....who was going to nursing school while working full-time as an MT at the hospital where I was working at the time (she worked 10 hrs/day Fri-Mon). She said that she was very strongly advised NOT to do LPN and then RN, but rather to go straight for the RN. I don't remember exactly why....I got the impression that once you work as an LPN, it is hard to come back as an RN and get the respect you deserve. But I could be wrong about that - you probably should talk to the people at the school where you plan to go, both students and faculty.
Have you ever worked in a patient care situation before? It can be pretty intense. If you think it is something you want to do, go for it! And good luck. |
