RN, sometimes rather work as an LPN

Hello,

I'm a pretty new RN, for about 6 months now. However, I was an LPN for 4 years, both of my licenses are active. I currently work full-time in a NICU which I love but I'm looking for a PRN job. When looking at big long-term care companies that are recruiting both LPNs and RNs, I'm always inclined to apply as an LPN because I think it would be less stressful and less responsibility. Is this true? Does anyone else feel this way? Please give me any advice you may have.

Thank you

    You are always held to the scope and standards of your highest license.

    I don't think working in LTC as an LPN would be any less stressful than if you were working as an RN tbh. Just different responsibilities. I guess it would also depend if you're working as the charge nurse, but I've seen LPN's in LTC working as charge.

    Overall, LTC is going to be stressful whether you're an RN or an LPN.
