I am an LPN in BC for the past two years and am entering a registered psychiatric nursing program here in bc in january 2011. I have always been very fascinated with psych and am looking forward to my schooling. My question is whether most inpatient units are staffed by RNs or by RPNs? In my research I have talked with RNs and RPNs and each have their own views and ideas and I would like some clarification, please. PS I was also wondering about the job possibilites, I live up North so it might be harder to find work here then in a big metropolitan center?

All of you nurses have wonderful experiences, thank you for sharing. I am entering into a somewhat distance RPN 2 year diploma program here in BC in January 2011. I have been an LPN for two years already but I have a passion for psych nursing ever since I was a little girl. Anyway my question is if you are all RNs or RPNs, and do you find there is alot of work for RPNs out there?
