I am attending school for Practical Nursing from July of 2008 until July of 2009. I plan on becoming an RN in the future, I just wanted to start out as an LPN to gain experience and because it would get me out into the work force quicker(due to course length obviously). After reading some of the answers to other LPN questions, it seems like a lot of people think becoming an LPN first is a waste of time. I even read a comment that said what you learn as an LPN is useless when you become an RN and you will have to basically learn your basic skills all over again. What are your opinions on this? I only want people to respond that would actually have an educated answer, not someone that is going to tell me to go right into an RN program due to them making more money and being able to do a lot more, as I am aware of those differences. Plus, I am not in a situation where I can devote at least 2 years to school right now.
