Don't stress... They have been saying that for years yet the college is consistently changing our scope of practice and allowing LPNs to work in more acute settings. I'm currently an LPN and recently obtained a job in Cardiovascular surgery where until a few years ago no LPNs were allowed to work. As the years go on we will eventually find ourselves in more acute settings as well as in leadership roles in Long Term Care. We are a cheaper alternative to RNs and therefore just as valuable as RNs. There will always be jobs for both professionals... Good luck with School..!!
