 Hi guys, so today I wanted to talk about LPNs, or License Practition Nurses, I think license practical nurses. I don't know, LPNs. So a lot of people ask me, you know, what I think about LPNs versus RNs versus going just to an RN program versus going to an LPN, then an RN program. And I am going to be 100% upfront and honest with you guys. In my entire nursing career, which has only been a year and a half, I've only worked with one LPN. So my opinions aren't super well-knowledge educated and whatnot. So I'm going to give you my perspective on things. LPNs are really phasing out a lot of major hospitals. There are still hospitals that hire LPNs, but the majority of time, LPNs are working in nursing homes, long-term care centers, kind of those step down, not acute center hospitals. And LPNs, for the most part, can do most of the things that nurses can, but there's a few things that they can't do. Some LPNs can't give IV medication, like push drugs. Some can't hand blood products or start IVs, but sometimes there are certifications where you can separately get that certification to be able to do that. So again, I'm not super knowledgeable on this topic. My opinion personally is if your end goal is RN, then it doesn't really matter how you get there as long as you get there. Whether you go LPN first and then RN. Some people can take to the year program for LPN, be done with it, and then it's like, well, I can work as an LPN while I finish my RN program, and some people want to just directly go to RN. So I wanted to open up this discussion for you guys and let us know in the comments below your thoughts on LPNs. If you are an LPN, if you're an LPN school, if you're thinking about it and whatnot, I honestly don't have the right or the passageway to really talk fully on this topic because I work with strictly RNs. I don't work with LPNs anymore, and there's not LPNs really in hospital settings because hospitals would rather hire RNs. So let's open this up. Let me know what you guys think in your thoughts, and thank you guys for watching this video. Hopefully we can answer some of your guys' questions in the comments below as far as LPNs because I'm just not super educated on it. But I know one of you guys wanted me to do a video on this. So thank you for watching. Give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel, and I'll see you guys next time. Bye.
