I’ve been an LPN for seven years! I started when I was 23. It’s now time for me to go back to school and get my RN license but being an LPN has been wonderful for me! I grossed $90k last year and I’m living in a very low paying state. I’m just here to encourage people to do it! i worked full time and went to school full time. I’m telling you…. It’s tough, but it’s worth it! whenever you take the boards, be sure to apply for the multi state compact license instead of just the state you live in. I’ve done a lot in my career: long term care management, assisted living management, agency (jail, school, LTAC, med surf units), home health, doctors office
Hey ! Thank you for stopping by and dropping some GEMS 💎! Coming from a well seasoned nurse, congratulations on a successful year in your career. I encourage you to continue on in your education. Considered subscribing to my channel, I will be talking a-lot more about RN field and education
Some hospitals never stopped hiring LPNs. The local hospital around my area never stopped employing them. It's only in certain states where hospitals stopped hiring them and then picked them back up when covid hit, but certain states never stopped hiring them to begin with.
Dr. Sydney Monica. 👩⚕️ ALWAYS a wonderful experience listening to information you share about the journey and the obstacles you have overcome to achieve to your great heights . Thank you for the work you put in and keep on doing so you're a true testimony that Hard work is ALWAYS rewarded.
I think you will ! Nurses are definitely getting paid more now. Also depending on where you work and the state the pay can vary. Best of luck on your journey
This was over 10 years ago, I do not but what a great idea 💡 to create one for my viewers. My best advice, stay focused and consistent, avoid distractions and you got this !!! I wish you the best of luck.
Hey ! These are great questions! I would be more then happy to elaborate on these different options, email down below. LPN school was 100 free to me because I did it in high school as a trade program. LPN schools are usually at technical colleges. However this care vary in different states
I’m graduate next month as a LPN! I’m doing the LPN-RN bridge in June. I graduated high school with my cosmetology license. Can you do a video on your full process?
Wow! Your parents are brilliant! I definitely would love for my children to sit for the nursing exam at 18. God bless your parents for giving you the head start every child deserves! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I'm so happy and grateful to listen to your speech but now it's 2023 and I think they're paying LPM more money now I am a PC T and I make 21 an hour. I was in the nursing program but it's so hard so I step back and I'm taking LPN thank God for that once again you are great to listen too.
Thank you so much !! I appreciate the support 🙌🏾 you are absolutely correct this was back in 2017* I said 19. After Covid they increased the pay for most healthcare professionals 👏🏽. Congratulations on starting school again!! I wish you the best of luck on your journey🫶🏽
Hey ! I know your struggle. Math was a challenge for me too. I recommend watching video that break it down, sometimes seeing it step by step can make it easier to grasp the concept. Good luck in your journey and keep going ! It’ll be hard but you got this 👏🏽
Here in BC, Canada, there is not much pay difference between HCA/CNA and LPN; exactly $3-5 extra per hour but its takes 2 years to complete LPN. So, in a year you're making only $7,000 extra a year: if you put in lots of overtime.
By any chance, do you know any Filipinos who studied LPN here in the Philippines and was able to work directly in US, has a working visa processed by an agency, all just by taking NCLEX?
Here in Ohio, my school calls the entrance test HESI exam.(i just passed, yayyy me!!!) I start LPN program in October 2024. I have been a CNA 24 years. 😊

Wow!!! Well done. Do you live in TX by any chance?
were you required to become an rn or can you stay an lpn?
You inspire me
You are so humble, encouraging, and such a role model. Please keep up the good work...
Wow !! Thank you so much 🙏🏽🫶🏽 I will !
With the current nursing shortage, it’s crazy how many hospitals are hiring LPNs/LVNs on med surg, telemetry and emergency rooms.
Well, what is so crazy about the hospitals hiring LPN LVS?
Some hospitals never stopped hiring LPNs. The local hospital around my area never stopped employing them. It's only in certain states where hospitals stopped hiring them and then picked them back up when covid hit, but certain states never stopped hiring them to begin with.
Why are you too bitter about LPN?@@jennifertorres3051
I am proud of you for going on to further your education. Some would have stopped as soon as high school was over and that first check hit the bank.

I get paid 17$ hr now and I work at amazon .. I’m in school for LPN.. and I want 28-30$ when I finish lol 😂😂
I think you will ! Nurses are definitely getting paid more now. Also depending on where you work and the state the pay can vary. Best of luck on your journey
You can get way more than that by obtains certifications after you get your lpn

LPN school was 100 free to me because I did it in high school as a trade program. LPN schools are usually at technical colleges. However this care vary in different states

Are you required to have the COVID-19 vaccination in order to work as an LPN?
Depends on the facility you work. Most places have attestation to decline and wear mask.
Here in BC, Canada, there is not much pay difference between HCA/CNA and LPN; exactly $3-5 extra per hour but its takes 2 years to complete LPN. So, in a year you're making only $7,000 extra a year: if you put in lots of overtime.
Right ! And not much difference in pay From LPN to RN. It all depends on your end role and what you like to accomplish
@@sidneymonica Oops. Here in Canada, LPN start from 31.89 upto 40.12, where sa RN 40.65 and goes all the way to 57
By any chance, do you know any Filipinos who studied LPN here in the Philippines and was able to work directly in US, has a working visa processed by an agency, all just by taking NCLEX?
Hey ! Don’t familiar with that but some jobs do sponsor nurses. They are out there
@@sidneymonica Highly appreciate your response! ♥️ If ever I'd decide to study in the US as LPN, how much is the tuition fee for the whole year?
Good job my Daughter and law enforcement and encouragement are the best way to help .keeping going God bless you.
Thank you ❤️🙏🏽
Good job sis
Thank you ❤️
