Choices

I am about to start my second semester in my nursing program. They accept 100 people and for the first 2 semesters we are all considered LPN students. Well After this second semester i have to choose whether i want to go on for the summer semester and graduate in august as an LPN... Or continue on for 3 more semesters(summer, fall,spring) and graduate May 08 as an RN. I really know that nursing is what i want to do and i am doing well, I'm confident that i will graduate as a nurse(RN or LPN), i told everyone i was going for my RN and what not, but now I'm thinking about becoming an LPN. Can someone tell me what are some of the difference in responsibilities between RN and LPN. How is it for guys as LPNs? I want to be a nurse as soon as possible, i mean i can wait i am not strapped for cash and i could go another year, i have family and friends who help me out alot, and thats one of the reasons why i would want to continue on as a RN, but I think it would also be great to be an LPN. I know its a decision only i can make but maybe some of you out there can give me some insight with your experiences,

thanks
