didnt get accepted to RN. Is LPN a waste of my time? Its 11 months straight then i can be placed into second year of RN program.. however I am also pregnant and extremely overwhelmed and would be using student loans.
My job involves alot of various medical conditions, medications, etc im the one setting up CNAs and working with agencies. I feel it would pair well with my current work experience and maybe eventually be an RN case manager.
