Unless the cost is prohibitive I would take them .. Of course I am biased because I was an LPN for 17 years. You will be able to pick up work if you want and make more money than you would as a student intern or CNA whatever the case may be where you are.
I would definately take them if you can afford them..That might be your only loss is the money..They can't be all that expensive. I believe in 97 the RN in my state was about $140..
