Question - LPN vs. RN

First off let me say that I am new here and I just love this place, it has so much information and others willing to help you. I have been on here for about 3 days now just reading posts and found alot of helpful information. My question is I am wanting to go into nursing and I was going to take the LPN class which will take me a year to complete and later go and take my RN online while I work as a LPN. I was wanting to know if I did this how do you do your clinicals as a RN student?

Basically you would have classes like a normal student when you are going for your RN and then work as an LPN all the rest of the time.

Pretend you aren't an LPN for instance....goto school and clinicals all day and then work at night or whenever you don't have class as needed. Exact same thing if you are an LPN already.

That leaves you about 5.5 hours to do . . . sleeping

That's right! You need to do all that, too. Especially the part about being good to your lady
