Thank you so much for your honesty in this video. It is not easy to come on camera and admit why you decided to become a LPN. I have no idea who you are and this is the first time I have watched your video but I am very proud of you simply because you did not give up and you accomplished your goal. I have been a LPN since 2008. Please, Please do not fall into the belief that you are not a nurse because you are not a RN this is not true. You are a nurse and you can go as far as you want to as a LPN there are lots of added LPN certificate programs that you can add to your name this can help you to increase nursing knowledge. There are lots of opportunities as a LPN. Congrats on being a nurse. Enjoyed the video.
I was an Lpn for 18 years. Been an RN for 3 years. Trust me when I say opportunity is there for both. BUT you will do the same work as an RN but make on average $1500(+) less a month being an LPN. That's with a 36hr week average. I encourage everyone if they have to finish quick and make money to get their LPN. But then go back for their RN unless they have entrepreneurial ventures planned
Yes 🙌🏾 mam…. I totally agree with u. I hate when nurses ask me why you doing LPN first why don’t you go for your RN cause LPNs don’t get as much respect.….. it’s just sooo AGGIEE and disrespectful. There will always be a need for LPNs PERIODt!! Stop playing with me nah sayers
For a long time I didn’t have any desire to do LPN/LVN either; I wasn’t even really familiar with what it was 😅. But I’m in California and the competition for RN programs here is insane. I completed all the prerequisites with a 3.9 GPA and 89.3 on the TEAS, and still didn’t get accepted to all 5 RN programs I applied to. So I ended up becoming a CNA and I’m currently an LVN student.
So grateful I came across your channel… currently taking the same route. Been a Medical Assistant for 3 years and just got accepted into Nursing School I start in December. Thanks so much for your inspiration 💕💕
Great choice you have to do what best for you! It’s crazy how people just feel that RN is the be all… I too have a BS in HCA & looking into doing an LPN program. It’s the best decision I made to do admin side first follow up with nursing! The burnout is real and with you having that as an option it will break it up from clinical to nonclinical. I say go for it !!💯💯💯💯🦋💯
Thank you. I was supposed to start this month but had issues with financial aid. I plan on re-enrolling in January if everything is taken care of by then. 😊
I think I would love being an lpn🤗❤🙏🏼. I will start there 🙂🙏🏼. I love this. I love how you find satisfaction in what you do most people aren't satisfied with where they are and nothing may not be wrong with that however I'm glad how fulfilling and satisfied you are with what you do and your re taking it one day at a time🙏🏼
Thank you so much fir this video. I am working on my prerequisites right now at Athens Technical College. I’m taking AP1 this Spring , take the TEAS and plan to apply to the LPN evening program for the FALL.
I'm an accountant, been doing it for 2 years. I just came up with the thought of going for LPN school. When I first started college I went to a private school for Physical Therapy Assistance but I couldnt keep up with the pace (went faster than a 2 year program) so I was intimidated by health careers because of the science and math reqs. I looked at the LPN reqs vs RN reqs and was like uhm .. Yeah no I'm try LPN first THEN maybe RN lol. I was like woah! Definitely a difference in the classes. I'm happy that you were able to find a way to achieve your dream of being a Nurse!!! How's it going? Congratulations on your new career😊 Do you miss Medical Assisting?
Great video I always have people tell me why are u choosing lpn at 18 because the prerequisites take a whole year I could have been a lpn after that year of prerequisites and then having to be wat more in debt
Happy to come Accross your program. This is so motivating. Please I will like to know which LPN program you went to in GA that offers evening sessions. I will be most grateful to have the information as that would fit in well with my schedule as well. Thank you
Passing nclex test is easy when you study hard ,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies then I advise you to get yourself help from mrs Olivia
Thanks for the video. I needed this. I completed all my prerequisites, but it m considering the LPN program then later bridge to and BSN program. What LPN program in Georgia did you attend? I also live in Georgia.
At my facility, the lpn does everything an RN does except push iv cardiac meds and hang blood products. But some examples are, give IV meds, Foley catheters, straight caths, bladder scans, ng tubes, etc.
@thetruthsayer everyone is entitled to their own opinions. The title is not misleading, I did choose LPN over Rn. I could have decided not to do nursing all together but I made a decision.
@@NurseMiaLPN2 well, you said in the video that you were about drop out of the RN program because of microbiology before you learned about the LPN program. There’s definitely nothing wrong with struggling. Lots of people struggle because the RN program is hard. I don’t mean to offend you but it’s not like you had a luxury of choice in this matter. I’m yet to meet anyone, who can get financially and intellectually get through the RN program, decide to choose LPN over RN.

I agree 100%
Great advice thank you
Is it a lot more schooling for RN though?
It takes a bit longer for the RN program. ADN is about 2 years, BSN is 4
@@tammybenadventures4839 2-3 semesters more than LPN depending on the program. It's worth it though

You might be better off getting a bachelor in any field and applying to accelerated nursing program
Hugs for not giving up❤.

Sometimes I do miss being a medical assistant but nursing is definitely more rewarding
I REALLY appreciate this video.
Great video I always have people tell me why are u choosing lpn at 18 because the prerequisites take a whole year I could have been a lpn after that year of prerequisites and then having to be wat more in debt
My thoughts exactly
OMG! Your story is so inspiring! I wish that I could pick your brain.
Happy to come Accross your program. This is so motivating. Please I will like to know which LPN program you went to in GA that offers evening sessions. I will be most grateful to have the information as that would fit in well with my schedule as well. Thank you
It's Athens Technical College Elbert campus..3 classes a week and every other weekend clinicals
Thank you for posting this video it was very informative and helpful.
Awesome inspirational video. Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️
Hey girl!!!! I took all the prerequisites and passed all of them. Science classes suck when you have sucky professors….. lol
Yes they do. Glad you passed!
Great video thanks for sharing

Hey Mrs.Mia how are you doing today. I have a question what Do a L.P.N. have to Do.
At my facility, the lpn does everything an RN does except push iv cardiac meds and hang blood products. But some examples are, give IV meds, Foley catheters, straight caths, bladder scans, ng tubes, etc.
🥰💯🥰
I am Georgia and just got into Nursing school. What is the pay for LPNs?
Depends on where you go but on average $19-25 based on experience. Some facilities offer more for new grad nurses
The title is quite misleading. You didn’t just choose LPN over RN. You gave up on becoming an RN.

@@thetruthsayer8347 So you woke up and chose violence. Do better...be better...kindness is free and so is silence.
@@CherieButler I didn’t mean to be rude. I was just frustrated with the title of the video.
Great video...I am in Atlanta and I am entering the LPN program Spring of 2023. I am very excited. Very encouraging video. Thank you!!!
Hi! if I may ask, what LPN program are you starting?
I start mines in fall 2023
