Hi all, I'm seven months away from graduation in my ADN program. I've been applying for nurse internship positions as I am now eligible with only one more semester to graduation. My question is: is the general conception that LTC experience is not worthwhile/transferable to acute care jobs true? I've heard this so often but now suddenly having to make decisions between internships (which I hope will lead into jobs!) I'm getting very nervous about making the right choices in employment. Ideally I definitely do NOT want to work LTC long-term.
Any thoughts/feedback on this issue?
(Not sure if this is the right place to post this: apologies if not!)

So you're about to graduate from an RN program, but you are deciding between challenging the LPN boards or being a CNA?
It doesn't really seem like you have much time to be a LPN, you'd still have to study for boards and get hired, and you might not be hired if they know you'll be graduating RN school this semester.
