An LPN. There are simply more places where she will be needed, and therefore more opportunities to find a niche that is satisfying.

An LPN can work in a Dr. office, a hospital, a clinic, as a school nurse and a varied demand is there for them in many areas they are very highly demanded. The Therapist Assistant would be at a PT facility, a hospital, sports medicine and maybe even at school athletics departments. So, the question is what do you enjoy best? With the LPN your functions may vary a lot from one place to another. As a therapist you would probably be doing the same thing most of the time...varied as far as injuries but the same basic things. A nurse may be with children or adults in a Dr. office or in a hospital or a clinic...so the question is what you would love doing the most...that is what will make you happy and in the long run, that makes the better job. Being happy at what you do. Good luck.

LPN, but it depends on where you live really. You should look on a job site like Monster and search it for job openings and see which one has more. Where I live PT Assistant would definitely be better whereas LPNs aren't really needed.

I depends on your area.You would most likely get hired faster looking for a LPN position although I do not know the demand of physical therapists in your area. Sorry I couldn't help you any more than that.

It depends on where you are. Where we are the LPN's have a lot more opportunities. There are a lot of LPNs retiring and the administration is crying for replacements.

Between the two I would have to say LPN definatly will have an easier time finding a good job. Although I would seriously advise you to take the extra time to get the RN, you'll easily make twice as much money and have more respect from your coworkers.

LPN But, the jobs are very different. Make sure that you are a fit for the job that you decide to do. That will make all the difference.
