LPN jobs/salary Broward County?

My ultimate goal is to be a RN but with the waitlist for schools being so long I'm seriously considering going to atech. school to become a LPN fist. Anyone in Broward know how the job market and starting salary is for new graduate LPN's? Thanks

WOW!!! I have heard of waiting lists for RN school....never really hit untill now the reality of it. That is amazing to me. I go to school with no waiting list for the RN program. Additionally, all prospective students must have all of the RN pre reqs even to be accepted into the LPN program, just to make it easier for LPN students who want to go on to RN ..... It makes you think we need to be recruiting more nurse educators...improve their pay...something. I mean, that is the reason for the outragious[sp] RN school waiting list, right, not enought nurse educators?
