Yes, silly me I guess I didn't need to specify did I....my ultimate goal is to work in the NICU. While I'm looking at job postings in Alberta there is noting listed for NICU for an LPN, is that because it's not a job I would be able to hole or is there just nothing open. The amount of school doesn't bother me at all. Thanks for your input. Krista

I should mention that I do live in Canada. I guess my question is among fellow nurses vs patients. I suppose that if I want to be a nurse an LPN is just as respected as an RN, correct? Also we would share a lot of the same duties, and in the long run I could also do the LPN...RN track.

Hello, I am a 37 year old mother of 3 and I am bamboozled! I have talked and investgated and researched my brains out:confused: I am upgrading until April of 2012, and starting either LPN, or BScN in the fall, here is where my fear or lack of understanding comes into play. I want to be a nurse, I want to care for people but my concern is even though I will have 2 years of schooling under my belt(LPN), I won't have the respect as a "real nurse",(this is a perceived notion, not a statement) within the care facility. Am I the only one who feels this way? I have no time constraints, I'll be 40 one day either way..lol so that doesn't factor in. Any opinions, or comments welcomed.
