:)Hi Lpn's from ILLInOIs,

there is quite a group of us banging our heads wondering if its worth becoming a LPN. I think its mosty because we are hearing stories that they are phasing out LPN's and using MA's instead. Another reason is that will there be jobs out there for us after we graduate and where? Or is it just better to apply in the RN program instead. So I thought if I could just hear from some recent LPN's that have graduated and have started working. I would love to hear any story on becoming a LPN in ILL. Thank you soo much and I really hope to hear from someone.

has anyone ever wondered if the nursing shortage could be fixed if the government changed a few rules?

nursing homes could be run with an lpn as the don, the unit manager/clinical care coordinator, and/or administrator.

ma's could work in the role that the lpn has worked in.

that would free up a lot of nurses. the lpn's could work in the hospitals. couldn't that help fix the nursing shortage?????

if i were younger i would go back for my RN. i love being an LPN in the hospital, but we are being phased out. i work nights full time, and husband is a cancer survivor for 6 years now. the time with him is worth more than the RN to me. i tell the younger ones to get their RN while they can. it shouldn't be this way, but times have changed, and not for the better in my opinion.
