Is there any way to become a nurse or LPN threw an apprenticeship?
Asked by EarthGirlwantzPeace
I currently work for a hospital as a nurses aid. The hospital will pay for me to go the school to become a nurse but i wouldnt get payed for like 4 years. I have 4 kids ...Not an option. Plus i already know like half of what a nurse knows I was just wondering if theres a program where I can shaddow a nurse? Somthing other than sitting in a classroom relearning everthing i already know.... Any suggestions? Thx..

Best Answer:
There is no way to get around going to school. As the other poster indicated, an associate degree is certainly your best bet & you can go part time & still work part time. Although with 4 kids, you won't have much time to sleep! After you graduate, many hosptials offer a preceptor program, where you work with an experienced an RN. I could be wrong, but I would be surprised if you will find, if you pursue a nursing degree, that you actually know half of what an RN knows. I worked as a nurses aide before I went to nursing school. I didn't come anywhere close to knowing half of what a nurse knew.

Ive never heard of you not being paid while you went to school through them. Try going to a community college and see what programs they have to offer.
