Okay so it is official this week I took my NCLEX- PN boards to become a licensed practical nurse and I PASSED!!! I am super excited to now say that I am a nurse. I still have another year of school until I am a RN (Registered Nurse) but I just think it is fun to advance my licensing as I go along. I love my job on the Infant Unit at Primary Childrens and I will not be leaving to work somewhere else for the next year since they do not use LPNs (I wish they did... an increase in pay is always nice :) I will continue to work as a patient care tech til next year when I graduate!
