Reasons to become an LVN / LPN 😷 LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE | LICENSED VOCATIONAL NURSE worth it?

[@francisfree5242]

I started at the nursing home at 22hr as a new grad in California that was way too low. I worked there for 2 months before landing my case management job making 27.72hr starting with raised and with Benefits paid employer health insurance, sick time, pto, personal days and Employer paid dental insurance. After 2 years I’m making 30.43hr fulltime with benefits. I love it, I now work remotely From home since covid

30.45hr

[@Silver_paw101]

@@francisfree5242 And being an LPN was enough for you to land a job as a case manager? I thought one would have to have a BSN or bachelor degree in human services etc. to work in case management, would you please clarify that for me? Thank you.

[@francisfree5242]

@Olena Ivanitska yes it was enough. I was a new grad too. It all comes down to how well you interview

[@Silver_paw101]

@@francisfree5242 Thank you! This again shows how nursing can open up other opportunities for one. I appreciate your reply .

[@Redd91ful]

bruh 22 is low. I wish that was a start for Louisiana workers. We start at $19🤦‍♀️

[@jamesettahaynie4952]

I have all my prerequisites for the BSN, but like you I am a mother and I work full time. I plan on doing my LPN work and then bridge to the BSN.

[@XxBreath4MusicxX]

I'm looking to start lpn to BSN. But working full-time with it will be hard, how has it been for you? Just curious😊

[@lalarey89]

Thank you for sharing! So relatable. I am too, an LVN for a while now in a big known clinic in the Bay Area in the Derm Dept. Having an experience under your belt helps. I am making a decent money working part time of $5k gross a month, can’t complain. I am eventually will be an RN, but I am taking my time. Good luck everyone!

[@lookingout5670]

5k part time? That’s great

[@crazycindy7345]

Do you think its still worth becoming a nurse?, many people have been scarring me with how i hear many negative on nurses 🥺

[@gunchief0811]

man oh man! I can hardly wait to get started so I can start this career! I know the school is tough but I WANNA DO IT! so let's GO!

[@tamarajones6811]

This is a great video right now I’m in a medical assistant program and I graduate in 2 months and once I graduate I plan on going back to school for the LVN program ....my ultimate goal is to become an RN but right now I’m taking baby steps ...and I stay in California to BTW

[@Anajashadai222]

Same I’m a medical assistant as well I wanna get my Rn. Someone was telling me about lpn programs which I brushed off but am now reconsidering. I think it would be good experience to have home health on my resume before getting my Adn degree.

[@aaliyahronyae2970]

Same situation as me. I graduate in June and I plan on going to a LPN program. Being a RN would be great but I just don't wanna do another 4 years of school. Basically high school all over again.

[@wandaaiken602]

Today must be a special day. I have been confused for weeks because I have taken the Teas exam twice and failed. My advisor suggested that I sign up for the lpn program but because I want to be an RN I have been a blank canvas, that is until I saw your video on KZbin. You have opened my eyes to continue my quest of being a nurse. Thank you so much. I listened to every detail and explanations you put out there and all hit valid key points that I didn't pay attention to.

[@hannahmassey3455]

Loved this! Just got accepted into a school! Going for my LPN license ♥️ thank you for making this!!

You're so welcome and congrats!!! You'll be done in no time!

[@merlinel3855]

How is it going so far?

[@michaelagodfrey475]

This is the route I’m taking. I start the LVN program in March however I’m already almost done with my RN pre reqs. I’ve got 3 more classes to go for the RN pre reqs

[@heyjustine8199]

It’s a great start! Good luck! ❤️

[@merlinel3855]

I’m in the same predicament. I don’t know if I should become a RN or a LPN.

[@michaelagodfrey475]

@@merlinel3855 My ultimate goal is to become an RN because it’s just one more semester then LVN

[@ateeb77able]

girl thats my issue! I dont know what to do..so i plan on just letting it flow. lpn is 12 months and rn is 2 years

[@CM-gg1hl]

Right now I'm taking my pre recs for the LVN program and I'm so nervous and excited. Sometimes I get upset because I wanna jump into learning about nursing already but everyone starts somewhere! Thanks for the info it motivated me even more!!!

[@heyjustine8199]

Omg! That’s exciting! I’m so glad I could motivate you more! Stick with it! It will be worth it! 👍🏽📚

I liked this a lot, very informative even as a RN

[@heyjustine8199]

Thank you!

[@shedesignedherlife3695]

Love this! Thanks so much for sharing all the insight, I am an interior designer by trade now going into the medical field (thanks to covid). Currently finishing up school for Medical Assisting (wanted to get exposure before paying almost 40,000 for LVN program and to make sure the medical field was a good fit). Next stop LVN program!!! I understand the demand when you have kids, I have three boys lol.

[@maiahtarinhughes1748]

I just got accepted into LPN school today. I have a couple of more classes to take for the RN but since I have a son now, LPN program is better for me right now and my situation. Thank you for the video it's very helpful

[@MakeupNursing]

Same thing happened to me. Main goal was RN program and then they added more prerequisites. I switched schools and I had the necessary prerequisites for the LPN program the good thing is that in the same school I can complete a one year RN bridge program. Everything happens for a reason. I’m happy with my decision.

[@XxBreath4MusicxX]

New here looking to switch careers from hospitality to maybe being a nurse because I love helping people and trying to understand what to expect with nursing has been difficult and not as straight forward. But your video gave me the info I needed and in depth so THANK YOU😊

[@heyjustine8199]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@rosaaguilera2957]

Very informative, I am also a mom of 3 and looking into LVN program. I hope to start next year. 🤞🏻

[@LauraValverde.]

Hi! I've heard of LVN or LPN being another great option for the same reasons you just listed. Like you said, both programs, including an RN are stressful! Thanks for sharing!

[@heyjustine8199]

Yes, LVN route is a great way to get a nursing career started. I’m really glad I chose to do the program and not wait around for an RN program which would have taken longer. Although it is still the goal! 😊

[@Buaastroctyes]

I’m in school for lvn! Will be done next year! I love it and honestly I will go back for RN once I’m done with lvn. LVN school is stressful as much as RN. :)

[@ChristopherInTexas]

New grad hired straight into the hospital ICU. With a commute of 15-20 minutes It truly dpeends on the state and connection. Much Respect to the LTC/SNF Nursing staff. IT's very hard work and y'all deserve more respect!

So thanks ALOT. G.i. bill will cover the cost of the course so I'm not concerned about the Tuition. And thank u a million times for these videos.

Hello. Did you take the HESI Exit at the end of your course?

[@Silver_paw101]

Thank you so much for sharing, it was very informative! May I ask you a question? If I'm someone who is afraid of blood and needles, do you think this can really be a good reason not to go into nursing? Any advice on how to overcome this? Thank you!

[@heyjustine8199]

There's many areas of nursing where you can stay away from blood and needles. You are likely to come in contact some times, and during school, but honestly when I worked in LTC I didn't see much blood; only when I checked blood glucose levels, which is very small amount.

[@eyeswideopen4680]

I’ve been an LPN for 10 years and I am currently in second semester RN program. Do you think that it will be a little easier for me to get an RN job since I’m an LPN? Or will they still view me as a brand new nurse after RN school?

[@merlinel3855]

I would assume that since you have experience, especially 10 years, they’re gonna want you more than those who have less, or no prior experience.

[@rebornsweetie5949]

My daughter did not get 16 on act test for LPN. What advice do you have?

[@heyjustine8199]

I would recommend a strict study schedule and breaking her study sessions down into specific topics. Also, most of those tests allow you to see where you were lacking so she should study those topics especially.
