Question for the nurses...
I am THINKING about going back to school for nursing.
What is the schooling difference for LPN vs. RN? What is the salary difference?
What do you like/dislike about your job?
Thanks so much!

Re: Question for the nurses...
If you do a search on the careers board, there's been a whole bunch of threads on the topic over the last year... it should help answer some of your questions 
As far as salary difference- it really depends on where (and in what area) you work, but on average, i would say that the difference tends to be about 30K-40K. Also something to consider is the option that you'd have- i dont see LPNs used too widely in the hospitals (though they do tend to use them alot in nursing homes). Just something to keep in mind.
