wonderful city

thank you......so much......i thought you all would never show up.rn's are the best:)

:stone :stone :stone no response to your blatant attempt to troll around here and start a flame war.

I agree with most of your post but the reason why there is such a huge contrast in pay between the RN and the LPN/LVN is simple. Education.....even though some people may not see education as being that important.....society rewards education. More t...

Maybe not to you Fiona59......but to me the post above sounded good enough to start a RN vs. LVN/LPN. I was just stating the obvious in reference to education and pay.

first of all congrats:balloons: on your acceptance....i know exactly how exited you are.....RN's are the best.....second I have a quick question for you. What program did you get accepted into? The reason why I ask is, i see you start nursing school ...

same goes for you.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... yeah okay:stone .....................please don't turn this into an RN vs. LPN/LVN.....because in the end the RN always comes out on top....but of course with the higher education and higher pay!!!

The fact is NP/PA's are both equal. The only time you have someone that will argue that fact is when they fill threatened by the other. You can try and compare the education all you want to....the whole "well PA's have more clinical time than NP's".....

Agree with you 100%

Thank you for your honesty:) ........I agree with you 100% and that is why I am going straight for my RN. No regets over here.:chuckle

Not trying to disagree.....but saying the LPN/LVN boards are harder than the RN boards sounds a "little" far fetched. Do you think the reason why the RN boards were easier for your friend is because he already was an LPN and had nursing experience an...

If you are starting nursing school in 2005.....raise the roof LOL. I just recieved my acceptance letter today....pretty pumped right now...excited....anxious....nervous....but most of all ready. :balloons:

This discover nursing site is awesome!!! http://www.discovernursing.com/default.aspx It shows the true value of the ever needed RN. It has links to all sort of helpful advice on the subject of RN's. It has statistical info, helpful tips, programs, ar...

Awesome, congrats SusanJean!!! :roll

I agree with you Marie_LPN.

YES!!!

I dont think that J&J is spitefully not promoting LPN/LVN's. It is just that they are addressing the need for more RN's. From my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) the LPN/LVN position was created to be extra hands for the RN because the sh...

An RN's yearly salary is double and somtimes triple to that of an LVN/LPN not because of 1yr difference of school but rather anywhere from 2-3 more years......(read my post above).

Here in my city in the wonderful state of Texas...........you do not need any pre-reqs for the LVN/LPN program. But for the RN(ADN/Diploma) program you need a full 1yr(including summers) of pre-reqs. For the BSN you need 2 full yrs of pre-reqs. Add t...
