I have...but I hate nursing. I just happened to be on that track after being a medic and then going to Lpn school in the Army. When I got out everyone expected me to get my Rn. So I pretty much took my time taking one course here and there at a local community college. My ex husband (he's a good man even though he's my ex) said I was taking my time because I never wanted to be a nurse...and he was right.
I can't even think of going back to school and getting my RN. Just the thought of it sends shivers down my spine. So I have my liberal arts degree in something I always wanted to study. My Lpn diploma(just in case!) and a great job I am doing currently that only requires a certificate!
Still, I was always embarrassed of it. Especially because I never planned to pursue an Rn. I do get alot of, "That's it? "
.....
Or at least I used to get embarrassed, when they realized I wasn't going further with it. My that's it vocational diploma still pays better than alot of people's bachelor's.
