LPN's to RN

By Pamela Buck posted 06-20-2013 12:31 PM

  
I looked into going to school for my RN and could not find what I wanted. As I too have to work full time to support my family. I to would have to take several courses over as I have had my LPN since 1982. I think it is ridiculous that we have to get our RN after so many years. We are just as capable as the RN's to sign the assessments and know what we are doing as alot of RN's will come to us for advice when they don't know how to do something. We all have knowledge!!  Thank You for letting me vent. Pamela Buck LPN RAC-CT

I agree it isn't right!! I used the excelsior college program to obtain my AS-nursing degree for my RN. It worked great with my family and full time work. I was able to obtain scholarships and grants, and only had to pay for aportion of it out of pocket. Best wishes in whatever you decide to do!
