My wife and I went to LPN school together 18 years ago, I got my RN from a diploma program in 2008, BSN in 2015 and MSN in 2018. I am a nurse manager at a large medical center in the Midwest I also pick up 3 agency shifts a month at another hospital, 130-150k a year for the past 3 years 200K + in 2021. Marriage didn't survive ex-wife chose to remain an LPN, she is a Assisting Director of Nursing at a long term care center making 70k plus 2/3 agency shifts a month averaging 90k a year, its hard work but very fulfilling/rewarding.

I’m in California SoCal, I’ve been offered 30-55hr as an LVN with paid housing and rental car weekly checks. Sounds tempting, but I prefer my 30.45hr fulltime with benefits working case management, was working from an office now I work remotely from home and love it.

That's amazing! Yes all that sounds tempting, but when you have specific reasons you have to look at the bigger picture. I wouldn't be able to because I have kids, but if I didn't that would be great. I am so jealous of people working remotely right now!
Love this! Just started my LPN course in Michigan last week and I’m so happy I went for it! Studying is hard with 3 littles, lots of late nights, but I know it will all be worth it when I graduate in October!!
@@lynashanorthington2628 go for it. I’m just now starting and I’m super nervous too but I’m determined , my friend graduated last year and Loves it, she has already made double her salary due to COVID
I was going to get my ADN degree but honestly I need money now and need get my hand in the door fast like I would just go right into BSN RN But that’s a lot of money I rather go the LPN ROUTE because that will pay for BSN RN route
Same. I’m stuck between LPN first or going straight to ADN RN. I want a higher paying job now and if I find a job I like most companies offer tuition reimbursement and they can pay for my RN.
THANK YOU!!!! I am a single mom and have been so confused on whether to just bite the bullet and do my bsn or the faster route lpn. And when you said you have kids that need to be fed and clothed i felt that in my soul lol I’m definitely doing the lpn program so i can get my foot in the door fast! Thank you thank you for this video
This brings me so much comfort. I was a SAHM before my husband got a TBI. I’m currently in classes to become a phlebotomist but it’s not enough. I’ve been trying to decide if I should start with my LPN or just go into the associates. I hope the need for LPNs stays in demand.
I was supposed to start my LPN Oct.2020 but COVID.I start in a few days April 5,2021. It was originally 14 months but now it’s 15 months because they dropped a Friday. I’m excited!!!
Same thing happened with me, at my Community College and coupled that with Changing of the Guard nursing staff - pushed up til Spring 2022. Right now, I’m finishing off these preq’s.
I find this video interesting because I actually was in RN program first but failed out, and was fortunate enough to be in another LVN program. I’m tired of being CNA and I wish I could started LVN first then I could be working as a LVN now. I had struggled in RN program because I had no idea of nclex style exams and was overwhelmed with pharmacology. You have to do what is right for you not what other people tell you. I made errors along the way tried to finish quickly and consequently it is going to take me more time but eventually I will get to where I want to be.
I’m really debating on doing my CNA first or LVN. Of course I want to get to the RN level. I already have a BA and have considered the ABSN but MONIES 🥹
Hey Justine. I’m so happy you posted this video about LPN. you have helped me to decide what’s best for me... I do not have a lot of time for school and I do have kids and I am single so after watching your video I enrolled in the LPN program. Thank you
My mom just retired her LPN this year 2021. 45 years in the game. Longer than I have been alive. I’m looking into getting my LPN now. However, this will be a second career change for me. Thanks for sharing.
Glad I found this video I literally went to check out a school today for LPN and they kept pushing for RN talking down the LPN program smh. But thank you for this video I’m sticking to my choice
I'm go glad I found your channel finally someone we can relate to. I am also a mom of 2 kids and I have been thinking about LVN school. Thank you for giving us the encouragement and letting us know that LVN are not phase out or cannot find a job. I am in Northern CA AND I have always let the price of the school holding me back, but after watching your experience I feel can get there as well and everyone who watched your channel. Can you do a video how you study and schedule for family time with your kids? Your daughter is so cute and congrats to getting through LVN!!!. Wow, that a big sacrifice of hard work and tears!! Thank you so much for sharing with us your experiences!!!!!
Everyone has their own paths. You can’t tell people how to choose their nursing path. Some of us have kids and have to do LPN and then bridge to RN. I couldn’t wait another year to finish my prerequisites for RN since more classes were added so I settled for LPN, and then I’m going to bridge for my RN later. I can work as an LPN save up then do my Rn. I have three classes left and currently struggling with Chemistry. This video gave me hope.
I was an LPN for years. I absolutely loved it. I eventually did go back for my RN. But there are plenty of jobs for LPN at hospitals, doctor's offices, and LTC. Don't think you have to go into LTC first. You can start in the hospital or doctor's office. Doctor's office you do it all and you do make good money.
Your baby had me cracking up making faces, I'm in an LPN program now and feel really encouraged by what you said. Thanks for the motivation, best of luck to you !!
I really needed to hear this. I'm currently only taking A&P and girl, I AM STRUGGLING!!! It's making me question whether I want to do LVN or not. I doubting myself so much, I spend too much time in my head doubting and questioning myself when I could be using that time to study. But hearing your reasons why becoming an LVN is worth it, is really motivating me. I'm 33 and mom of 4 and trying to pass this class is just so discouraging cuz girl, it's HARD! But this is motivating me and I thank you for that
Oh thank you so much! I’m so happy to motivate even one person! I love watching mom videos especially in school or having to work. I wish we could all stay home with our babies but having to work is hard and minimum wage isn’t enough. You can do it girl! Believe me I am not smart, lol...I really have to study and study again. You will be proud! And so will those kids!
Hey, try to focus your studying! Thats what i did & i passed both with an a & b. Study the special fonted text like bold, italicized, underlined etc..., study the objective in the front of the chapter & the summary in the back of the chapter, study boxes & tables.
I'm onboard with everything u said I'm doing LVN for just about the same reasons. I'm in a 17 month program. It produces an ASSOCIATE'S degree as well as LVN certificate it's in southern California. My G.I. Bill pays for 2/3rds of it The rest I did a FAFSA and got Pell grant and a Loan.. I'm super excited about starting I've already.done 85% of all my entrance stuff . (Application, meet with counselors, got a tour of campus, paid for background check, did FAFSA, just need to do my vaccinations and orientation now. Class begins October 10th and we're entering Labor Day weekend this week so 1 Month! And I start. I want to be an E R. Nurse upon graduation I know it's.gonna be tough But that's cool I'll work hard
Great info here!!! I am in Illinois and we had the same kind of program, I was able.to get my entire LPN program paid for 100%, including books, supplies, and gas/childcare. I graduate in July. Around here, I see LPNs in doctors offices, dermatology, drug rehabilitations, long term care and general adult units at the hospitals but our rate of pay I have seen as low at 18.00/hr to 40/hr. Such a wide range...

They also taught ne phlebotomy on the job.

Thank you thank you thank you for making this video! I have a 3 year old with autism and I was hesitant to start the LVN program while I wait for the RN program (my local school has a loterry RN program). Thank you for the reassurance, especially saying that it's worth it and that u can do it as a busy mom. Love how your face lit up when your 2 year old came on camera! Thanks for the inspiration, I appreciate you!!
This video has definitely helped me make my decision on going to school for LPN. It's not that many schools offering the program here in Vegas for some reason. I'll call a school and they'll tell me they no longer offer the program. It's been a bit discouraging, but I'm determined to find one right for me. With the virus running rampant, you'd think it would be more healthcare programs offered now since we are in desperate need of nurses all over🤷🏾♀️
I love your videos! They have helped me a lot with making the right decision for myself! I’m 24 years old and graduated high school like 6 years ago . Growing up I wanted to be a nurse and be able to take care of people but when I was younger in high school I didn’t think I was smart enough for nursing or college but I let a guy that I was with at the time make me feel dumb but anyways fast forward I was going to go straight for RN but I want to quickly get in the medical field and start making money to better my future. I love take care of people . I am still nervous to start my pre requisite in August but also excited . I just regret not going to college right after high school . When I graduate college I will be the first person in my family from my parents and brother to graduate high school and college. I want to make myself proud and my family. I also want to be able to help my parents out more . I hope LPNs aren’t ever going to be phased out. Sorry for this long comment lol thank you for making these videos I do appreciate it because it helps me make a decision 💕 hope everything is going good for you!
I’m an LPN and I feel we are not respected. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard an RN talking crap. I’m going back to school to get my RN license. I live in PA and the opportunities for LPN are slim, mainly nursing homes.
Great insight. I am really considering a Career change as a Travel Nurse. I am researching the requirements and becoming an LVN seems to be the first requirement, to then bridge onto an RN program. I am subscribed and I will review the rest of your videos for further insight. Thank you!
I’m in Northern CA and I’m a med tech/MA going back to school in August to be an LVN. It’s go hard to get into the RA program in my area 2-3 year wait list. In my area our local hospitals pay the most in all of CA. Girl you are a rockstar doing this with two boys and a two yr old as a single mom. My boys ate a little older now 8 and 11 so I’m ready and motivated to start in August. Went to school to be a CNA, Phlebotomist and MA.
Your video is really inspiring me to become an Lvn this 2021,and you are absolutely right! not just because u have kids you can’t have a career just like me i also have 3kids as you do..And i’m also from north Cal.Thank you for sharing this!😃👍🏼👍🏼
Hello, can you do a video on what pre req’s you needed in order to get into your LVN/RN bridge program. I got my LVN license in 2017. You can also work in schools as an LVN. My first job after passing my NCLEX was with Kaiser in a Flu Clinic. Then I went with a a company that staffed nurses with students to attend school with various health issues. I left on 3/13/20 when our school closed because of Covid-19. There are so many more opportunities for LVN’s right now.
My LPN classes start in August and I’m so excited! Like you said, I want a career to go into not just a job to get by with. After I finish nursing school and get some experience under my belt I’ll decide whether to go back for my RN or not.🤷🏻♀️
Hello, thank you for this video! I'm really considering becoming a LVN. I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant with my first and I start the course a month after my due date. I really want to create a stable environment for my son and I. Do you think LVNs will still be in high demand later on? I'm planning on working at a rehabilitation center for elders. Also, how did you manage to take care of a newborn/kids while working and studying? Thank you in advance ❤
Congratulations 🎉 yes I do think we will be in demand especially in rehab centers! I’m doing a video on my study tips with work, family/kids. I haven’t posted in a while but it’s coming this week! 🤍
Amen to that , 12hr i work in rehab/Asst Living But now 20hr prn as a cna tru a agency "I think God for my LPN last year . Just waiting on my nclex..cna now working I Love nursing🏥💜💜
Blessings to you chica! A total role model with 3 kiddos.thank you so much for this video. My kiddos are all grown up and now I’m looking an LVN program. Any recommendations for schools. I’m in Los Angeles 🙏🏻🥰
Thank you for sharing, just graduating and my hospital will only take LPN/LVN to suture. They would not take an RN for that position so I said let me just do it to get the suturing experience that RNs don’t get unless they did a separate program. I am going to get reciprocity to California so I can travel there from OhIo to help out. Thank you for video you have helped me make my decision a lot clearer.
Your LVN program was 15 months? Wow! 😮 The LPN programs here in North Florida & South Georgia are 11 months. The RN program is 16 months. Of course these programs are very fast paced though.
Great video! Forsure helped me! Had a question. Which schools do you recommend for the LVN program? Looked into Concorde here in CA but wanted to see if any others. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback I just finished my Lpn program and now finishing my clinical hrs... but I actually been fighting in my head that I am not a RN here in NYC I so needed this . I now want to find help to bridge into a RN now while working eventually . But I am still paying now for the loan of 30,000$ for this program of Lpn so I would help for the RN
Here in Texas, I'm torn in between. I ask MAs, they tell me LVNs are being phased out -- do MA, just deal with the bad pay while you pursue RN (easier said than done). I ask Nurses, they tell me do LVN because being MA is a waste of time & money. LVN just..feels like the right route. But I can't deny my feeling of hesitation from constantly being told "MAs find jobs quicker than LVNs do". Maybe I just need to be like you & not listen to anybody. Then again, maybe this pandemic has shown that EVERYBODY in the Health Care field is needed right now. Right now I'm trying to do this through the local community college, since that's where I've been taking basic courses for what feels like forever (who'da thunk going to school while working wouldn't be easy?)
Hi Alex, Honestly it’s depending on what you can do. LVN will take longer but worth it in the end vs. MA. you can find a job quickly as an LVN but most likely in a nursing home, which isn’t bad at least to get your foot in the door. The pay is great and has potential to grow further while your doing an RN program. Personally, I wouldn’t want to waste my time and money on an MA program or CNA bevy they are over worked and underpaid more so than nurses. Hope this helps. Do what feels right! Good luck 👍🏽
Thank you so much your video really helps me to decide i have 2 kids and i am really confused...becoz people are giving me diff decesions which is making me hard to decide...but your video gave me motivation to do it now....God bless you.
thank you for the video! cause everyone keep telling me to jump into RN . Im mother also of 1year old . next year class in jan.i been studying for the ati teas ..
Thanks for sharing this I’m currently a CNA but been in the medical field for a long time I’m thinking about enrolling in a LPN course I’m so ready I work with many nurses that keep telling me to go to school because I would make a great nurse after getting a LPN license how long would it take to become an RN
You really should, especially being a CNA you have an advantage and know how things work in that setting. Once you become and LVN you can bridge to an RN program which is usually another two semesters. To go straight to RN (associates) is 2 years.
I really think it depends on your state. Where I live LPN really only work in long term care facilities. Hospitals do not hire them at all and like you said most dr offices hire MA because they’re cheaper if an LPN works in a dr office they make the same rate of pay as a MA. I still think it’s a great accomplishment and a good career but definitely check if you can do what you want in your state before you go that route.
I’ve asked a lot of Lvns about whether I should do the adn route or lpn route in my facility (I’m a cna) and the first thing they always ask is “ how bad do you need the money?” If you can manage to do the adn route you should do it. You have more options in my opinion
I’ve been thinking of going for LVN more and more. Been a CNA for 3 years and over it. Taking pre-reqs for BSN programs but I want to make more money ASAP. Conflicted 😕 based in northern Cali as well
Going into a LPN to RN program is actually a lot easier to get into than a generic student getting into the program with no LPN license. Hopefully when you’re ready you’ll be able to get into one with ease. Good luck :)
I would say do what’s more suitable for you. But honestly coming from an RN . I see that lvn or Lpn not being treated with the same respect and a lot of my fellow RN coworkers look down on them as if there cna. My honest opinion is To go for the RN straight if your able to. Because more opportunities and growth and def more money being offered as an RN . But if your in a rush then do what’s best for you for being an Lpn or LVN first.
I wish someone would have told me this before I had kids or when I started classes for more reqs. LVN was never my goal but with kids and having to work it just came easier than the RN program. I’d love to eventually be an RN in labor and delivery 😊
@@heyjustine8199 that’s totally awesome. And I understand completely because its more shorter than the RN route. There’s still opportunities with the LVN. And at least you still can gain nursing experiencing while working as LVN while going back for RN. Wish you the best on your journey and keep staying motivated . It will all happen on its timing 😊
The respect is the same. But I think you are referring to the scope of practice. LPN can't handle IVs, LPN can't do recommendations as RNs do. RNs are responsible for LVNs and CNAs on the floor. New symptoms or acute should be assessed by an RN first. LVN cannot analyze, synthesize and evaluate data. LVNs must not be assigned to an unstable patient. I can go further. County got sued because an LVN was assigned to a patient who was actively dying, not sure the detail but here's the link! 8.3 million tax money nuhw.org/corizon-alameda-county-pay-8-3-million-settle-jail-death-lawsuit/
Thank you! Very informative video! I am looking into making a career change from the corporate world. I’m in Southern California is there any schools you would recommend?
I’m not familiar with schools in So Cal but I’m sure you have more LVN programs available to you and assistance so definitely look into those! Good luck 👍🏽
What part of northern ca are you in? I’m watching this from Sonoma county. Current cna going on 5 years and looking to move up, thanks for your info 👊🏻
My long term goal in to become a RN. I actually wanted to be a doctor or surgeon but I waited to long and life happened and now I am older regretting it.. But never to late I am just curious about the best route to take. MA? LVN? EMT? So many options but I heard the best thing is really think about long term and what jobs are hiring for what and the money. I know it varies depending on where you live.
Honestly, I don't know, but I am sure you could work as an aid or ward clerk and work your way into more of a nursing position with your license. It depends on the facility.

Have you been a CNA for a long time 5 years or longer you can challenge the board and save $30,000 from going to these private schools and challenges. And you'll get the same LVN license that everyone else has in California. If you work in a nursing home you're going to get like 30 to 40 patients to yourself to pass me too and you have to try for but you don't have to settle for a nursing home you can also work in clinics and some hospitals do take LVN in California
I am considering doing a LVN/LPN program at my community college (1 year program) and work my way to BSN RN. I wanted to initially go straight to ADN RN, I just need to pass the TEAS entrance exam.

I had struggled in RN program because I had no idea of nclex style exams and was overwhelmed with pharmacology. You have to do what is right for you not what other people tell you. I made errors along the way tried to finish quickly and consequently it is going to take me more time but eventually I will get to where I want to be.
I’m really debating on doing my CNA first or LVN.
Of course I want to get to the RN level. I already have a BA and have considered the ABSN but MONIES 🥹
@@BigTroubleD Most schools require you to become CNA before you get into LVN. Regardless it is worth having that experience.
@@tigerkenshi yeah that’s what I realized too. I’m starting my CNA training this weekend finally!
Pa is paying $55&^
I’m excited I go back for my lpn in august. I’m so ready! Also a mom I’m glad I found your channel!

LPN pay that much?? wth
I’m in PA and want to know besides agency, or due to the pandemic. Where are LPN making 55 and hour. I’m only making 26.
Hey Justine. I’m so happy you posted this video about LPN. you have helped me to decide what’s best for me... I do not have a lot of time for school and I do have kids and I am single so after watching your video I enrolled in the LPN program. Thank you
I’m planning on signing up for the LPN program where did you signed up?
My mom just retired her LPN this year 2021. 45 years in the game. Longer than I have been alive. I’m looking into getting my LPN now. However, this will be a second career change for me. Thanks for sharing.
God luck to you 👍🏽
I don’t like when people talk but I like how you were blunt about the shit frfr !!! Thank you
I start March 22 myself ! “ Get in Get out !! “

Glad I found this video I literally went to check out a school today for LPN and they kept pushing for RN talking down the LPN program smh. But thank you for this video I’m sticking to my choice
do you know if i need my tsi test or any required test before applying for lvn school?
@@phoku-w-6067 it depends on the school, Fortis didn’t require a teas or Hesi just a wonderlic test
What kind of test is required?
Applying for an LVN program in SoCal in February, was hesitant but you've helped me make my overall decision :)
How is it going ?
Which shool?
Thank you 🙏 I’m so nervous leaving my full time job to go do an LVN program!

Glad you said this from the title I was discouraged, but now I'm ready to start in the fall!
I'm go glad I found your channel finally someone we can relate to. I am also a mom of 2 kids and I have been thinking about LVN school. Thank you for giving us the encouragement and letting us know that LVN are not phase out or cannot find a job. I am in Northern CA AND I have always let the price of the school holding me back, but after watching your experience I feel can get there as well and everyone who watched your channel. Can you do a video how you study and schedule for family time with your kids? Your daughter is so cute and congrats to getting through LVN!!!. Wow, that a big sacrifice of hard work and tears!! Thank you so much for sharing with us your experiences!!!!!
Hey there! Yes I’m working on doing a video on studying while in the program and we’ll as what my program was like! Thank you for watching! 🤍
@@heyjustine8199 😍🙏🙏🙏
Hour video solidifies my decision to become an LVN. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Your words and wisdom is gold.
I just got accepted into SBCC for the LVN program!!!! I start January 2022!!! I really needed to see this video and I cant WAIT!!
You'll do great! Congrats!
Everyone has their own paths. You can’t tell people how to choose their nursing path. Some of us have kids and have to do LPN and then bridge to RN. I couldn’t wait another year to finish my prerequisites for RN since more classes were added so I settled for LPN, and then I’m going to bridge for my RN later. I can work as an LPN save up then do my Rn. I have three classes left and currently struggling with Chemistry. This video gave me hope.
Sounds like me! Keep going! Thanks for watching!
You're such a superhero mommy! I can respect your hustle! Blessings to you and your beautiful family
Thank you so much 😊
I was an LPN for years. I absolutely loved it. I eventually did go back for my RN. But there are plenty of jobs for LPN at hospitals, doctor's offices, and LTC. Don't think you have to go into LTC first. You can start in the hospital or doctor's office. Doctor's office you do it all and you do make good money.
I start school in august... I’m thinking about being a LPN this video helped a lot... Big ups from the DMV
Your baby had me cracking up making faces, I'm in an LPN program now and feel really encouraged by what you said. Thanks for the motivation, best of luck to you !!
Lol, thank you. She’s quite the comedian 😂 congratulations on making it this far! Keep it up 👍🏽 thanks for watching!
I really needed to hear this. I'm currently only taking A&P and girl, I AM STRUGGLING!!! It's making me question whether I want to do LVN or not. I doubting myself so much, I spend too much time in my head doubting and questioning myself when I could be using that time to study. But hearing your reasons why becoming an LVN is worth it, is really motivating me. I'm 33 and mom of 4 and trying to pass this class is just so discouraging cuz girl, it's HARD! But this is motivating me and I thank you for that
Oh thank you so much! I’m so happy to motivate even one person! I love watching mom videos especially in school or having to work. I wish we could all stay home with our babies but having to work is hard and minimum wage isn’t enough. You can do it girl! Believe me I am not smart, lol...I really have to study and study again. You will be proud! And so will those kids!
Hey, try to focus your studying! Thats what i did & i passed both with an a & b. Study the special fonted text like bold, italicized, underlined etc..., study the objective in the front of the chapter & the summary in the back of the chapter, study boxes & tables.
I failed my 1st A&P class. I became an LPN at 34 and an RN at 46. Don't stop!
I’m start my lpn on April 5 2021 I’m so excited
Congrats wishing you lots of luck ❤️🥳 , I start March 22nd I am also excited 🥰.
Me too!! Good luck to us!!
Is it hard????

You’re the motivator I needed. I am a Mom of 3, and I finally decided to go back.
I'm onboard with everything u said
I'm doing LVN for just about the same reasons. I'm in a 17 month program.
It produces an ASSOCIATE'S degree as well as LVN certificate it's in southern California.
My G.I. Bill pays for 2/3rds of it
The rest I did a FAFSA and got Pell grant and a Loan..
I'm super excited about starting
I've already.done 85% of all my entrance stuff . (Application, meet with counselors, got a tour of campus, paid for background check, did FAFSA, just need to do my vaccinations and orientation now.
Class begins October 10th and we're entering Labor Day weekend this week so
1 Month! And I start.
I want to be an E R. Nurse upon graduation
I know it's.gonna be tough
But that's cool I'll work hard
New subscriber here! Love your videos! Single mom here thinking about doing the lpn program. Giving me the motivation ☺️
Great info here!!! I am in Illinois and we had the same kind of program, I was able.to get my entire LPN program paid for 100%, including books, supplies, and gas/childcare. I graduate in July. Around here, I see LPNs in doctors offices, dermatology, drug rehabilitations, long term care and general adult units at the hospitals but our rate of pay I have seen as low at 18.00/hr to 40/hr. Such a wide range...
I live in IL as well. What program paid for your education Please help thank you.
@@tiffanygordon6928 Its called career link and they have several offices in my area for various counties, tazwell, woodford, and few others, Im near Peoria

@@nataliaveladez awesome!! I believe peoria has an office. Check career link =) they have a website.of some sort. You have to make below a certain income however, at the time i wasnt working much.

Hey I’m sorry but I’m looking for schools for the program, what school are you going to and would you recommend it??
@@hubertschulz6005 ok great thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you for making this video! I have a 3 year old with autism and I was hesitant to start the LVN program while I wait for the RN program (my local school has a loterry RN program). Thank you for the reassurance, especially saying that it's worth it and that u can do it as a busy mom. Love how your face lit up when your 2 year old came on camera! Thanks for the inspiration, I appreciate you!!
This video has definitely helped me make my decision on going to school for LPN. It's not that many schools offering the program here in Vegas for some reason. I'll call a school and they'll tell me they no longer offer the program. It's been a bit discouraging, but I'm determined to find one right for me. With the virus running rampant, you'd think it would be more healthcare programs offered now since we are in desperate need of nurses all over🤷🏾♀️
I love your videos! They have helped me a lot with making the right decision for myself! I’m 24 years old and graduated high school like 6 years ago . Growing up I wanted to be a nurse and be able to take care of people but when I was younger in high school I didn’t think I was smart enough for nursing or college but I let a guy that I was with at the time make me feel dumb but anyways fast forward I was going to go straight for RN but I want to quickly get in the medical field and start making money to better my future. I love take care of people . I am still nervous to start my pre requisite in August but also excited . I just regret not going to college right after high school . When I graduate college I will be the first person in my family from my parents and brother to graduate high school and college. I want to make myself proud and my family. I also want to be able to help my parents out more . I hope LPNs aren’t ever going to be phased out. Sorry for this long comment lol thank you for making these videos I do appreciate it because it helps me make a decision 💕 hope everything is going good for you!
I am 1/2 way through my LVN program here in the CV. I am just 6 months away from Graduation and then its off for NCLEX-pn
I’m an LPN and I feel we are not respected. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard an RN talking crap. I’m going back to school to get my RN license. I live in PA and the opportunities for LPN are slim, mainly nursing homes.
Great insight. I am really considering a Career change as a Travel Nurse. I am researching the requirements and becoming an LVN seems to be the first requirement, to then bridge onto an RN program.
I am subscribed and I will review the rest of your videos for further insight. Thank you!
I’m in Northern CA and I’m a med tech/MA going back to school in August to be an LVN. It’s go hard to get into the RA program in my area 2-3 year wait list. In my area our local hospitals pay the most in all of CA. Girl you are a rockstar doing this with two boys and a two yr old as a single mom. My boys ate a little older now 8 and 11 so I’m ready and motivated to start in August. Went to school to be a CNA, Phlebotomist and MA.
Your video is really inspiring me to become an Lvn this 2021,and you are absolutely right! not just because u have kids you can’t have a career just like me i also have 3kids as you do..And i’m also from north Cal.Thank you for sharing this!😃👍🏼👍🏼
Aww the little faces she was making at the camera 🥰🥰🥰 she’s so cute!!💕
Lol, I know...she's a character!
I lost it at 8:03 😂😂😂😂 when she screamed mama again ! Lmaoooo I feel like she said don’t ignore her again ma’am
Lol…she was not playing! 😂😂
Now you can come in as a new lvn and ask for good salary cause they need you!!!!
Hello, can you do a video on what pre req’s you needed in order to get into your LVN/RN bridge program. I got my LVN license in 2017. You can also work in schools as an LVN. My first job after passing my NCLEX was with Kaiser in a Flu Clinic. Then I went with a a company that staffed nurses with students to attend school with various health issues. I left on 3/13/20 when our school closed because of Covid-19. There are so many more opportunities for LVN’s right now.
My LPN classes start in August and I’m so excited! Like you said, I want a career to go into not just a job to get by with. After I finish nursing school and get some experience under my belt I’ll decide whether to go back for my RN or not.🤷🏻♀️

Hello, thank you for this video! I'm really considering becoming a LVN. I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant with my first and I start the course a month after my due date. I really want to create a stable environment for my son and I. Do you think LVNs will still be in high demand later on? I'm planning on working at a rehabilitation center for elders. Also, how did you manage to take care of a newborn/kids while working and studying? Thank you in advance ❤
Congratulations 🎉 yes I do think we will be in demand especially in rehab centers! I’m doing a video on my study tips with work, family/kids. I haven’t posted in a while but it’s coming this week! 🤍
There will be a lot of old people in the future who will need someone to care for them. For those who can travel TRAVEL and MAKE THAT BANK!
Thanks for sharing this video! This is a sign for me to pursue my nursing career!💖 bless your heart💖
Amen to that , 12hr i work in rehab/Asst Living But now 20hr prn as a cna tru a agency "I think God for my LPN last year . Just waiting on my nclex..cna now working I Love nursing🏥💜💜
Amazing! Congrats and study hard!
Blessings to you chica! A total role model with 3 kiddos.thank you so much for this video. My kiddos are all grown up and now I’m looking an LVN program. Any recommendations for schools. I’m in Los Angeles 🙏🏻🥰
Thanks a lot for sharing and am just starting hopefully I get my lpn done sooner
Thank you for sharing, just graduating and my hospital will only take LPN/LVN to suture. They would not take an RN for that position so I said let me just do it to get the suturing experience that RNs don’t get unless they did a separate program. I am going to get reciprocity to California so I can travel there from OhIo to help out. Thank you for video you have helped me make my decision a lot clearer.
So glad I can help! Good luck and thank you 😊
Your LVN program was 15 months? Wow! 😮 The LPN programs here in North Florida & South Georgia are 11 months. The RN program is 16 months. Of course these programs are very fast paced though.
Recommend schools for Adn please
Please do you know any school in Florida that offer online
Please which school in Florida offer Rn for 16months
Thank you for making this great video!
so inspiring! ❤️ I have two boys myself trying to go for the new year!

Thank you for this! Needed this girl ..kudos to you on your journey 🤗
New subscriber!! You are very positive and motivational!!
Yay! Thank you! That means a lot...
This is the 1st tome I’ve heard lvns being phased out. Im an MA working on my LVN
Same
Great video! Forsure helped me! Had a question. Which schools do you recommend for the LVN program? Looked into Concorde here in CA but wanted to see if any others. Thanks!
I would look for the closest schools to you and make sure they are accredited.
I'm a LVN and some of US are more smarter than RN's ......... Get your money worth.
Thank you for your feedback I just finished my Lpn program and now finishing my clinical hrs... but I actually been fighting in my head that I am not a RN here in NYC I so needed this . I now want to find help to bridge into a RN now while working eventually . But I am still paying now for the loan of 30,000$ for this program of Lpn so I would help for the RN
you can do it
Go for it! You can do it and you will have a good foundation for it!
Here in Texas, I'm torn in between.
I ask MAs, they tell me LVNs are being phased out -- do MA, just deal with the bad pay while you pursue RN (easier said than done).
I ask Nurses, they tell me do LVN because being MA is a waste of time & money.
LVN just..feels like the right route. But I can't deny my feeling of hesitation from constantly being told "MAs find jobs quicker than LVNs do".
Maybe I just need to be like you & not listen to anybody. Then again, maybe this pandemic has shown that EVERYBODY in the Health Care field is needed right now.
Right now I'm trying to do this through the local community college, since that's where I've been taking basic courses for what feels like forever (who'da thunk going to school while working wouldn't be easy?)
Hi Alex,
Honestly it’s depending on what you can do. LVN will take longer but worth it in the end vs. MA. you can find a job quickly as an LVN but most likely in a nursing home, which isn’t bad at least to get your foot in the door. The pay is great and has potential to grow further while your doing an RN program. Personally, I wouldn’t want to waste my time and money on an MA program or CNA bevy they are over worked and underpaid more so than nurses.
Hope this helps. Do what feels right! Good luck 👍🏽
Go for your LVN! It would be a waste of time & energy to go for MA. I believe you can do it! You got this!
Thank you so much your video really helps me to decide i have 2 kids and i am really confused...becoz people are giving me diff decesions which is making me hard to decide...but your video gave me motivation to do it now....God bless you.
My pleasure 😊
I really needed to hear this.
Thank you for watching 😊
Happy Mother’s Day
thank you for the video! cause everyone keep telling me to jump into RN . Im mother also of 1year old . next year class in jan.i been studying for the ati teas ..
You’ll do great mama! Thanks for watching 🥰
Great video love! What do you think if American career college for the lvn program?
I can’t speak in it since I have not attended but I have looked into it for bridge.
Please make a video on lpn admission those who are not from medical background but ..want to jump into
Lpn will never phase out, they need them now more than ever
Starting in Aug 2021..Ready for it! Making 30/hr here
Congrats! Work hard and don't give up!
STUDY FOR YOUR PAX EXAM you’ll thank me later , no one told me
Thanks for sharing this I’m currently a CNA but been in the medical field for a long time I’m thinking about enrolling in a LPN course I’m so ready I work with many nurses that keep telling me to go to school because I would make a great nurse after getting a LPN license how long would it take to become an RN
You really should, especially being a CNA you have an advantage and know how things work in that setting. Once you become and LVN you can bridge to an RN program which is usually another two semesters. To go straight to RN (associates) is 2 years.
Hi Justine thank you for your videos, I know it has been two years since this video. Do you see any changes with lvns since ?
I really think it depends on your state. Where I live LPN really only work in long term care facilities. Hospitals do not hire them at all and like you said most dr offices hire MA because they’re cheaper if an LPN works in a dr office they make the same rate of pay as a MA. I still think it’s a great accomplishment and a good career but definitely check if you can do what you want in your state before you go that route.
Depends what you want.
RN will pay up over time n require less work hours.
I m at 195k in 2020. The secret: specialties will pay up.
Thank you so much for the advice I'm a single mom and I have a daughter also I have to work but I'm looking for a school .
You got this!
I’ve asked a lot of Lvns about whether I should do the adn route or lpn route in my facility (I’m a cna) and the first thing they always ask is “ how bad do you need the money?” If you can manage to do the adn route you should do it. You have more options in my opinion
Yes if you can wait a little longer then definitely go for the ADN. But LVN is a great option for those of us who need to make great money sooner 👍🏽
I’ve been thinking of going for LVN more and more. Been a CNA for 3 years and over it. Taking pre-reqs for BSN programs but I want to make more money ASAP. Conflicted 😕 based in northern Cali as well
Going into a LPN to RN program is actually a lot easier to get into than a generic student getting into the program with no LPN license. Hopefully when you’re ready you’ll be able to get into one with ease. Good luck :)
I hope so!
WRONG.
Very true. I found two LPN -RN programs in my area that will automatically take you if you have your LPN already.
@@TildeDixon PLEASE SHARE PLEASE im begging I've been looking for such schools
@@julesjma please explain why it is wrong
May i ask you where you went to school in California? I live here looking to go back to school I find you such an inspiration!
Needed to hear a video like this so bad!! Thanks for all the info Justine!! ☺️🙏💕
So glad I could help! Thank you for the support! Don't give up!
I would say do what’s more suitable for you. But honestly coming from an RN . I see that lvn or Lpn not being treated with the same respect and a lot of my fellow RN coworkers look down on them as if there cna. My honest opinion is To go for the RN straight if your able to. Because more opportunities and growth and def more money being offered as an RN . But if your in a rush then do what’s best for you for being an Lpn or LVN first.
I wish someone would have told me this before I had kids or when I started classes for more reqs. LVN was never my goal but with kids and having to work it just came easier than the RN program. I’d love to eventually be an RN in labor and delivery 😊
@@heyjustine8199 that’s totally awesome. And I understand completely because its more shorter than the RN route. There’s still opportunities with the LVN. And at least you still can gain nursing experiencing while working as LVN while going back for RN. Wish you the best on your journey and keep staying motivated . It will all happen on its timing 😊
The respect is the same. But I think you are referring to the scope of practice. LPN can't handle IVs, LPN can't do recommendations as RNs do. RNs are responsible for LVNs and CNAs on the floor. New symptoms or acute should be assessed by an RN first. LVN cannot analyze, synthesize and evaluate data. LVNs must not be assigned to an unstable patient. I can go further. County got sued because an LVN was assigned to a patient who was actively dying, not sure the detail but here's the link! 8.3 million tax money nuhw.org/corizon-alameda-county-pay-8-3-million-settle-jail-death-lawsuit/
Thank you! Very informative video! I am looking into making a career change from the corporate world. I’m in Southern California is there any schools you would recommend?
I’m not familiar with schools in So Cal but I’m sure you have more LVN programs available to you and assistance so definitely look into those! Good luck 👍🏽
@@heyjustine8199 Thank you so much!!! 😊

What part of northern ca are you in? I’m watching this from Sonoma county. Current cna going on 5 years and looking to move up, thanks for your info 👊🏻
My long term goal in to become a RN. I actually wanted to be a doctor or surgeon but I waited to long and life happened and now I am older regretting it.. But never to late I am just curious about the best route to take. MA? LVN? EMT? So many options but I heard the best thing is really think about long term and what jobs are hiring for what and the money. I know it varies depending on where you live.
In between starting classes for LVN or an RN . I really want to work within the pediatric oncology field is that possible as an LVN ?
Honestly, I don't know, but I am sure you could work as an aid or ward clerk and work your way into more of a nursing position with your license. It depends on the facility.
It’s possible!!

Don’t give up! My mother took it more than 10 times she said, and English is not her first language either. You can do it!
Have you been a CNA for a long time 5 years or longer you can challenge the board and save $30,000 from going to these private schools and challenges. And you'll get the same LVN license that everyone else has in California. If you work in a nursing home you're going to get like 30 to 40 patients to yourself to pass me too and you have to try for but you don't have to settle for a nursing home you can also work in clinics and some hospitals do take LVN in California
