I am currently a LPN in the state of Louisiana. I love being a LPN. I currently work at a skilled LTC unit and am happy with my career choice. BUT I am currently in a LPN to RN (ADN) program and I hate it. I am confused about what I should do and I am hoping to find some insight from others through this post. Is it normal for a LPN (who loves what they do) to have no desire to become a RN? I have been told it would be worth it, BUT I cannot stand RN school. I loved LPN school, but now during this RN program, I feel like its not for me? I do not quite understand why? I love being a nurse. I do not think being a RN is the right choice, but I am told ALL the time I NEED to get my RN in order to be happy and live comfortably. I have been a LPN for 2 1/2 years. I have a good job that pays well that I enjoy (most of the time lol). I recently purchased my first house on my own nickel. I am 24 years old. I do not like feeling PRESSURED from everyone i know (family including) to get my RN even though it is something I do not truly want even though i am told i NEED to get it. sorry for the rant, just confused about what i really want. FYI i am in the 3rd semester of the ADN program and i finished transition with A's / B's. I know i am capable of becoming a RN but honestly I do not want it. please help. so depressed

This a day in the life of a Lpn But that truly depends on where u work I love the residents at the LTC I work at but everything else is terrible We have a charge lpn that is as lazy and good for nothing as pie Suppose to do the first three admits of every day but never does We are understaffed I currently have 31 residents Alot of times with 3+ ivs goin on Draw blood if its not lab day Do all mds snf notes All body audits All orders All filing in the charts And give meds / treatments (nonwoundcare) Our ward clerk doesn't file anything We have been running more like an LTAC since administration loves $$ so gets ppl that are bad off Hospice patients Snf patients Psych partients Point is staff lpns are overworked

Don't over think the questions Usually your gut feeling is right
