|  Re: Who did the LPN to RN route? Hi all I too did the LPN to RN route, before LPN I was a Pt Care Tech (Like a CNA except we performed phlebotomy, EKG's and foley insertion/removal). I have to say that the best nurses clinically that I have ever encountered were Diploma nurses and LPN bridge nurses. The clinical experiences gained far surpass todays BSN programs. This is applicable only to the state of Missouri which is where I reside and work. I was frustrated by limitation and perceptions (not to mention low pay) regarding LPN's a lot of the time while an LPN, however I think the overall experience makes me a better nurse today |

__________________ Marie, RN in O.R, pursuing BSN, semester ? of ? Supposedly 8 out of 10 people suffer from hemorrhoids. Does that mean that the other 2 people enjoy them???  I am convinced that certain college courses were invented to drive me to insanity. Luckily, it would be a short trip. |

 | Re: LPN before RN Quote:
I knew I always wanted to be a nurse, but I was still a little too immature for RN programs right out of high school. I ended up getting my LPN first, then I got some great experiences in hospitals around here. It helped to do it for agency work while I was in school too! Then I graduated 5 years ago - and I think it is the best thing I have ever done. I have even MORE job options open to me now. The pay is much better than that of an LPN too. My life all around has just gotten much better since I got my degree. I only went as far as an ADN, but now I am considering taking a few courses here and there towards a BSN, and then who knows from there! Good luck to you. Incidentally, my 'old' license plate used to be "LPN 2 RN" | |

| I, too, have gone from nursing assistant to LPN to RN. I appreciate the experiences I have gain in the "steps" I have taken to get where I am today.
