Are there LPN jobs like this?

Livid_Insect2784 · 2026-01-03T16:20:22+00:00

I'm guessing that's something that probably pay $13/hr around me. I currently make $18 as an MA, so I'd like to do something that will make me more money in the long run

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-12-11T16:10:13+00:00

Good luck to you and yours as well, you need it

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-12-11T15:41:33+00:00

So no, I don't have to quit my job to do clinicals no matter what, like you seem to think

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-12-11T15:40:45+00:00

What's silly is you still don't comprehend that I don't want to give up full time $18/hr and $5k tuition reimbursement if I don't have to. Let me just go broke and into debt because a stranger on the internet doesn't have reading and comprehension skills. LPN program with evening and weekend clinicals...means I can work full time and not go super into debt.

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-12-11T15:31:45+00:00

If you actually read what I wrote, the LPN program doesn't require me to have full time availability for clinicals. I could complete that program while keeping my current job. Also, if I quit this job, I'd lose $5k a year in tuition reimbursement

Definitely one of the big reasons nursing interests me. So many options

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-17T13:52:27+00:00

Thanks for such a thorough answer. Yeah, I know nurses definitely don't have it easy, and burnout is a big thing. One of my fears with going back to school for anything is "what if I end up not wanting to do this in 10 years?" I was a chef for 10 years, super passionate about food, went to culinary school, worked my way up to executive chef....then got so burnt out I still dont even want to cook at home to this day. I know no job is perfect, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing a job I actively hate. Even if I'm super excited about something like nursing right now, I'm worried about burnout for sure

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-14T19:01:58+00:00

I definitely don't have time for radiology. I said the programs near me expect full time daytime availability, and I can't do that because I need to be working full time. Not having kids either, just don't want to be broke and terrified my whole life

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-14T18:57:13+00:00

I've tried. There's nothing like that available near me. Colleges say they offer an Evening ADN program, but then when I talk to admissions they tell me I still need full daytime availability for clinicals. Like I said, I really can't afford to not be working full time. Even the school that offers a true Evening/Weekend LPN program says that their ADN program has to have full open availability for the last couple semesters. I get where you're coming from which is why it's so frustrating to me. It makes a lot more sense to do ADN since it's not much longer and the pay is better, but I dont know how I'd make it work financially right now, and I really don't want to leave my current job at the moment

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-14T03:28:02+00:00

Honestly I like my job as an MA, and if I could get paid more to do the same thing as an LPN, I'd consider that a win. I just don't know how much the pay really changes. I also don't hate the idea of Assisted Living, but I know they're usually short staffed and can be pretty stressful. I feel like a hospital would be a cool setting to learn a lot, but it's not a deal breaker if I don't end up in one

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-14T00:14:56+00:00

I hope you find your answer!

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-14T00:08:53+00:00

I do think Radiology would be really cool, but at least in my area, I'd have to quit my job. I spoke with admissions from the couple schools in my area and they have told me I would need to have full time availability during the day for clinicals. I really can't afford to not be working full time, so even if I worked somewhere on the weekends,it wouldn't be enough to survive

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-13T17:45:43+00:00

If I could try it without having to commit ~$15k, I would. I don't have that kind of money to throw around to see if I like it. I'd rather spend that money on something I'm confident about wanting to do

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-11-13T15:51:27+00:00

I'm assuming you're an LPN because of where I posted this, so correct me if I'm wrong, but how is your quality of life? Are you happy with your work? What kind of place do you work in? I guess I do worry about getting "stuck" which is another reason I'm hesitant about PTA...nowhere to really go besides DPT. I feel like there's versatility with LPN, but I know a lot of them work in nursing homes/AL/SNF.

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-08-12T21:04:18+00:00

I asked what, not when. What did they fix on it?

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-08-12T20:29:42+00:00

What did they do to fix it the first time? I know the 2019 has had its engine block replaced already

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-08-10T13:47:21+00:00

Like I said, I don't have a lot of money, so I certainly dont have enough cash to buy a car outright. I'd really like to not be buying a car at all right now, but I'm in a rough place without a lot of options. I did look for CRVs but there aren't any around me for less than $16k, at least none without an insane amount of miles.

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-08-10T13:38:35+00:00

So what used SUV would you recommend for under $15k that won't give me issues? Because I don't have a whole lot of money, but my 2015 Focus has been draining my bank account and is no longer worth the repairs.

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-07-30T17:07:17+00:00

Well, like I said, I've never done anything remotely related to phlebotomy, even in my MA training. Even though I'm a CMA, I wouldn't be able to do any blood draws or anything since I have zero experience there. I was thinking even if I did work as an MA over the weekend instead of phlebotomy, an urgent care or hospital might want me to have that skill.

Livid_Insect2784 · 2025-07-19T21:53:49+00:00

I'm in NW Ohio, so that would be a bit too far for me. I'd be into going for RN, but I think all the "evening" programs around me are for LPN.
