"Do You Think Becoming AN LVN(1 Year Program).. In Order To Have A Stable Job/Short Term Career.."See Below>>"?

Generally nursing makes a terrible 'for the meantime' job, as it is fairly stressful and consuming. You can't be a good nurse unless you are 100% there. The other issue is that this supposed 'nursing shortage' has been blown completely out of proportion. A large number of hospitals and nursing facilities all over the country have instated hiring and pay freezes with the poor economy, the days of large sign on bonuses and the ability to pick and choose jobs is long gone for those working in nursing. The greatest pressure has fallen on those at the bottom of the totem pole, as many RN even those with a BSN are unable to get hired on at more desirable places of work, such as hospitals, they resort to working in long term care and home health, which is seems to be making less room for LPNs. You have to be realistic about the prospect of nursing school, even LPN, is tough and very time consuming. If you aren't dedicated to doing it you won't make it; out of forty in our LPN program only twenty-eight graduated. And as someone who has passed both the CNA exam as well as the NCLEX-PN, the CNA test is a joke, especially in comparison to nursing exams. To research schools and working conditions in your area to assist in your decision let me suggest http://allnurses.com/wisconsin-nurses/ ,the WI page of a forum created by and for nurses, I looked and see nothing but a bunch of complaints by nurses, particularly new graduates, at all levels of nursing who can't seem to find a job anywhere.
