LPNs who continued on to RN....I have a question for you?

[AntFlip7395]

Being an LPN before becoming an RN definitely helped a lot, because I didn't need to focus so much on skills, I could dedicate time to critical thinking and nursing theory. In addition, working as an LPN on a busy cardiac tele floor for the last six years really helped because I have learned so much in terms of assessment and prioritization than I would have if I had worked in LTC (just my opinion, but I think you lose skills if you work in LTC for an extended period).
