Quoting Mama Lizzy :]:" I'm actually in a similar situation- I was in school to be a RVT but put it on hold till after I had ... [snip!] ... Maybe start with some basic classes that could apply to both degrees and see where your heart is at after you have your baby?"

LVNs aren't in NICU care.  

Quoting Evette Gonzalez:" Im applying to both types of colleges. I have 6 months to decide what exactly i want to do. Im 17 & undecided. Can i get any advice on what i should do? Thank you "

I think you mean Vet tech. Vet school is MED school for animal lovers. Not a bachelor's degree.

Quoting Shakespeare's Tragedy:" LVNs aren't in NICU care.  "

I meant she could become an LVN and then continue school while working to become an RN and then continue on to be w/e type of nurse she wants such as a neonatal nurse

I think you should let your interest guide you. Which field evokes more passion in you? If you like both the fields equally, then I would give my vote to nursing simply because it is among the top healthcare professions right now. Also, it’s pretty easy to break in to this career – the entry-level educational requirement to become an RN is a two-year Associate's nursing degree available at community colleges as well as some four-year postsecondary schools and universities.

You have a lot to think about. Don’t get me wrong- both are great career options but you really have to think about whether you’re cut out for a career in these fields. I’d suggest reading about the professions and speaking to professional within the field before making any decision. Healthcare is a great field to invest in, in the current economy and you have other options within the field as well. Like I said- take some time to figure out your goals. I’m interested in healthcare myself and I’m currently reading a California College San Diego review.
