Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

I worked as a LPN for 7 years before starting Osteopathic medical school. I just want to offer my experience/advice for anyone considering this path.

Hello, I'm a recent lvn grad working for about 2 months now. I often contemplate going back to school for RN, but wonder if medical school would be a better choice. Can you share why you went that route and how its going for you?

Not sure what you mean by "'skip' RN;" since nursing and osteopathy are two entirely different, unrelated disciplines, there's no reason why becoming an RN would be a step on the route to becoming an osteopath that one would "skip." Sort of like saying you "skipped" becoming an English professor on the way to DO. :)

Best wishes for your journey!

The way I perceived the OP's post was that they just didn't want to spend the time becoming an RN (the next step after lvn) when they knew they wanted to ultimately be a DO. You're right in that being an RN isn't a step to becoming a doctor but considering they are an lvn now I could understand the use of the word.

What did you end up getting your Bachelors in instead? (: I thought about just finishing a BSN but realized the prerequisite requirements would be much different....
