Hello!
I am on the fence about getting my RN. I am exposed to working a lot more RNs working at the hospital where most units require you to have a RN and at least one year of experience. I have had the opportunity to talk to them about the RN program and they told me that as long as my fundamentals credit carry over. it should be one more year and a lot of writing. I work on a critical care floor now and they require nurses to be RNs, but I know the medical and surgical floors hire LPNs with experience. My manager will work with me when I get my LPN to keep me on the floor. I always wanted to be a Director of an Assisted Nursing facility and you can do that as a LPN. There will be endless possibilities for us!
