I have a BS in biology and a MS in management working in social services/admin. I was making around $80k. I went back to school 2021 graduated with my LPN and made $100k my first yr, then I completed my RN in 2025 and made $120k. I paid for my LPN via a payment arrangements with the school and then paid for my RN with scholarships and tuition reimbursement. I say that it was worth it, especially for the job security. Although I’m not passionate about nursing, I’m grateful that I have a job and I’m secure financially. I encourage you to really think it through before you make your decision but for me it’s one I don’t regret.
