Wow that RN is actually not a Thinker and doesnt know much about LPN roles. Since ive been a LPN I've had to make critical decisions that could help or hurt a person and ive helped RNs do their job. I think all nurses should start as CNAs then work their way up to differrnt levels to really be able to understand patient care. Ive worked in dialysis were RNs only know how to do paperwork and pull meds I could run circles around them (so to speak) in patient care. Experience is key to nursing.

That is wonderful i totally understand where your coming from! Very true some people are better in support positions.

Great advice thanks for the comment. I have decided to go for my RN only so i can explore more areas in The medical field. I will always respect the position of an LPN i cant see things in the medical field functioning well without dedicated LPNs.

I went from CNA to CMA to ACMA to LPN and I feel comfortable with my position. I like what I do. Even though I'm offered help with school to become a RN I have no desire to become one. LPNs are very knowledgeable and do what most RNs do.

so I just took the HESI and it is the easiest test I have taken in a long time, it felt like I was taking a compass test, I passed my first time. I did do the online practice exam a few times, I plan on going to Platt College in Moore OKC, im not paying for it so im not worried about the cost . hope everything goes well.
