I wanted more information as well. I have do a phone interview and am very interested in the school.

There are plenty of job postings that says that an LPN can apply to become an ADON in LTC. I know not in hospital settings L.P.N s aren't eligible.

Hello fellow nurses: I feel at a crossroads with my career. As an LPN, I have worked in mental health, drug rehab, and LTC. I want to experience the business side of nursing. I don't necessarily want to get my R.N but I do want to get my MBA in Healthcare Administration or Masters of Science in Healthcare Administration. I would love to be a clinical manager, ADON, or any level dealing with the business side or healthcare. I see some of these positions require an RN. Have you heard of any individuals that have advanced without receiving their R.N? What are your viewpoints on my transition? Thanks for any replies :)

I agree. Nursing school camaraderie is a myth that starts at orientation, and ends at graduation. In LPN school, attending was like a soap opera. Friendships broken, alliances formed, all for the top seat in nursing class. I applaud different approaches to learning and am happy they have this program.

This is a great post. This post helped me to learn about myself and other Millennials. I understand why my mother and I both clash in communication about work and work ethic. Great post.
