what are ways to set myself up for success?

I am about to start an LPN program but want to get my RN then NP one day. I am wondering, would it be possible to be an NP that works primarily in a clinical setting but does research on the side?

okay ?

like what type of advisor?

I may or may not have someone who can mentor me. Like I have cousins who are/were nurses but IDK anyone who is a peds nurse

thank you so much ?

that's alot to take in wow! Thanks for telling me a lot about yourself!

Hey, I am high functioning. That is one of the reasons I want to be a peds nurse yes!

who can I ask for help? So you're saying I might have to reassess my career goal because I won't have what it takes?? I am open to volunteering but sometimes I may not have time

will do

I am currently in my first term of LPN program and want to become RN one day then NP eventually. This topic is something that could be posted on a few different categories on AllNurses. I am 18. I am on the autism spectrum, have learning disabilities, and I'm male. I also want to be a pediatric nurse. Being autistic can add difficulty to the already daunting career of nursing. Having learning disabilities can make nursing school even more difficult than it already is. Being a male nurse in general is hard but in pediatrics it's even more hard. Could anyone give me any advice, please, I'd appreciate it so much?!?!

OK I know what a SIN is but I didn't know the US uses a different name

what's SSN?

Is it important to have all 5 of those experiences so it opens up opportunities?

Well don't all programs have all of those?

I have been accepted into an LPN program in Calgary. After I work as an LPN for a bit, I would like to go back to school for my RN. Since I would like to work as an RN in the US one day and also get my graduates degree to become an NP in the US, my question is what LPN-RN bridge programs would be the best choice for someone like me who wants to work in the US and Study in the US one day?

thanks for the info:)

that's quite a bit of options for sure!

I live in Canada.

great job. where abouts do you live? OK thanks for letting me know!

I am entering my final year of high school and look forward to hopefully start out in post secondary next fall! My plan is to Get my LPN first then work my required time as an LPN then apply to LPN to RN bridge program then one day after having experience as an RN, hopefully apply to NP school. anyone else plan on/in the process/ have done LPN and worked all the way up to NP?

I'm just curious are you ever planning to get your RN one day? I would like to work with children as well too! I'm glad home health has worked out well for you! 80 pounds to us males seems like nothing LOL. I have heard about nursing jobs in prison! I imagine you had to do clinicals in long term care facilities, is that right? how did those clinicals in the old folks home treat you? I am entering my final year of grade school and after I graduate I hope to go for me LPN then after a year or two go for my RN and then one day after working as an RN for a bit, I want to go for my NP! speaking of NP programs, I believe getting into NP programs in Canada where I live is more difficult than getting into American NP programs but I heard Canadian NP programs are better. Best of luck to the remainder of your nursing career!

What I want to talk about is something I didn't know if I should put in this section or the "men in nursing" section. My first question is, are there very many LPNs that are male? Is it more difficult being a male LPN than an RN? my next question is, What are the job opportunities for an LPN that's not in an old folks home or anything like that, I've never had that interest because working in one seems kinda bland in the diversity of tasks you do?
