Becoming an LPN

[blanca0622]

Hi! my name is Blanca and I'm starting my LPN program in October of this year. I'm pretty excited to start this nursing career because my goal is to become an RN. However, I live in NJ and the way the jobs are like now it looks like they are hiring more RN's than LPN's. I need a little advice from anyone with great knowledge and experience. I decided to enroll in the LPN program in my town so it can give me the experience and knowledge to become an RN. I also decided to volunteer at the hospital so I can gain experience while I'm going to school. My question to you is, is this a good idea for my RN future? should I be looking into other things to better off my career and obtain the experience I need so I can obtain a job in the near future? and am I taking the rights steps towards my RN career? Please help!!!! I'm 25 yrs. old and I feel that if I can start now I will be able to accomplish my goal by 30. Any advice would help.
