I'm currently a LPN student, I just finished/passed my first semester in June and will be starting my second semester in the fall, but I'm really torn as to if I should continue on the LPN journey or switch schools to go to school to be a RN instead? I've been asking some of my co-workers that are LPN's and RN'S about which route to take and some has told me to go for LPN because it will be a good foundation for me going into RN school and some has told me to just go straight for RN if that's what I ultimately want to do. Being in nursing school for the first semester I have learned that LPN's can pretty much do all of the things RN'S can do, except for stuff like hanging blood etc....I'm asking for your wisdom and advice on which is the better route to take, that will be worth it for sure in the long run. I can tell you guys that my LPN program is a full time Mon-Fri program that doesn't really give me any flexibility to work and make money while I'm in school, where on the other hand I know that an RN program will allow me to work at least part time because I can set my own school schedule. I also have 2 children that I have to try to juggle in the midst of everything else too. So my question is should I continue on my LPN journey, or just go for the jugular and go straight for my RN?
