Some background...I am going to school for my LPN. I wanted to do RN, but after becoming pregnant, and being in need of money sooner, I don't want to risk failing out of a RN program, when I could get my LPN sooner. I have to take one pre-req next semester and then my biology pre-req in the summer, and hopefully be accepted into the program for Fall '08.
I have however taken all but two pre reqs for RN program, but the RN program would be harder than LPN and also three or four more classes longer.
I do plan to go back for my RN down the road.
Okay to my main question. I don't want to work in a hospital, I want to work in a private practice, particularly for a gynecology or womens health. Am I more likely to be hired as an LPN to work in a private practice rather than a RN being hired into a private practice?

Yeah, I am not surprized. This woman saw that you were a fast learner, and would probably have tried to suggest and implement things to make work faster and better than she. In order to halt this, she decided to make you look bad. Also, new grads have more current knowledge and this intimidates people that do not continue to update themselves. I am sorry this happened and wish you the best in your new position.
