Hello all...

I'm new to this site, I've seen this site many times when doing research and finally decided to join. I'm currently in an LVN program. I have a B.S. in Health Science/Community Education from Cal-State Eastbay. I just found that the LVN program worked for me, eventually I will do the RN program.

:p

Interesting!

I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering!

I did the Adult LPN...and I hated it!

I have been an RN since 2004...and I love it!

Nice to meet U!

Thanks, nice to meet you too =)

My plan is to work a year after I finish the LVN program then focus on RN, go back to school and do it! Did becoming an LPN make the RN program easier for you?

It is easier in terms of interview!

You will need to be interviewed before entering into an RN Program!

If the interviewer know that you are already an LPN, it will be easier for the interviewer to make a decision.

I was working a year then I went straight to an RN Program designed for the working LPN's. I needed the money at that time...So I was working!

I think you can/should do both if LPN is not your "final stop." A four year BSN Program is highly recommended!

Yes my plan is to keep going and my final stop would be to become a Public Health Nurse...I love how you can work with the public to not only help them get healthy but also help them out in other aspects.

I was wondering though in terms of being on the floor as an RN was it easier for you in school having that extra exprience as an LPN?

Regarding to your question, are you asking me if working on the floor as an RN easier because of my LPN experience or are you asking me if the RN Program is easier for me because I was an LPN?

I think I will answer both!

It is easier to work on the floor as an RN because I had 4 years of giving medication experience.

But it is not easier for the RN Program, it depends on who is your professor/instructor. Because you are an LPN, so you should have higher standard! Your class will be divided into 2 parts--class & clinical! I think the clinical was hard because the instructor was looking over my shoulders! She could fail me for the "small" things. Failing twice will be "terminated" from school...So it was not easy at all!

I hope I have answered all your questions!:typing

lol sorry yes I was asking both of those questions...even now the school I'm attending, they are so picky. I think it's a good thing to make me work hard so I can get a lil feel for nursing. I will plan to work for a year just to do the same, learn how to admister meds.
