Actually, it gets even better. Since I work hospice/home health, and live in a crowded city, it is pretty much required that we use our bikes to go from client to client. I average 90 minutes bike time per shift, which sure helps keep me in shape. Also, my company has a "bicycle plan", which gives us a good bike at a cheap monthly payment, including insurance on it. I haven't driven a car in several years, and don't miss it at all--that post about spending $400 a month on gas to get to work really shocked me!!! Good luck on your finals.

Hi-- I did exactly what you plan on doing. With 6 months to go before graduating from an RN school, I sat for the LPNs. I was very nervous baout passing the RN boards, and wanted the LPN diploma as an insurance policy, in case the worst happened. As to the question content (and this was 16 years ago, mind you), I found that if there were 4 answers, and one of them was "Go to the RN in charge", that was the appropriate answer. Not always, but it's a good rule of thumb. You have to always remember while testing that many things you have been taught to do as an RN you cannot do as an LPN. I found the test to be easy, and was glad to have taken it. Shortly after taking the test, my life partner died, and I stopped my RN schooling 6 weeks before completion. But I had my LPN license, and that's what I do now.
