Who plans to Remain a LPN?

Published

I'm an LPN trying to decide if I want to remain an LPN or go on to get my ADN. I was just wondering how many here on Allnurses plan to remain a LPN the rest of your career. Why did you make this decision? For those of you who are nearing the end of your career, why did you decide not to go onto school for your RN and do you regret your decision?

Also are you happy with your job?

I am nearing retirement, so of course I don't plan on going back to school.

I graduated LPN school in 1974, and the years just ran into each other, situations in my life changed, and before I knew it, here I am, 52 years old, a grandmother of 2, divorced, still an LPN, but I don't regret it at all. However, I am ready to get out of nursing. My job is getting harder by the day, and I get so discouraged. We work short all the time, and I can't get everything done like I want to. I do the best I can, but working with 2 nurses when we should have 3 is getting old. I'm just tired of it.

Soon as I get in my 28 I'm getting out of nursing.
