Hi, I am a canadian High School student, interested in becoming a LPN and want to know a little bit more of the life of a current LPN... Some questions I have is, how are your working hours? I heard that they're insane and that you never have time for yourself/family/friends. Do you feel that you are you looked down upon in the health care community? and how is the salary? and your work placements? because i want to work in a hospital, but I'm thinking about the future, because i heard that hospitals aren't hiring LPNs anymore:(

Yes I do understand that... Although isn't BSN a university level program, I am taking all applied/college level courses in high school

I want to become a nurse, specifically a registered nurse, but unfortunately i won't be able to take the right high school prerequisites to be qualified for RN programs, therefore i will be taking a LPN program in collage. What is the difference between a LPN and a RN.. any pros and cons?

Edited: I am thinking of taking a practical nursing program (college), than afterwards I move up to a nursing bridging program (university) to become a registered nurse... Is this a good plan? Any colleges/ universities do you recommend that provide these programs?
-
OK thank you... Now what topic may i have been misinformed about?
-
When I say "College level courses" I mean that they are high school courses but applied level (courses only qualified for college)...

I am a high school student currently trying to plan out my future, post-secondary. I want to become a registered nurse, but since the courses I am taking in high school are college level, I am not qualified to apply for the BSN/BScN... I was thinking of applying for a practical nursing program (Humber, centennial, George brown, Seneca), then after the 2 year program, I move forward and apply for a bridging program (Centennial, George brown,ryerson)... Is this the right choice? Any other options I can take? If I do take this route, any school recommendations that provide the best in these courses?? Please I need all the help I can get...
