They most definitely will.You know what’s best for you and becoming an Lpn is not the end of the road,it’s a stepping stone.Im sure you will get to where you want to be in your nursing career in the right time.Best of luck on your journey and have a great day !
@@deeurdaneta608 not bad I've been working as lpn for almost 6months now, making $28 /Hr .I love it I am continuing with my prereqs to get in the RN/BSN program by next year.
Hey, I live in az too I need an Lpn school to go to, but most of the school are waiting list. Please test me and help me find a school. And give me some info.
Also where I live lpns work in hospitals, skilled facilities, doctor's offices, CPR centers, home care, and they are able to teach stna courses under the direction of a RN.. you can also get a specialty through certification. There are great opportunities for LPNs. I'll add though RNs do make a few dollars more (*Starting off together*).. why not go back for your rn if it means more education and money? I do know seasoned LPNs who make more money than their RN counterparts but do the exact same thing. This nursing world is crazy. Whatever route you go it's all good. LPNs make good money and so does RNs they do the same freaking things in ohio the only thing lpns can't do is teach rns and blood transfusions. In one skilled facility we have a lpn who is a standing DON and there are also LPNs who are unit managers at a skilled facility at my job..🤷🏾♀️
HI I'm so excited for you to start posting regularly again! I would love it if you could do a video on the diffrent nursing specialties and how to get the certifications needed for each area of specialty. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your comment.I know I’ve been a little inconsistent lately but I’m going through some things and am finishing up my last semester so my head is really in the game and I’m avoiding any distractions.I will be done soon and will start posting again.Once again thank you for your suggestion and I’ll be sure to keep it in mind 😊
Things are different in Canada. Here in the United States there is no RN that will assess an LVN patient and help them decide on the proper care for their patient. RNs do the initial assessment in hospital settings and that’s it the LVNs are on their own. We are treated as equal. The Rn is too busy with their own patients to babysit another nurse.
That’s what I said,if an Lpn see’s something that if unusual,The RN will make the initial assessment then the Lpn will continue to implement what ever the RN decides they should do.The Lpn’s will not make the initial assessment.
Nursing With Key when I use the term initial I’m speaking of the new admission initial head to toe assessment. Not a change in condition assessment. I guess it’s different here in the states. We do our own assessments outside of the Initial head to toe assessment. Thanks for your response.
I live in California and I am considering doing an LVN program. My end goal is to be an RN one day, but due to my situation I can only go for my LVN. What video is it where you explain the hospital setting & long term care difference? Great video btw!
Thank you so much for your comment.Congratations on your decision,like I said in the video, there is absolutely nothing wrong with baby steps.I just posted the video while in class and didn’t get time to add the links.Its the 5th video on my channel and the title is “what Cna’s do in the hospital”
I appreciate your videos so much. I am heavily considering becoming a patient care technician (nursing assistant) at a local hospital by me because they pay for you to learn the CNA position and then they hire you and will also pay for your nursing school. I’m not sure if nursing is for me just yet but I’m hoping this will be a way that I can figure that out. I absolutely love watching your videos on the topic! Keep making them please.
Thank you so much for your comment and support,you don’t understand how much it means to me.If you want my opinion on your decision,I would say take the baby steps if you’re unsure about whether or not you want to be a nurse especially if it’s free.Get your feet in the door,get a feel of the field and take it from there. Best of luck !
I just subscribe to your channel your journey so far is similar to mine, but I have yet to start a LPN program. I’m trying to figure out what program and where. Im currently a CNA at a large hospital so I’ve been able to see that I really love nursing.
LVNs in California are critical to provide competent home health care to children and adults with development disabilities. Some make $44.12 hour working with special needs patients.
Lmao this is NOT how it works at my job. There is hardly a damn RN in the building so who's going to assess who? I assess, talk to the DR., recommend, and put the plan into action. ...and if I skip any of these steps I get wrote up😭 I need to go where they baby LPNs like this cause in ohio we do it ALL! Me for 4 years now.🥳
I plan to start LPN school this fall I’m in Ohio as well and I’m very scared but excited. Many have stressed that LPNs carry a lot of weight in Ohio compared to other states.
Thanks for video. I am going to get into an Lpn program hopefully this summer and see how I like nursing vs Ems. Have been in Ems as of recent but like the hospital environment
Hey love thanks for the video it was really helpful but in the US in the DMV area depending on where you work as a LPN you can preform IV therapy. They are also still hiring LPN's in the hospital as well
Dc Diva yea it all depends on where you live. In Canada we do iv therapy and work in hospitals too but in a lot of places , LPNs seem to be a bit more limited
Port Huron/Croswell Michigan here! :) I am studying for my hesi and finishing up my last few prerequisites. LPNS probably dont specialize right? I wanted to become an LPN to gain experience in medsurg or peds. Im already a CNA and loved that, although I only worked in nursing homes, not hospitals.
If you want to work in medsurge or peds you can definitely apply for Lpn positions in those areas if that is where you want to spend your nursing career.I don’t see why not .
hello!! i have a few questions before deciding to do this!! whats the salary? money gained per hour? how many years of school do you need to get into this? where do lpns work at? i heard alot of people say they dont work at hospitals most of the time and work at orher areas!
@@kiearacelina Yes you are correct , we cannot infuse anything that isn't over 30 minutes . So , mainly fluids and antibiotics . I am going for RN after gaining some experience as an LPN. I feel like LPN school was extremely hard , the hardest thing I've ever had to do . I have so much respect for the nursing profession and I graduate this Wednesday. So excited !!!
Hello, great video. I have a question. I am interested in nursing but don’t know if I should be an LPN or RN. I don’t want to work in a hospital. I want to work in a Primary care doctors office, mental health clinic, oral surgery, etc. I really don’t want to work in long-term care either. Which route should I take?
Muriel Perez thank you for your comment.Honestly, you could work in all those places whether you’re an lpn on rn it all depends on you.Rn’s have more work options than Lpn’s but you can work at a clinic whether you’re an lpn or rn so the decision is yours.
Nursing With Key Thank you, if it’s based on affordability, I rather just take the LPN route. It seems like an easier program to afford and quicker to get out. One question I have is pertaining to the Prerequisites. Do you have to complete any prior to getting accepted to the LPN program? Is there any Math you need? I hate algebra. I believe the ADN program requires college algebra. I want to stay away from programs that require too much math.
Muriel Perez my program requires for me to have advanced math and do an entry exam however,that depends on where you live and the school so my advice to you is to reach out to the schools around you and inform yourself on what their requirements are.If I were you,I would do the pre reqs anyway,a lot of people fall in love with nursing when they do the lpn program and decide to go further afterwards,at least it’ll already be done.
Please help and thank you. If i am looking to working from home as a nurse, with no intent to work Bedside or in the hospital settings. Even tho I may have more doors open with the RN credentials. I just don't want to waste time and study too hard for it because I am not a good test taker and I have anxieties and dont want to overload on something if I am not going to use it fully. But if I would have more opportunity as an RN to get a remote job that would be different. I am signed up to start as an LPN next month, but If i choose RN, I would need to transfer schools and enroll before 7/31/20 (few weeks). Please help I am at a lost
Hi! I’ve been debating whether to start as a CNA or LPN. A CNA is only 1 month, but can you into the healthcare field quickly. While, as a LPN it’s 1 year. Thoughts???
I'm a CCMA starting LPN (2yr P/T Program) in May 2021 allowing me to still work w/family, etc instead of 1yr F/T Program. Then my BSN & NP .. But for now I'm reviewing my books (ordered early) for May so I'm mentally prepared for my classes, Theories & Clinical...
Awesome! Everyone’s path is different. As long as you’re happy and as long as you get to the finish line, that’s all that matters. Thanks for sharing sis and good luck on your journey 💕
I'm definitely becoming an LPN because it seems to me Like if the patients ends up dead Than that falls On the Rn because sis I was following instructions & imma mom so ion need that & what do you mean school TWICE ?
That’s not really true,if a patient ends up dead because of the kind of care he received,it will fall on both nurses who were taking care of that patient so if the family decides to do an autopsy to figure out what killed the patient and they find out that it was a medication error,they will go back in the charts to see who gave the medication and signed off on it and it will fall on whoever gave that medication whether it’s the Lpn or the rn that is why nurses document. Also when I say school twice,I mean that if you do the Lpn program before becoming an rn you will have to do the Lpn program then the rn program so that paying for school twice.
Quite informative. I am currently in the USA but planning to relocate to Canada and start up an LPN program. Which province will you say is the best for studying and working?
Yes, Covid has opened a lot more doors for LPNs. In Canada LPNs have always worked in hospitals but I know that LPNs have been limited to that in the USA depending on the state. Covid has definitely created a lot more room for LPNs to step foot into the hospitals because of the demand it has created 😊
@@kiearacelina I'm excited about that the hospital is where I wanna work when I Graduate and pass the NCLEX .. Thanks for ur videos. They help me stay focused and motivated. And informed.
Some people only see the area that they live in, it's a great big world out there, and in different parts of the world the acronym behind a Nurses' name is always different in different parts of the world: Ontario, Canada Rpn, RN.England(RGN, Registered General Nurse, Enrolled Nurse, in the Caribbean you have (RN,their training lasts three years, ENA, their training lasts two years, should any of these Nurses migrate to any of the afore mentioned what do you think will happen? People please do your research before you try commenting, your brain cells could get muddled and the go your judgement.Lol
Hi Nurse Kieara Your TH-cam channel is awesome! I am an internationally educated Nurse. Are there universities in Canada that offer RN to BSN programs for international nurses? Thanks for your response in anticipation. Stay safe.🤗
Oniyide Ebunoluwa hey 👋🏽 Yoruba i see 👀 haha I’m Yoruba too 😊 anyway, we do have RN to Bsn programs in Canada but not many schools offer them, I know that athabasca university offers it on campus and online so if you want you can check that school out. They have a good rep for online schooling so if you want, you can work as an RN where you are and do the rn to bsn online at the same time until you’re done then you can come here and work as an RN. In Canada you have to have a bachelors to practice as an RN except for my province but you have to speak French here 🤦🏽♀️ anyway check that’s school out. Just write Athabasca university Rn to bsn and you’ll find it 😊 I hope this helps 🙏🏽
Hello, informative video, but what did you mean by, if you go the LPN route, youd have to pay for classes twice and take the NCLEX twice?? Did you mean in Canada? Thanks.
If you want to go to LPN school first and then go back to become an RN, you will pay for the LPN program and the nclex PN and then you will pay for the RN program and Nclex RN
Hi! My name is Emily Johnson and I am currently a freshman in college. I am doing a research paper on the licensed practical nurse profession and I am conducting primary research through email interviews. My project is due Thursday and one of my participants just decided to drop out of the study. I know it is a long shot but I was wondering if you would be interested in answering just 12 quick questions on your day to day as an LPN! Please let me know if you are interested, I would very much appreciate it :)
Sure, I don’t see why not but just to let you know,I am still a student.I have 3 months left till I graduate but have been doing internships in hospitals for 6 months now so if that would affect your paper...
Not a problem, that is actually great because one of my focuses is education in the field. I would love to hear about your experiences while interning! I can email you the questions right now. In case you don't want to share your email on the public comments--my email is...
Hi, I have been watching your videos about being a LPN/RPN in Canada and truly appreciate you sharing your experience, would you mind me asking if all of the LPNs are unionized or is it just depending on the facility you work at?
LPNs are unionized. And some of facilities they share the same union as RNs but in other facilities LPNs and RNs have different unions either way they’re both unionized ☺️.
Hello this is Abul Bashar I have CNA & PCT license I live in USA at Brooklyn,NY I’m working now hospital,how can I get LPN license please can you give some advice? thank you
I can. You have a lot of experience that can boost your chances and that’s great you have health care experience. So about getting into a program should be no problem for you. You need prerequisites for admission into the LPN program.
My advice is to get a letter of recommendation from a nurse or someone you know in a healthcare setting on your application. And you already have experience in the healthcare setting.
If you want to become an Rn but you chose the lpn route first, you’ll have to go to Lpn school and write the nclex Pn then go to RN school and write the nclex Rn
Well you would have to pay for you lpn program then pay for your bridge program and possibly pay for you bsn program afterwards if you chose to go from adn/asn to bsn
Can men do course to be a LPN and will it be awkward or not? I mean to say there are least boys doing this course and it may be awkward reading a course being only a boy in the class
Amogh Adhikari it’s 2020, there is no profession out there specific to a gender. It’s up to you, do you want to be a nurse or not ? If you want to be a nurse, it shouldn’t matter how many boys are in the class. Go to school, do what you gotta do and graduate, you won’t be the only male nurse in the world
question if you are in Ontario, Canada and you got accepted to the Practical Nursing Program! would I have to ask them when I get there how to bridge to BSCN for Registered Nursing? thanks 🙏🏻 im worried about this because my vp wouldn’t let me upgrade my college courses to uni so I have to take the college-uni root
Yes I’m in Ontario. If you do the Rpn program, you’ll have to work for 1 year or get 1000 work hours I believe to be able to apply for the bridge. You’ll also have to complete your pre requisites you start. I hope this helps 🥰
Nursing is a on hands profession . Unless you already have some type of nursing degree you can bridge for example LPN-ADN or (BSN). I recommend looking at your near by community colleges.
You can work on a maternity unit in post parfum but I don’t think you can be in the delivery room as an lpn. It all depends on where you live though, you would have to check the scope of practice.
Amogh Adhikari your last semester is not what makes you a nurse, you become a licensed nurse after you write the board exam. It’s not an exam that you get from school, it’s a government exam you do with the state or province you’re in
If you feel like that’s what’s best for you then go for it. After two months of nursing school I was qualified to work as a CNA and worked as a CNA throughout my two years of LPN school. You can do it that way or you can just get your CNA license and work as a CNA before going into nursing school. It’s all up to you really, how are you get there doesn’t matter as long as you get there ☺️. Every route is acceptable.
Thanks for this video. I do not have a science background but I love to be a nurse. I'm a graduate of accounting from a uni in naija. I'm a mother of two. Advise me on which one to go for btw LPN and RN. Can I've your email address if you wouldn't mind?🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Naenae85 Thanks you so much and yes,there are a good amount of jobs for Lpn’s in Canada due to the fact that LPN’s have a little more responsibility here compared to the United States .
@@kiearacelina you made the right choice.i tried to get into an rn program but the waitlist along with pre reqs was 3 year wait.I went the lpn route which is quicker and we do the same thing as rn except in some places no iv.I think once we go rn itll be alot easier for us since we've experienced it.
No level of nursing is easy. All of them require focus, determination and HARD WORK. It doesn’t matter what level of nursing you choose, they are all challenging .
@@kiearacelina I forgot dear, it was something you said In the video... I wouldn't believe it was anything of negativity. Much love dear. Retaking my a& p 1 . Hope to ace it.
The pay all depends on where you work but Lpn’s get payed well at my work place because I’m working as a Cna while In school and they pay me 20 an hour as a Cna so imagine what Lpn’s make. Not the best in the world but pretty good.

Did you start LPN ?
this does not apply to LPNs in the US, Atlanta, GA. We push meds and do infusion. LPNs and CNA's always make the best RNs. So taking steps up are good.
I agree. I am currently a CNA in an LPN program, and I have seen some horrible (bad attitudes, lack of empathy and/or skill) and some fantastic nurses, both LPN and RN. The best ones, that seem to have a genuine calling for their field, were CNA's first. They inspired me to further my own career. Not to say that it can't be done straight out, but it seems so much more of a fit now, I love my job.
I agree.Alot of rns ate afraid or too lazy to do hands on work.The cna's and lpns jump rigjt in and freaking work.Rns like to sit on their blessed assurance and be on the computer or do papetwork all day.l've seen it again and again.In my area lpns can start iv's also.
Even in Canada, RPNs do IVs
So you would recommend being a nurse in Atlanta ?
I guess that depends on the state. LPNs in CO cannot do IVs unless they are trained additionally and checked off at that facility. Either way, we are a team and together we kick butt.
Did LPN in Mississippi and then RN and found doing LPN and working for a year made it so much more easy for ASN-RN and now did my BSN & MSN on net.

I'm currently doing my lvn prerequisites, I wasn't ready to jump into rn and wanted to do more than cna (although I plan on working as a cna while in school😍) but you're videos (and responses to my comments in the past) helped motivate me and made me believe I can do this. Glad you are back!
Congratations on your decision,I’m sure you’ll do great! Also thank you for your comment and your support,I really appreciate it and I am glad I can help 😊.Best of luck on your journey !
Hey what were the prerequisites you had to do to get into the program and how long are the classes for?
I live in Arizona mother of 2 little energetic boys most of my RN friends are pressuring me to go for the RN straight but i know i will do better if i do my lpn first and also i can afford it i can't have a loan now my goal is to have my BSN am starting my lpn classes in January 2019 i believe my baby steps will surely get me to my BSN
They most definitely will.You know what’s best for you and becoming an Lpn is not the end of the road,it’s a stepping stone.Im sure you will get to where you want to be in your nursing career in the right time.Best of luck on your journey and have a great day !
How is everything going now .?
Hello i know this comment was a year ago, I planning to take my LPN here in New York and move to arizona, how was being an LPN there.?
@@deeurdaneta608 not bad I've been working as lpn for almost 6months now, making $28 /Hr .I love it I am continuing with my prereqs to get in the RN/BSN program by next year.
Hey, I live in az too I need an Lpn school to go to, but most of the school are waiting list. Please test me and help me find a school. And give me some info.
Also where I live lpns work in hospitals, skilled facilities, doctor's offices, CPR centers, home care, and they are able to teach stna courses under the direction of a RN.. you can also get a specialty through certification. There are great opportunities for LPNs. I'll add though RNs do make a few dollars more (*Starting off together*).. why not go back for your rn if it means more education and money? I do know seasoned LPNs who make more money than their RN counterparts but do the exact same thing. This nursing world is crazy. Whatever route you go it's all good. LPNs make good money and so does RNs they do the same freaking things in ohio the only thing lpns can't do is teach rns and blood transfusions. In one skilled facility we have a lpn who is a standing DON and there are also LPNs who are unit managers at a skilled facility at my job..🤷🏾♀️
You gonna be a good nurse🙏🏽😘
Thank you ❤️
HI I'm so excited for you to start posting regularly again! I would love it if you could do a video on the diffrent nursing specialties and how to get the certifications needed for each area of specialty. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for your comment.I know I’ve been a little inconsistent lately but I’m going through some things and am finishing up my last semester so my head is really in the game and I’m avoiding any distractions.I will be done soon and will start posting again.Once again thank you for your suggestion and I’ll be sure to keep it in mind 😊

Didn’t you spend too much money for all those classes?

Things are different in Canada. Here in the United States there is no RN that will assess an LVN patient and help them decide on the proper care for their patient. RNs do the initial assessment in hospital settings and that’s it the LVNs are on their own. We are treated as equal. The Rn is too busy with their own patients to babysit another nurse.
That’s what I said,if an Lpn see’s something that if unusual,The RN will make the initial assessment then the Lpn will continue to implement what ever the RN decides they should do.The Lpn’s will not make the initial assessment.
Nursing With Key when I use the term initial I’m speaking of the new admission initial head to toe assessment. Not a change in condition assessment. I guess it’s different here in the states. We do our own assessments outside of the Initial head to toe assessment. Thanks for your response.
Would you please explain more
Hey just found your channel! I am also a nursing school vlogger! Keep up the great work!
I live in California and I am considering doing an LVN program. My end goal is to be an RN one day, but due to my situation I can only go for my LVN. What video is it where you explain the hospital setting & long term care difference? Great video btw!
Thank you so much for your comment.Congratations on your decision,like I said in the video, there is absolutely nothing wrong with baby steps.I just posted the video while in class and didn’t get time to add the links.Its the 5th video on my channel and the title is “what Cna’s do in the hospital”
@@kiearacelina Thank you!
rohsae I live in California too! And it seems like at least the city I am, options are very limited and the programs are impacted
I appreciate your videos so much. I am heavily considering becoming a patient care technician (nursing assistant) at a local hospital by me because they pay for you to learn the CNA position and then they hire you and will also pay for your nursing school. I’m not sure if nursing is for me just yet but I’m hoping this will be a way that I can figure that out. I absolutely love watching your videos on the topic! Keep making them please.
Thank you so much for your comment and support,you don’t understand how much it means to me.If you want my opinion on your decision,I would say take the baby steps if you’re unsure about whether or not you want to be a nurse especially if it’s free.Get your feet in the door,get a feel of the field and take it from there. Best of luck !
I just subscribe to your channel your journey so far is similar to mine, but I have yet to start a LPN program. I’m trying to figure out what program and where. Im currently a CNA at a large hospital so I’ve been able to see that I really love nursing.
Thank you for subscribing and good luck on your journey😊
LVNs in California are critical to provide competent home health care to children and adults with development disabilities. Some make $44.12 hour working with special needs patients.
Lmao this is NOT how it works at my job. There is hardly a damn RN in the building so who's going to assess who? I assess, talk to the DR., recommend, and put the plan into action. ...and if I skip any of these steps I get wrote up😭 I need to go where they baby LPNs like this cause in ohio we do it ALL! Me for 4 years now.🥳
I plan to start LPN school this fall I’m in Ohio as well and I’m very scared but excited. Many have stressed that LPNs carry a lot of weight in Ohio compared to other states.
Agreed! Same here in AZ, LPNs basically run the SNF’s. And it’s decent pay, you can easily make $70k and above
Thanks for video. I am going to get into an Lpn program hopefully this summer and see how I like nursing vs Ems. Have been in Ems as of recent but like the hospital environment
I already completed the school but I need to do a remedial to take my boards in order to continue to the next level
Hey love thanks for the video it was really helpful but in the US in the DMV area depending on where you work as a LPN you can preform IV therapy. They are also still hiring LPN's in the hospital as well
Dc Diva yea it all depends on where you live. In Canada we do iv therapy and work in hospitals too but in a lot of places , LPNs seem to be a bit more limited
Very informative video, thanks a lot 👍 🙏🏻
LPN is a good way to get into nursing. Work for a year and get your associates Rn degree. The best route.
Be an LPN and work at a nursing facility and do agency work I'm pretty sure you'll make "$100,000" a year or more, if you do agency work!
I actually only do agency now
@@kiearacelina good for you, you can enjoy your life and pick your own days that you want to work!

Port Huron/Croswell Michigan here! :) I am studying for my hesi and finishing up my last few prerequisites. LPNS probably dont specialize right? I wanted to become an LPN to gain experience in medsurg or peds. Im already a CNA and loved that, although I only worked in nursing homes, not hospitals.
If you want to work in medsurge or peds you can definitely apply for Lpn positions in those areas if that is where you want to spend your nursing career.I don’t see why not .
Hey cool, I’m from Michigan! I grew up in Holland and currently live in Wyoming, us is a few minutes away from Grand Rapids.
I just came back from Michigan on Saturday 😊
Awesome!!
Me watching this a day after i accepted the spot XD its gonna be awesome tho
hello!! i have a few questions before deciding to do this!!
whats the salary? money gained per hour?
how many years of school do you need to get into this?
where do lpns work at? i heard alot of people say they dont work at hospitals most of the time and work at orher areas!
An LPN is just as important as a RN we work under u as well as u work under a bs or ma or a Dr
I missed your videos best talks go to TED talks you can inspire A lot more people❤❤❤😊
we do IV therapy with some of our LPN programs in Missouri.
Yea but most likely iv fluids and not iv medication.
@@kiearacelina Yes you are correct , we cannot infuse anything that isn't over 30 minutes . So , mainly fluids and antibiotics . I am going for RN after gaining some experience as an LPN. I feel like LPN school was extremely hard , the hardest thing I've ever had to do . I have so much respect for the nursing profession and I graduate this Wednesday. So excited !!!
Awesome!!!! I’m really happy for you,congratulations and good luck on your rn journey 😊
@@kiearacelina I give iv medications
Hello, great video. I have a question. I am interested in nursing but don’t know if I should be an LPN or RN. I don’t want to work in a hospital. I want to work in a Primary care doctors office, mental health clinic, oral surgery, etc. I really don’t want to work in long-term care either. Which route should I take?
Muriel Perez thank you for your comment.Honestly, you could work in all those places whether you’re an lpn on rn it all depends on you.Rn’s have more work options than Lpn’s but you can work at a clinic whether you’re an lpn or rn so the decision is yours.
Nursing With Key Thank you, if it’s based on affordability, I rather just take the LPN route. It seems like an easier program to afford and quicker to get out. One question I have is pertaining to the Prerequisites. Do you have to complete any prior to getting accepted to the LPN program? Is there any Math you need? I hate algebra. I believe the ADN program requires college algebra. I want to stay away from programs that require too much math.
Muriel Perez my program requires for me to have advanced math and do an entry exam however,that depends on where you live and the school so my advice to you is to reach out to the schools around you and inform yourself on what their requirements are.If I were you,I would do the pre reqs anyway,a lot of people fall in love with nursing when they do the lpn program and decide to go further afterwards,at least it’ll already be done.
LPN. RN's work mostly in hospitals 12 hours a day.
kfountain73 people Nope,not necessarily.Not where I live anyway,nurses do 8 hour shifts but are offered a lot of overtime and most nurses take the OT.
You and @heyparis sound the same . Y’all both have the same voice lol. Are u from Canada? She’s from Canada too :)
Tomiwa Olaniyan Yes I am from Canada but she’s from Toronto,I’m from Montreal 😊
omg they do sound alike
I took a BLS/1ST AID course In College and we learned Head to toe Assessment from
The P/A who taught the course.
Please help and thank you. If i am looking to working from home as a nurse, with no intent to work Bedside or in the hospital settings. Even tho I may have more doors open with the RN credentials. I just don't want to waste time and study too hard for it because I am not a good test taker and I have anxieties and dont want to overload on something if I am not going to use it fully. But if I would have more opportunity as an RN to get a remote job that would be different. I am signed up to start as an LPN next month, but If i choose RN, I would need to transfer schools and enroll before 7/31/20 (few weeks). Please help I am at a lost
Hi! I’ve been debating whether to start as a CNA or LPN. A CNA is only 1 month, but can you into the healthcare field quickly. While, as a LPN it’s 1 year. Thoughts???
Both
Work your way up

@@kiearacelina Thank you! You sound like my brother, he said the exact same thing & one of my friends. Confirmation 😊❤️.
how is it working as a CNA in a hospital
I have a whole vlog about that,you should check it out 😊. It’s called a day in the life of a cna -hospital edition
what is a good accredited online lpn school please? anyone knows?
I'm definitely becoming an LPN because it seems to me Like if the patients ends up dead Than that falls On the Rn because sis I was following instructions & imma mom so ion need that & what do you mean school TWICE ?
That’s not really true,if a patient ends up dead because of the kind of care he received,it will fall on both nurses who were taking care of that patient so if the family decides to do an autopsy to figure out what killed the patient and they find out that it was a medication error,they will go back in the charts to see who gave the medication and signed off on it and it will fall on whoever gave that medication whether it’s the Lpn or the rn that is why nurses document. Also when I say school twice,I mean that if you do the Lpn program before becoming an rn you will have to do the Lpn program then the rn program so that paying for school twice.
@@kiearacelina UNDERSTOOD THANKS
No problem .
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@softlife45 what's funny?

Quite informative. I am currently in the USA but planning to relocate to Canada and start up an LPN program. Which province will you say is the best for studying and working?
Ontario for sure !
Ok,thanks.
Seems like here in California the hospitals have opened their Doors for LVN'S For Emergency department as well as other Nursing Jobs...
Yes, Covid has opened a lot more doors for LPNs. In Canada LPNs have always worked in hospitals but I know that LPNs have been limited to that in the USA depending on the state. Covid has definitely created a lot more room for LPNs to step foot into the hospitals because of the demand it has created 😊
@@kiearacelina I'm excited about that the hospital is where I wanna work when I Graduate and pass the NCLEX ..
Thanks for ur videos. They help me stay focused and motivated. And informed.
Some people only see the area that they live in, it's a great big world out there, and in different parts of the world the acronym behind a Nurses' name is always different in different parts of the world: Ontario, Canada Rpn, RN.England(RGN, Registered General Nurse, Enrolled Nurse, in the Caribbean you have (RN,their training lasts three years, ENA, their training lasts two years, should any of these Nurses migrate to any of the afore mentioned what do you think will happen?
People please do your research before you try commenting, your brain cells could get muddled and the go your judgement.Lol
Theresa Dixon Well 94% of my viewers are American and the rest are pretty much Canadian so when I make my videos , I’m mainly talking about those 2

Should you be an LPN if you hated being a CNA?
Hi Nurse Kieara
Your TH-cam channel is awesome!
I am an internationally educated Nurse. Are there universities in Canada that offer RN to BSN programs for international nurses?
Thanks for your response in anticipation.
Stay safe.🤗
Oniyide Ebunoluwa hey 👋🏽 Yoruba i see 👀 haha I’m Yoruba too 😊 anyway, we do have RN to Bsn programs in Canada but not many schools offer them, I know that athabasca university offers it on campus and online so if you want you can check that school out. They have a good rep for online schooling so if you want, you can work as an RN where you are and do the rn to bsn online at the same time until you’re done then you can come here and work as an RN. In Canada you have to have a bachelors to practice as an RN except for my province but you have to speak French here 🤦🏽♀️ anyway check that’s school out. Just write Athabasca university Rn to bsn and you’ll find it 😊 I hope this helps 🙏🏽
@@kiearacelina Thank you so much for the prompt response. I'm super glad we are from the same tribe. Like wow!❤️

Hello, informative video, but what did you mean by, if you go the LPN route, youd have to pay for classes twice and take the NCLEX twice?? Did you mean in Canada? Thanks.
If you want to go to LPN school first and then go back to become an RN, you will pay for the LPN program and the nclex PN and then you will pay for the RN program and Nclex RN
Hi! My name is Emily Johnson and I am currently a freshman in college.
I am doing a research paper on the licensed practical nurse profession and I am conducting primary research through email interviews. My project is due Thursday and one of my participants just decided to drop out of the study. I know it is a long shot but I was wondering if you would be interested in answering just 12 quick questions on your day to day as an LPN! Please let me know if you are interested, I would very much appreciate it :)
Sure, I don’t see why not but just to let you know,I am still a student.I have 3 months left till I graduate but have been doing internships in hospitals for 6 months now so if that would affect your paper...
Not a problem, that is actually great because one of my focuses is education in the field. I would love to hear about your experiences while interning! I can email you the questions right now. In case you don't want to share your email on the public comments--my email is...

Hi, I have been watching your videos about being a LPN/RPN in Canada and truly appreciate you sharing your experience, would you mind me asking if all of the LPNs are unionized or is it just depending on the facility you work at?
LPNs are unionized. And some of facilities they share the same union as RNs but in other facilities LPNs and RNs have different unions either way they’re both unionized ☺️.
@@kiearacelina hi may I asked where school did you go for LPN?
True
Hello this is Abul Bashar I have CNA & PCT license I live in USA at Brooklyn,NY I’m working now hospital,how can I get LPN license please can you give some advice? thank you
I can. You have a lot of experience that can boost your chances and that’s great you have health care experience. So about getting into a program should be no problem for you. You need prerequisites for admission into the LPN program.
My advice is to get a letter of recommendation from a nurse or someone you know in a healthcare setting on your application. And you already have experience in the healthcare setting.
why do you have to pay for school twice and do the nclex twice ???
If you want to become an Rn but you chose the lpn route first, you’ll have to go to Lpn school and write the nclex Pn then go to RN school and write the nclex Rn
IS LPN COURSE IS EASY OR NOT. THE TEXT BOOKS ARE LESS OR MORE IN THIS COURSE
Is it better to take LPN online or in campus? I want to work in Beaty spa as a nurse.
Lpns in Texas are allowed to give medications and do assessments
Lpn’s everywhere are allowed to do that.
What's the name of community college you went to ??
What do you mean by paying for school twice?
Well you would have to pay for you lpn program then pay for your bridge program and possibly pay for you bsn program afterwards if you chose to go from adn/asn to bsn
Hi, I just found your channel and this what I want to know..paying for school twice?? I’m starting LPN in the spring
Interesting!!
Can men do course to be a LPN and will it be awkward or not? I mean to say there are least boys doing this course and it may be awkward reading a course being only a boy in the class
Amogh Adhikari it’s 2020, there is no profession out there specific to a gender. It’s up to you, do you want to be a nurse or not ? If you want to be a nurse, it shouldn’t matter how many boys are in the class. Go to school, do what you gotta do and graduate, you won’t be the only male nurse in the world
@@kiearacelina Thank you so much for replying♥️
May I know which province offer associate degree in nursing in canada?
Lpn u have to do match? I’m bad at match
It depends on the school and where you live .
I'm thinkin bout being a Lpn
What if you want to move from LPN to bsn position in Canada
Same question I have. Please let me know if you ll get an answer
question if you are in Ontario, Canada and you got accepted to the Practical Nursing Program! would I have to ask them when I get there how to bridge to BSCN for Registered Nursing? thanks 🙏🏻
im worried about this because my vp wouldn’t let me upgrade my college courses to uni so I have to take the college-uni root
Yes I’m in Ontario. If you do the Rpn program, you’ll have to work for 1 year or get 1000 work hours I believe to be able to apply for the bridge. You’ll also have to complete your pre requisites you start. I hope this helps 🥰
Are there any online lpn classes in the DMV area
Nursing is a on hands profession . Unless you already have some type of nursing degree you can bridge for example LPN-ADN or (BSN). I recommend looking at your near by community colleges.
Thank you. I appreciate you
I did LPN to pay for my BSN 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Yup that’s what a lot of people do.
Independence 💃🏽
I want to be lpn and am from india,i hv done msc nursing but dont hv clinical experience,practical...can u help me with information
I know nothing about international nursing,you would have to contact the board of nurses where ever you plan on moving for more information.
I feel like lpns are just well paid knowledged interns
Can you work in labor and delivery with just a LPN?
You can work on a maternity unit in post parfum but I don’t think you can be in the delivery room as an lpn. It all depends on where you live though, you would have to check the scope of practice.
Please can you tell me should we give any exam after our graduation to become a LPN or automatically we become a LPN after completion of our course?
You have to write the board exam before you become licensed
@@kiearacelina that means I become licensed after my last semester exam? Or if not how long will it take to be licensed after our last semester?
Amogh Adhikari your last semester is not what makes you a nurse, you become a licensed nurse after you write the board exam. It’s not an exam that you get from school, it’s a government exam you do with the state or province you’re in
@@kiearacelina okay I got it. Thank you😁
You’re beautiful.
Focus lol.
I think cna is really the first step tbh
If you feel like that’s what’s best for you then go for it. After two months of nursing school I was qualified to work as a CNA and worked as a CNA throughout my two years of LPN school. You can do it that way or you can just get your CNA license and work as a CNA before going into nursing school. It’s all up to you really, how are you get there doesn’t matter as long as you get there ☺️. Every route is acceptable.

Naenae85 Totally agree!
