LPN (ADN) or RN?

Published

I know this question have been asked many times but I still have the dilemma.

I have the opportunity to get either in the LPN (ADN) or RN program. What would be better? Money wise? For career advance? The price difference is huge, and ADN will take longer...

I amd 35 years old and with a family so I am not sure if I will ever have time or want to get back to school.

Can anybody give me and advice?

Thanks

ADN does not mean LVN.....I have an ADN and I'm an RN, and a very well paid one!

People who have completed ADN programs are eligible for the RN licensure. In fact, 70 percent of all RNs in the U.S. are educated at the ADN level.

LPNs typically earn diplomas of practical nursing, although some have earned AAS degrees in practical nursing.

Typically, the RN licensure will present more career advancement opportunities, better flexibility, and more earning potential than the LPN license.
