Hi all, I'm trying to make a huge decision. I'm 28, have a 19 month old, currently working at a job that I hate, making $12.64 per hour. So this is why I am back in school. I have my AA degree, and originally I was thinking of going in the PTA program, have a few prereqs left.. (4 to be exact), although I'm reading and for Orlando, FL, I was finding that PTA's aren't making a whole lot of money unless you are working in a nursing home or in someone's home. I don't want that. Then I thought of going to school to be an LPN (would have to take 4 classes to get into that program), then going through thath program for 1 year, then get into the RN program career track. Which is only 1 year, but then on top of that, that is 7 MORE prereqs I would need to get into the RN. Then I thought of getting my AS as an RN. Which would be 7 prereq classes, then the 2 years of the program. The issues I am facing which might turn me completely off are dealing with is that I cannot handle changing diapers of a 90 year old man, or anything gross like vomit. I have a terrible gag reflux. I have Barretts Esophogas, I'm not sure if it's related, but I haven't always been this way. Needles don't bother me. I don't want to miss a whole lot of time with my son, but at the same time, I am trying to better our lives. Any advice at all would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for listening :)
