Very new LPN nursing student here :)

Hello everyone:)

Making my introduction very brief. I went to Bryant and Stratton College for the first semester of nursing. They require the TEAS test to get into the RN program. I had a 4.0 the entire semester and tutoring for the TEAS. I couldn't pass it both times. If any of you had to take that test you know what I mean about how crazy it is.

After first semester, if you don't pass the teas, the school downgrades you to Medical assisting program. I was going to do that, but it's just not in my heart.

So I have transferred to Hondros School of Nursing. Fully accredited school, no prereqs, clinicals start 6th week into the program. I am very excited about it. I just found this app and downloaded it on my phone. Could any LPN's tell me what is a starting salary in the emergency room for LPNs? I will get my RN after the accelerated LPN program but I want to start working and then go right back for my RN (same school). Also I hear hospitals are phasing out LPN's that's why I would love to start working as an LPN but I want my employer to know I'm going to finish studying as an RN.

Sorry this is my first post and a little scattered all over the place, but any input will be so much appreciated.

Thank you

Alina

Thank you guys so much for your support and help. I will write responses to everyone when I get on my laptop. I really appreciate your input and help.

I live in Pa near Philadelphia and.some hospitals such as Temple and Einstein still have Lpn's working in their ER while the others phased them out. I would be careful working as an Lpn in a hospital because you never know what they might do. Also they make between $26-$30/hr.

There is nothing wrong with starting out as an Lpn, ive heard many Rn's who were formal Lpns say that it was an easier route for them. Im taking the lpn route because I failed the teas v test by 1 point and the other school had a waiting list. I already have all of my prereqs for a bsn program so I plan on finishing my lpn program and doing my rn online. Good luck hun
