I'm an LPN with 1 semester of RN school left. I'm going to be chastised for this but, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. do what you have to do to become an RN. The jobs are dwindling down for lpns. Doctor offices only hire med techs/assistants and hospitals don't even waste time with lpns. Your basically stuck to a nursing home. My $0.2
I agree with justanlpn. Currently hospitals are moving more towards hiring a registered nurse with their BSN. Take the time at community collages to obtain the basics and transfer to an accredited university to obtain your BSN. Each person is different though and inclined to their opinion. Hope this helps.
I am a LPN student and I don't know where you are but unlike the other posters said, there ARE jobs for LPN's here. Many people that graduated from my program work in the hospital clinics and Doctor offices around here. I see them all the time when I go to clinical and even to my own doctor and if you just type in my zip code and LPN on a job site like monster a bunch of opportunities pop up. Do the research in your area to see what is available.
there are PLENTY of jobs for LPN's not really sure why people make it seem like they are phasing them out...if that were the case they wouldn't be any LPN programs...Massachusetts has a lot of jobs for LPN's some paying as much as $30 an hour and NOT in a nursing home.....just saying :-)

I'm considering an LPN program and I've been browsing on here. I keep seeing comments about BSN's being the only ones getting jobs. But I did a search for lpn jobs in ma and thousands came up.
