A licensed practical nurse is a nurse. These are accelerated rigorous courses of study. LPN is not a consolation prize for those finding RN programs too challenging.

Good luck as you pursue a career in allied health

After reading through your posts I applaud you on your decision to NOT pursue nursing any further. It takes a special type of person to be a great nurse, not just a competent one or one that simply became a nurse for a lucrative job field as we have much too many of those. It is better to find out now than finding out while you're in a program. Hopefully you find your true calling. BTW, LPN's are still nurses and are typically those who make up the majority of memory care, SNF & LTC field and you still will have to deal with those that are dieing and delivering the news to families (something I read that you aren't fond of)

So we went from being "destined for this" to "it was only a dream." Alrighty then.

OP reminds me of when my daughter was 6 or 7 and wanted to be a teacher/writer/dog trainer/dancer/unicorn all in the space of about a month.

Seriously, you need to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually find out what the training for your eleventy hundred career choices entails.

LPN IS a nurse, and the program isn't a cakewalk. Speech Pathology programs are highly competitive, and Biomedical Engineering is heavy on science.

Speech pathology is a minimum of a masters if not clinical doctorate and programs are highly competitive. Medical lab technician is a bachelor's and highly math & science based

Social worker is master's plus minimum depending on focus area/specialization.

Biomedical engineer is bachelor's to masters and very competitive with high level science (statistics, trigonometry, calculus 1-3, differential equations). Radiology professions require college level physics, statistics and sometimes calculus. Sonographers are present for devastating diagnoses such as fetal demise.

Good luck to you.

Hey all this will be my last post as a pre nursing student!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am done living in a dream world where i think nursing is something practical that i could ascertain. I believe that after much thought and consideration. What i thought i wanted is not really what i wanted. What i may consider is a career as a surgical technologist or diagnostic medical sonographer, or as a dental assistant, or a licensed practical nurse, occupational therapy assistant, or a physical therapy assistant, athletic trainer, medical transcriptionist, medical receptionist, pharmacy aide, pharmacy technician, medical assistant, EKG Technician, Medical Laboratory Technician, Phlebotomist, Biomedical Engineering, Forensic Science Technician, Social Worker, Speech Pathologist.
