Gemma Violet October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 In my community, if you want to be an LPN, you go to the local trade school. If you want to be an RN, you go to the local college. There used to be two college curricula here for RNs (Associates Degree and Bachelors Degree). Now, the college only offers the Bachelors. I don't know how many years you have to go to the trade school for LPN. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/4/#findComment-4764748

JoanArc October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 10 hours ago, wait.what said: No disrespect to LPNs. I work with some truly awesome LPNs. (I work at a hospital that DOES hire LPNs.) No disrespect to nursing home nurses, but it is a different skill set than working in a hospital setting. Not harder, not easier. Just different. Also: LPN programs do not have any college requirements. I was an LPN before becoming an RN, and honestly I feel like working as an LPN should be a required part of nursing education! You get a feel for what it's like in the trenches before you handle really high acuity patients and lots of crappy paperwork. That being said, LPN programs, with lower entrance requirements will also attract people who are averse/unable to perform in higher education. I went to school with and worked with a lot of Jehovah's Witnesses (who don't believe in college/higher ed) who wanted to be nurses. Abbie and Lauren remind me of those people - religious, and only pushing the limits of what is permitted so far. Jill Duggar is an even more pathetic version of this type of person. Abbie may or may not be a good nurse, I'd have to hear more of her work history to know if she's ever actually worked as one. For what it's worth I also went to LPN school with people who had graduate degrees, and became great nurses. Quote The junior college program from which my LPN aunt graduated most certainly does have college requirements. You can't paint all LPN programs with the same brush. Most states will let you challenge the LPN NCLEX after a certain amount of hours in an RN program, Many people do it to make extra money in school and rack up nursing experience before graduating, or because they have to leave the program for some reason. Most employers in my area will factor in years as an LPN so you're not starting at new-grad RN pay, too. Quote The LPN program I graduated from had very stringent entrance requirements and also required more clinical hours than the RN program. I work in a hospital and do the same hands on care as the RN, I just don't do charge on the floor like I did in a nursing home, I do blood transfusions but an RN has to sign off on it and I don't give chemo but I start iv's, push iv drugs and give iv antibiotics. There really is a ton of overlap between both roles, but I wouldn't trust that Abbie, who may possibly have a bit over a year of SNF experience max, to do most of these things. I would trust her to keep 25-35 patients alive, though! Quote Jim Bob isn't going to be rolled around in an office chair, and Michelle isn't going to spend her old age doing Anna's laundry! As horrible as it is to say, I hope they both get the Nurse Ratched treatment, by everyone in their lives. 15 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/73802-jd-and-abbie-captured-before-the-rapture/page/4/#findComment-4765139
Minivanessa October 19, 2018 Share October 19, 2018 (edited) On 6/26/2018 at 11:16 AM, Jeeves said: Good for JD. But actually the LPN education his sweetie completed, isn't exactly a "college degree." However, it is post-secondary education. It looks like she successfully completed the LPN training offered at a vocational school in Ada, Oklahoma, and she would be eligible for licensure as an LPN, I assume in most states. I think that training takes about a year and requires a high school diploma or GED in order to enroll in it. She may have received some kind of certificate or certification to note her completion of and graduation from the training program. I'm not looking down my nose at that!! The world needs LPNs and it's a real medical licensed role, unlike Jilly Muffin's bogus maybe-kinda-some kind of midwife status. Edited to add: Here's the LPN program page from the school she attended: https://www.pontotoctech.edu/ftp/practicalnursing Girl was not sitting around slacking, if she got all that coursework done in about a year and then passed the licensing exam. It's also more structured education than any Duggar has ever completed. Actually, JD's getting his pilot's license is probably the most a Duggarling has accomplished in the real world of education and training and, you know, sustained WORK. Ahem. I wish them well.
