I was an Lpn for 18 years. Been an RN for 3 years. Trust me when I say opportunity is there for both. BUT you will do the same work as an RN but make on average $1500(+) less a month being an LPN. That's with a 36hr week average. I encourage everyone if they have to finish quick and make money to get their LPN. But then go back for their RN unless they have entrepreneurial ventures planned

For a long time I didn’t have any desire to do LPN/LVN either; I wasn’t even really familiar with what it was 😅. But I’m in California and the competition for RN programs here is insane. I completed all the prerequisites with a 3.9 GPA and 89.3 on the TEAS, and still didn’t get accepted to all 5 RN programs I applied to. So I ended up becoming a CNA and I’m currently an LVN student.

Thank you so much for your honesty in this video. It is not easy to come on camera and admit why you decided to become a LPN. I have no idea who you are and this is the first time I have watched your video but I am very proud of you simply because you did not give up and you accomplished your goal. I have been a LPN since 2008. Please, Please do not fall into the belief that you are not a nurse because you are not a RN this is not true. You are a nurse and you can go as far as you want to as a LPN there are lots of added LPN certificate programs that you can add to your name this can help you to increase nursing knowledge. There are lots of opportunities as a LPN. Congrats on being a nurse. Enjoyed the video.

Yes 🙌🏾 mam…. I totally agree with u. I hate when nurses ask me why you doing LPN first why don’t you go for your RN cause LPNs don’t get as much respect.….. it’s just sooo AGGIEE and disrespectful. There will always be a need for LPNs PERIODt!! Stop playing with me nah sayers

Thank you for your honesty✨

I needed to see this video. I was debating on LPN Vs. RN. I’m doing my prerequisites now.

Thank you so much fir this video. I am working on my prerequisites right now at Athens Technical College. I’m taking AP1 this Spring , take the TEAS and plan to apply to the LPN evening program for the FALL.

Awesome inspirational video. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

You was preaching at the end... WAIT A MIN!¡! 🏃🏽‍♂️ 🙌🏽😭

So grateful I came across your channel… currently taking the same route. Been a Medical Assistant for 3 years and just got accepted into Nursing School I start in December. Thanks so much for your inspiration 💕💕

New here👋🏼great information!!! In the LPN program can’t wait to graduate 12 months program!!!!

I think I would love being an lpn🤗❤🙏🏼. I will start there 🙂🙏🏼. I love this. I love how you find satisfaction in what you do most people aren't satisfied with where they are and nothing may not be wrong with that however I'm glad how fulfilling and satisfied you are with what you do and your re taking it one day at a time🙏🏼

Thank you for posting this video it was very informative and helpful.

I honestly understand I’m in the process of thinking about doing Lpn instead of Rn thanks for the feedback

I love your honesty❤ and im so proud of you baby you did it❤️

I REALLY appreciate this video.

Great choice you have to do what best for you! It’s crazy how people just feel that RN is the be all… I too have a BS in HCA & looking into doing an LPN program. It’s the best decision I made to do admin side first follow up with nursing! The burnout is real and with you having that as an option it will break it up from clinical to nonclinical. I say go for it !!💯💯💯💯🦋💯

Happy to come Accross your program. This is so motivating. Please I will like to know which LPN program you went to in GA that offers evening sessions. I will be most grateful to have the information as that would fit in well with my schedule as well. Thank you

Great video thanks for sharing

Great video...I am in Atlanta and I am entering the LPN program Spring of 2023. I am very excited. Very encouraging video. Thank you!!!

OMG! Your story is so inspiring! I wish that I could pick your brain.

Great video I always have people tell me why are u choosing lpn at 18 because the prerequisites take a whole year I could have been a lpn after that year of prerequisites and then having to be wat more in debt

I'm an accountant, been doing it for 2 years. I just came up with the thought of going for LPN school. When I first started college I went to a private school for Physical Therapy Assistance but I couldnt keep up with the pace (went faster than a 2 year program) so I was intimidated by health careers because of the science and math reqs. I looked at the LPN reqs vs RN reqs and was like uhm .. Yeah no I'm try LPN first THEN maybe RN lol. I was like woah! Definitely a difference in the classes. I'm happy that you were able to find a way to achieve your dream of being a Nurse!!! How's it going? Congratulations on your new career😊 Do you miss Medical Assisting?

PLEASE DONT GIVE UP ON BIENG AN RN. IF GOD PLACED IT IN YOUR HEART.ITS YOUR DREAM… KEEP GOING TO, BEAUTIFUL, . METOO! 👍🏻☮️☯️♍️🧡🙏🏻

Thanks for the video. I needed this. I completed all my prerequisites, but it m considering the LPN program then later bridge to and BSN program. What LPN program in Georgia did you attend? I also live in Georgia.

Hey Mrs.Mia how are you doing today. I have a question what Do a L.P.N. have to Do.

Congratulations

🥰💯🥰

I am Georgia and just got into Nursing school. What is the pay for LPNs?

Passing nclex test is easy when you study hard ,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies then I advise you to get yourself help from mrs Olivia

Hey girl!!!! I took all the prerequisites and passed all of them. Science classes suck when you have sucky professors….. lol

The title is quite misleading. You didn’t just choose LPN over RN. You gave up on becoming an RN.
