    How to become a lpn

    I am an RN. I went to a community college and had my LPN in one year, then RN at two years. It really takes at least 3 1/2 years as you need numerous foundational courses. You can attend a community college which will most likely offer a two year ADN (Associates Degree in Nursing) or university program which will offer a BSN (Bachelors Degree in Nursing). Either will serve you well. If your aspiration is to be just an LPN, then certainly look at a community college offerring a two year program. If you are going to do it, however, you should consider going for an RN. The compensation is double and the responsibilities and knowledge are empowering.

    Im not sure but do what this girl is saying and go for an RN. I am in particular a BSN student working on my bachelor's in nursing at UCLA, and it is most rewarding so don't just settle for an lpn or 2 year RN, you should try to get a BSN or higher if you really want a lot of options and great compensation. But hey, that is just my advice.
