:trout:NO NO NO NO, I have been an LPN for 8 yrs and I have had some of the worst treatment by RN's. Nurses are obsessed with titles, the only place you will be able to work in MD's office, nurs homes, rehab centers, and private duty. You will have almost no choices. I Think the only reason that the nursing boards have not closed LPN programs is because they know someone has to work in the nursing homes. I wish you luck with your decision but if I could do it over I would NEVER become a nurse PERIOD.
