I am considering a career change to nursing. I'm thinking of entering into the LPN program because once I'm accepted I only have to be out of work for one year, as opposed to two. After I get my LPN licensure I am going to bridge to RN.
My question is why is it that no matter how many years of experience you have LPNs only make 40k a year? Why do LTC facilities pay so low? Can you do home care nursing as an LPN?
