pre-Lpn student, knowing behavior health is passion.

[kkcontractors]

I am hoping to get accepted into the Jan. Lpn program. Looking for advice and plan. I want to do the Lpn program and would love for my clinicals or after I'm done to work in Psych. or a behavior health clinic and finish my pre reqs for nursing and bridge over. Any thoughts from experienced nurses would be greatly appreciated and maybe an alternative plan from my own. I know this is my passion, growing up with a Bi-polar mother, who has battled prescription abuse her whole life. This line of work just fascinates me. Looking forward to the feedback, thank you!!!

Hi and welcome,

It sounds like a good plan to me. Keep an open mind though because its not unusual to find another passion as you are exposed to the different areas while in school. I was a LPN first and did almost the same things on my job as I now do as a RN. Good luck and keep us posted!
