It depends on the options available where you live, and how the bridge program at the school in question works. I started out as an LPN. The program director promised me I could go straight to the 2nd year of the RN program if there was a seat, and I maintained a B average. She lied to me--I had a B average, and there were plenty of open seats in the RN class. But she didn't believe young women in their early 20s had the emotional maturity to be nurses, and told me so. She thought I should "wait a year, and get some experience". I told her "see ya!" and transferred to another school. However, because my LPN did not have a psych rotation, I had to make it up before I could be admitted to the program I eventually got my RN through. It prolonged my education by about 2 years as a result. For some people, going through a PN program allows them to start working sooner, and the rise in pay from what they made as CNAs justifies the baby steps. For others, becoming an LPN allows them to better see if nursing is really for them. And for others, the LPN program is the only one they can get a seat in (like me). You do what ya gotta do.

Hello,

Do anyone know about the travel jobs for LPN/LVN's? Also, is it wise to get the acls certification as a LPN?
