    I am a LVN that works on a SNF unit that deals with orthopedic too. Man its amazing work to see someone go from not walking or moving to moving around on thier on. I am trying to get into a online RN program but I don't know whci one to choose. You guys do know that they are suppose to be trying to get rid of all LVN inthe hospital. So if you are a LVN go back to school. It will be well worth it.

    Started nursing in 1992 as an LPN. Did everything from Ortho to ICU. Got my RN in 2003. Did ICU for a while with a little travel nursing thrown in with it. Started Trauma ER in 2005 and In March of this year started doing Interventional Radiology. I miss the shock traumas, the helicopters, and the adrenaline rushes. But I love working 0630 to 1500 and having the weekends and holidays off. I do one night of call a week and every 5th weekend.
