Curiously, what did you end up doing and how did you like it? I'm getting ready to get my RN and haven't decided yet in where to go myself.

I am an LPN to RN student starting school in January. I have been an LPN for 11 years working in clinics. I want to get floor experience as an RN so one day when I have plenty experience and confidence, I can travel. I feel like I’m too picky though. I have to write things down a lot to remember them especially if I’m anxious. So that’s scares me. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I have heard horror stories about Med surge and really hated those clinicals in PN school. I like the thought of Labor and Delivery but that might be because I had a really good clinical experience once. I am scared of ICU but intrigued by it. Admittedly though, I’m not super tech savvy so all the drips scare me. I can’t do pediatrics because my son being very sick and almost dying traumatized me and I cry at the sight of a sick child. Ugh, Where do I belong? Any positive advice? Please don’t say I don’t belong anywhere, I feel lead to go back to school even if I don’t know where I'm going. Thanks for any help you can offer!

I just applied to an LPN to RN bridge program, hesitantly. I like nursing. I don’t love it but I need more opportunities to make better money and I would like to work on the administrative side of things eventually.

I’m so glad to have found this thread. I’m 44 getting ready to turn 45. I’m an LPN and thinking of going back for my BSN. I was feeling too old! Are there programs online that you can do? How do clinical work?
