I would like to know how many of you are happy being an LPN/LVN and do not plan on going on for your RN.
I am hoping to get accepted again, this fall, into the LPN program at school. I had gotten accepted for the Fall semester of last year, however, due to health problems at the time, I was not able to accept the spot in class. I am much better now.
I am just not so sure I want the responsibility of being an RN. I keep hearing such horror stories. I want to help people and make a decent living, enough to support my family. I just don't think the extra money of being an RN is going to be worth the stress of being an RN (from what I have heard from many RN's).
Do you enjoy being an LPN/LVN? How long do you plan on working?
No, I'm not satisfied with being an LPN. heck I'm still an LPN student. lol! Basically put, I don't want to stay an LPN; I want to move up the nursing ladder to become an RN. I want to learn as much as I can in the nursing field and deliver that care to my pts. To those LPN's who have stayed LPN's, keep doing what you doing. That last thing a nurse wants is to be pressured to work as an RN when he or she does not want to.
