I wasn't sure too much where to put this thread...I am thinking about chucking my degree in marketing to go into nursing. I am just not sure which kind of nurse I want to be. I was wondering if you could tell me the difference in education and job duties of an LVN and RN? I wont be heading back to school until next spring at the earliest (when the baby's older). I know that i want to work in pediatrics if at all possible or labor and delivery. I have had the most experience with these nurses and really feel they're such an asset to my son's medical care. (he's had TONS of experience with nurses and doctors in his short life) I sort of came to this idea when my son was in the NICU after being born but haven't had the opportunity to go back to school since he was never qualified to be in day care. (he has a g-tube) He's going to be in school full time next school year which opens up my ability to go to school at least part time.
My mom said that the RNs are more administrative and LVNs are more hands on with the patient type of job (which is what I'd want more) The community college in my area offers LVN training and the 4 year university here has nursing degrees. I just need to figure out a game plan i guess :) So any info you can give with your experience, I'd love :D
