MA to LPN instead of RN

Is it worth going from MA to LPN instead of RN.

I want to work in a hospital eventually, do they hire LPN's often?

I just prefer the programs more directed towards my degree without all the extra classes. It seems to be what I do best in and we don't have an RN program to my knowledge like that.

    Around here, hospitals prefer RNs (with BSNs) and CNA2s. LPNs work more in nursing homes and other long term care facilities.

    It really depends on your locale. I hear they still hire LPNs occasionally at some hospitals here in Central FL. Honestly, try taking a crack at some of the RN prereq classes and see how they go. I am a second degree pre-nursing student and I am going for the ASN to save time and money as opposed to going the ABSN or BSN route. If you can hack the prereqs, you'll save yourself a lot of time if you want to work in a hospital. If not, going the LPN and LPN to RN route might offer an easier transition.
