Im an LPN in KY. I have worked the ED for 8 yrs. I am ACLS and PALS certified also TNCC which is very tough. People dont understand the extent of our education. There isnt much difference between the titles except for the pay. I have a daughter whom just graduated from RN school...I helped her often with her studies. The RN program didnt teach the depth as did the LPN program. I also know she had very little clinicals and lacks in skills. I have thought many times about furthering my education, but as you found .... it is all about the $$$, not the education or the program would provide more teaching that has to do with your major instead of tuition money for English and History classes. I dont think those help much when it comes to a code, RSI, head trauma, chest tubes and the list goes on. I am also proud to be a LPN and if i had it to do over would choose the LPN program again.
