Nursing Students ADN/BSN

Published

Hello all. I am graduating from a state school in two months with a degree in human services, (Associates) and I would like to become a nurse. I applied to some schools and have gotten wait listed because all their seats were currently taken, my college took a long time to send my transcripts. This is my question, how much more stress does an RN have compared to an LPN? I am the type of person that worries a lot and I usually have a lot of things going on so I usually have a lot of stress. I feel that if I became an RN, with the stress of life, plus the stress of the job, I would burn out quickly. I think I would be better fit as an LPN. However, everyone keeps telling me there is not much more stress involved with being an RN. So I figured I would ask people who actually know what they are talking about and who are currently working as nurses. I have faith in myself that I can pass nursing school and the exam, but I feel my personality is better suited for life as an LPN. Can anyone offer any advice? I am wait-listed so far for my colleges, so if I don't get a call that they have an open spot, my plan is to become a CNA until I can start resuming classes. Thanks in advance for your input!!!!

Can anyone offer me anything at all?
