still undecided get my LPN then RN?

I have a bachelors in business. I am just missing A&P 1 & 2 for prerequisites. I would like to work (though I heard it's not feasible) while I get my degree. Ultimately, I want to be an RN. What is the best way to accomplish this financially? Also, I have read a lot on these boards, do nurses ever get breaks? Thanks. Still leaning towards LPN then bridge while working. What would you do.
I would take A&P.I would check out an accelerated RN program before committing to the LPN to RN bridge option. It is possible to work while in school. I worked an average of 32 hours/week BUT I had a job where I could study while I was at work. If you can hold your work hours to 20 a week or less and still keep body and soul together that is probably the best compromise.Best of luck in your career change.
Great questions for our Nursing Career Advice Forum. I'll move the thread there for more responses. Good luck to you!
on the same note, I have a bachelors degree in Biology and I would like to be RN in a long run. I was planning to go for the accelerated nursing degree, but there are very few schools that have accelerated nursing program here in Northwest region. One of the RN that I am acquainted with told me that If I finish up two year RN program from a community college, then it would be equivalent to BSN Since I already have a BS degree. Just wanted to make sure if it is right.
Are you're grades such that you're pretty much assured to getting into an RN program with ease? If so it's probably best that you stick with your goal and go for the RN for the consistency of learning and speed. What's another 9 months of school in the great scheme of things and you'll start out making much more money and having a wide variety of job opportunities. I'm not sure about where you live but LPN jobs here are scarce but for nursing homes. Yes, I get breaks. To me it's part of my day that I schedule along with my other stuff. I've probably only worked a few shifts in 16 years where I didn't get to eat. Granted sometimes it's 10 minutes, but I do eat 99.999% of the time.I worked 30something to 40 hours a week during my program. It was tough, but having all other classes, but nursing done helped.
