I'm an LPN and have work in L&D. It just depends on your hospital's policy. (If you become an LPN you'll become used to that quote.) Anyway, I would not recommend the LPN thing. You will be doing the exact same job as the RN, but not getting paid for it. In fact, sometimes you'll even get stuck with the worst jobs because you're an LPN. I'll be finished with my RN soon. It is worth the extra year, and if you look at it this way, at least in college you get a whole month off for Christmas and a long summer break! You won't get those in LPN school.

Yes I have ADD and I'm also Dyslexia. I have been very successful and I'm at the top of my class. Just keep in mind, it is not something that should hold anyone back, it should simple push you forward and work harder than the rest! I've even pre-qualified to being my BSN early before my completeion of my ADN. I'll graduate in May with only six classes left for my bachlors. And believe me, if I can do it, anyone can.(I know that is a lame saying!) But I know how easy it can be to say you can't do it because of learning "issues". I used it for seven years as an LPN for an excuse not to go back to school.
