Hey- I am wanting to go to school to become an LPN next fall but am a little hesitant if COVID is still around by then and the program is offered online. I am not sure how well I can learn with an online program, especially a program that I feel needs to be very hands-on like nursing. Around here the labs are in-class but the other courses are online. Just wondering if anyone is in nursing school right now and what they think of it? Thanks!

Hey, I am wanting to become a Practical Nurse. I currently live in Ontario but was thinking of applying to schools in Alberta as well (In Ontario, Practical Nurses are RPN's whereas in Alberta they are called LPNs). I was told you still learn the same stuff though. I am just wondering if anyone else has done this? Or if they know if there really is much of a difference between the two. My biggest concern would be if I went to school in Alberta but then after school wanted to move back to Ontario- if it would be harder to get a job? Or if I decided later on I wanted to go back to school to become an RN- all the bridging programs in Ontario only accept RPNs, not LPNs so I would have to take the full 4 years instead of 3 or have to do the schooling in Alberta. Any advice would be appreciated! :) Thanks!
