I have been an LPN for eleven years, and it's the best job I'v ever had. The pay is decent, depending on where you live it is almost a livable wage. LPN's have to be "supervised" by a registered nurse, but for the most part, I run my own floor. An LPN can administer oral medications and IV meds, do wound care, physical assessments, consult with doctors and pharmaicsts on our patients behalf. We have to monitor patient condition and report changes directly to the MD and carry out orders. This job requires a lot of responsibility and acountability- in the nursing home setting, where doctors only see patients once a month or less than that, and the supervisory RN has her own floor with her own patients, the knowledge and experience of the LPN is the lifeline of the patient. I encourage all of you who want to do this job to do it. Finding an online school for LPN or 2-year RN or BSN will be hard, they probably dont exist. Check out the community colleges in your area AND private schools that advertise on TV will have good LPN courses. It only takes a year to become an LPN-You wont regret it!

Please ! where are the online schools for L.P.N , lots of people want to make use of the online courses , I have been looking around and Cannot seem to find any --- it's about time someone offers this . Another issue is when are C.N.A's going to be paid more for the work they do , come on people ! the hospitals etc CANNOT Survive without C.N.A'S and they know it ! yet the salary is very small , depending in the state you live in ---- very UNFAIR __ anyone out there agree!!!!!!!!!!

I USE TO WORK AS A CNA, BUT I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY OCCUPATION AND NOW I WORK AS A TEACHER ASSISTANT. BUT MY DREAM JOB IS TO BE A RN OR AN LPN OR MEDICAL ASSISTANT. BUT I DON'T WANT TO STOP WORKING. PLUS IT'S HARD TO WORK, GO TO SCHOOL, AND TAKE CARE OF MY 3 CHILDREN AND BROTHER. I'M INTERESTED IN ONLINE CLASSES MAINLY IN EITHER THE FIELD OF RN OR LPN. PLUS, I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO GO TO SCHOOL. SO, I WOULD NEED ASSISTANCE IN PAYING FOR MY TUITION.

I am a cna and I would like to know how I can get started in an online LPN program because I cannot afford to stop working at this time. If you could assist me with getting started in an online program as soon as possible It will really be appreciated. Thank You

I am a cna/cma and I work in a hospital setting and I was looking for as online RN or LPN program, and I know you have to go somewhere for your clinicals but some of the nurses with whom I work with graduated form the RN online courses and I was interested in being a nurse.
