I feel the LPN to RN path is a great way to advance yourself as a well prepared nurse. I have been an LPN for ten years and learned a tremendous amount of clinical skill in addition to Med/Surg theory and that knowledge base carried over into my studies on the ASN track. I graduated in May and am due to sit for NCLEX and have already secured a position at a local hospital (the #1 reason I went for the ASN) that I wanted to get in. If this is the path you are going to choose, GOOD FOR YOU. It means that when you do get your ASN, you will not be regarded as a "newbie" but as a nurse with floor experience at a higher educational level. According to Maslow's hierarchy once you've hit that self actulization level, you will seek out ways to improve yourself.

Good Luck to you!!!!
