I also failed by one point the first semester of my 2nd year. Totally frustrated with my schools RN program. I was able to get my LPN license and am also working in LTC. I love what I am doing, I am a 3rd shift float and work on all of my facilities 5 wings. I know every resident and also work in our Rehab which is the step down from the hospital. I am honored to be working at a job I love, and where the facility I work is a teaching facility. Mistakes are made but it is the policy to train not discipline. I am also letting God choose my path, if I am sopposed to be an RN I will. I have entered an online LPN-RN class and can't get motivated. I have earned a great deal of respect from the DON and believe that I am getting a great deal of knowledge from the rehab unit. Right now I am making with my bonus the same as an RN so I ask myself,do I really need to get my RN?
