I have seen job adds for the outpatient departments for LPNs, there is only one LPN in my hospital who's scope is limited to that of a CNA II. She was grandfathered in, as they do not hire LPN's anymore
An incredible insult to her education to force her to work as a CNA, because she's a nurse, not an aide and is legally held to the standards of the license that she earned. I only hope she is paid as an LPN.

How is this an insult to her education? She is making the choice to work at an organization that does not utilize LPNs in a primary role. This is not uncommon. In fact, I have known LPNs who choose to work in acute care in a support staff role because they are paid better and have better benefits than primary nursing jobs they can get in the area in non-acute care. I am not saying there are not LPN jobs out there in acute care, but they are not abundant in most areas.

Can anyone tell me if they work in a children's hosptal that employs LPNs? I'm seriously considering going to back to nursing school. The problem is I had a hell of time with some of my pre-clinical classes. That is why I'm asking about LPNs because I feel I could never handle the studying involved in becoming an RN.
