Should I become an LPN or RN?

Published

Hi,

I am looking into either becoming a LPN or an RN. I know everyone says to become an RN, however is LPN really that terrible?

I am already in school for Social Work and I am not happy with it and I have always wanted to become a nurse. I don't want to be in school for another 4 years, so from the LPN's.

Do you love your work? Do you find the pay alright for a modest lifestyle? Have there been many job opportunities?

Are you an RN or an LPN? What do you mean that it depends on what you expectations are? I am planning to go into Hospice or Long Term Care... so I know that is a great environment for LPNs.

I do live in AB but plan to move to BC... pay seems okay. Since the Nursing program is a competitive in my city, LPN is a back up plan for me. So I just want to be sure that I could actually live off what I make.

Moving to BC is basically a career suicide.

I suggest you start reading in the Canadian forum to get an idea of nursing in Canada.
