LPN or RN?

hi!

im an IEN but also a landed immigrant here in calgary, AB. i already sent my application to carna and they said my requirements are complete and i just have to wait for further instructions by mail. i heard that it takes a year for assessment to be finished and that is a long time. so, i have been considering challenging the LPN exam.

I dont know if its worth the risk (challenging the exam), if i get into LPN will my application to CARNA still be valid?

How long will it get me to be an LPN?

i kept on thinking if taking LPN might be a waste of money cause maybe anytime CARNA will instruct me to take the SEC then study. What if both requires me to do something at the same time.

i need ur advices. help.

    Your application to RN should not be affected if applying for PN at the same time. I am not sure on processing times for PN but you may find it takes a few months because you trained outside Canada

    thank u for giving me your insight about it :specs:

    should i consider taking lpn though? i honestly lack experience and im very aware that health care here is different from the philippines. i am good with theories and concepts and seems like LPN is more on skills.
