LPN school advice

Hello all, I have applied to the LPN programs at South Tech & St Louis college of health careers and have been interviewed for both programs. I am now waiting for a response whether I am in or out. I plan on going to school for my RN after becoming an LPN and I am just looking for advice before I begin school this fall 2012. How difficult is to get a job after graduating and becoming an LPN? I would like to work as an LPN before going back to school for RN. Thanks in advance!
