Right choice for a soon to be LPN student

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone, I am about to get into the LPN program and wanted to know what you guys think about somthing. I have a 3 year old so I have to have daycare. Well, the area I live in has two schools I could attend for the program. One school is a 40 min drive, but offers good daycare that I can afford. The other school is way closer to me but daycare is a little more expensive. I am wondering what some of you guys had to do as far as kids, day care, and the early morning classes. Any advice would really help. Thank you

Day care is usually a big problem when it comes to issues like this. I was faced with such too.however, I would go for the one i can afford even though it means driving that far. It's only for a short period. Another important factor is you may have to find out their time. (Opening and closing time). If you have a clinical assignment at 6.30 and they open about 6-6.30am. You can be sure of running late to clinical site, or if you have to stay up in school until about 6-7pm when day care closes by 6pm...you know, you reallly have to put all those into consideration and be able to come up with one that suits your schedule...
Goodluck
