Can't answer the money questions but two of my friends are RNs and they went to Molloy.

Re: lpn/rn
My SIL just graduated from Nassau Community and they have a great program. SUNY Farmingdale has one too. Not sure about the $ difference but I would think it would be pretty significant.

Re: lpn/rn
huge pay difference per hour.
lpn's can work in hospitals (the role varies depending on the setting) though, i think that a majority of lpns work in nursing homes (they're not limited to them, but i think that's where most of them are).
the scope of practice is very different as well- i would read up on each to get a better understanding (allnurses.com is a really good resource).
