    Go for your RN it's cheaper in the long run and its so hard to get hired in a hospital setting as an LPN. I am an LPN currently in school to obtain my RN and so wish I had went straight for my RN. I wish you the best of luck.

    This is what I've been told a lot too, I will have to still work full time while going to school, our local technical school offers a great part time lpn program which is what I was thinking and then working as an lpn while transitioning to rn rather than the whole time as a cna..

    I am taking a couple classes this semester to try and get my foot in the door to get into our nursing program here. It is TOUGH.

    Bump. I have a few more classes to take before I can apply to a nursing program. :smile:

    No matter what nurse you are..be ready to spend holidays apart from your family! The first 3 Christmases, Thanksgivings, etc. I celebrated after becoming a nurse...were with my patients.

    I just got my BSN and just found my first job after spending May-July searching. There are a ton of RN nursing jobs...but they will not hire new grads in many urban areas, as the demand is higher. In rural areas, you will most likely get hired quickly, but not in urban settings. I am lucky to have found a job!

    However, I love nursing so it was worth the wait to find a job!
