Hello everyone. I want to go into the Practical Nursing Program, and then while I am a nurse study to become an RN. I would like feedback on this, if anyone can help Thanks.

If you're out in bufu this is a viable career option. If you're in a major metropolitan area, just go and get your RN first through an ADN or BSN program - there's not much call for LPNs in larger cities, though if working in an LTC is your calling you can make do with the LPN.

If you want to work in the medical field while pursuing an RN program become a PCT or CNA first. Then you can get work in a hospital and get your foot in the door so to speak. In most areas LPNs do not work in hospitals.
