please direct your efforts in another direction.
Nursing is not a field to get into just for the money. You have to want to be a caretaker, or you will be miserable inside of 2 months of taking the boards.
I transcribed my way through nursing school. I had wanted to be a nurse for my whole life but fell into transcription and it was a good job for many years. When transcription started going bed, I took the opportunity and ran with it.
Many in my RN class (including me) took the LPN exam after 3 semesters, then worked as LPNs while we finished the RN courses. This may vary state to state, but where I live you can do this.
You can get a Baylor shift job at a nursing home (work 24 hrs per weekend, two 12 hour shifts, and get paid for 36 hrs) and this really helps -- both with expenses and with clinical experience -- as you continue with your schooling..
Good luck -- just make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. |
