DaughteroftheKing 213 Posts Specializes in Neuro ICU. Apr 24, 2008 Hi Guys,From what i've read on this forum, the LPN program sounds pretty good. But i wanted to ask, does anyone know how hard it is to get a job as an LPN in the hospitals in AZ ? Where do most LPN's work ? How much less would LPN's make compared to RN's ? What schools offer LPN to BSN programs and how long would it take to get the BSN ?The reason Im going to MSC is to work as an LPN at the Long Term Facility I currently work at (starting pay for LPNS is usually about $18-19) & go directly from block 2 (last block of LPN) to block 3 (RN), so I am still going for my RN, just getting my LPN this way is alot quicker. The main positions for LPNs are mostly in Skilled Nursing Facilities, but you can occasionally find positions at hospitals with slightly lower pay..

AAHHHHJust wanted to see if there was anyone else...Im in the August start date. Not sure if I will be attending though! The folks in student services are not always "together". But, I cannot possibly imagine what their workload is like so Im not judging. I just know I only ask for the same person and I call back if I cannot get him. Or, I just drive down there! I thought August was full though.....Good Luck!
DaughteroftheKing 213 Posts Specializes in Neuro ICU. Jun 5, 2008 Yeah, I know a few people who have graduated from there The only complaints they have are the long days (8-3)They all say the education is much better than the administration.August is full- my sisters still waiting to see if anyone drops out to get in, but I already got in; got my letter a couple months ago..

DaughteroftheKing 213 Posts Specializes in Neuro ICU. Jun 5, 2008 Trust me, even with the grant Im getting & only needing to pay $4000 for the years tuition, I still dont know if its worth it.. But I just cant stand waiting any longer!! If only there was another place where you didnt have to wait two freakin years lol..
