Thanks MsCurly85
Twalicious- I am attending nursing school in the fall to get a career and stop working these jobs. I am enrolled in a two year program for an associates degree. I do plan on getting my MSN when it's all over and done.

Good Luck!!!

I have a question about the LPN programs in your area. Here it is highly discouraged and many of the LPN programs were discontinued. I think there maybe one or two left. There are not that many LPN jobs here in this area. Most people interested in nursing are steered to the RN route.
How is the job market for LPN's on your area?
I am in a RN program but was just wondering. The LPN's that do work at the hospital that I work at are grandfathered in. The only job an LPN can get is in a nursing home here.

Well I have two family members that are LPN's-they work in nursing homes b/c of the laid back atmosphere, and they pay more than hospitals. They are both in the process of going back for their RN. They are in the mid 30's a year and for middle GA and below that is not that bad. I have a B.A., but I don't just want to work a job, so that is why I'm taking the LPN route. If I like to career field, which I know I will, I will more than likely do an accelerated program, in about a year.

I feel you on just doing the job thing. That is what I am doing now and I hate it. Going to work is motivation for me to finish school so I will not feel humiliated anymore. Good luck to you!!!!

Do they have accelerated RN programs in your area? There are several one year programs here if you already have a degree. Quite expensive but it gets the job done. I was going to go to one but I have to work. I have a lot of LPN's in my program now and they are getting paid more then what a new RN grad will make but they said that their pay cap will not be as high as an RN.

There are a couple of schools, one is about 40 minutes away from where I'm moving to. There a few schools in my area that have the LPN-RN fast track programs. I'm doing my research, and my two family members are commuting anywhere from 20-45 minutes. So it is doable (if that's a word).
Getting paid more makes since because they have experience. I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
Good luck to you too.Second Time Around...BC'D 10.1.10

Hey Everybody!
A lot has been going on with me. First... I'm getting my first apartment! I'm so excited. It is right by my job, so I won't have that 60-70 minute drive home in the morning that I've had for the past two years. It'll be five minutes, if that. I start my orientation next week, Wednesday. I'm very excited about it.
One of my closest friends from nursing school was hired on the same floor with me, so I'll have her to support me and I'll be there for her as well. My orientation will be day shift and I will be taking a Kaplan review course at night. It will be hectic, and busy, and exciting. I am still getting all my documents (and money) together for boards.
I can't wait! ^_^
