LPN 11 month Vocational school question

Looking at alternative educational/career paths into the field between CNA and 2 yr Degree of Nursing, an alternative may be in-between with vocational school to just pass RN, before get degree.

>> QUESTION - Since 1/2 of Vocational school is at local hospitals, is any of that paid time or is it cost-free hiney wiping for the hospitals?
Cost free hiney wiping.
Hi, I am also enrolling in a diploma 12 months program. I had two close friends whom became RNS and both... love their patients, but the demands and stress of their jobs were super high. Both .. were super stressed out. I received the advice to go for LPN instead.. no matter what everyone has to say about LPNS.
SleepyNDopey, Hi again, I am attending a private school. Herzing College. There are a quite of few LPN programs out there that are not in hospitals. I do know.. that if you work for a Home Health Care Agency as a CNA. They will contribute to the cost. A hospital told me the same.. however said they won't hire me as a LPN, discouraging me, and pushing me towards RN, which to me is so... wrong. This is WI for you. This state still.. refuses to beleive that we are in and headed moreso towards a nursing shortage. I know.. other wise. Sad but True.

Quote from baldeeYes, I saw a wonderful deal in Newspaper. FREE 6 month long CNA class!!WOW, those guys are generous! Free hiney wiping for 6 months, and then you may be overqualified for their needs (if you require any money for your time any way). About 1/2 dozen to a dozen hiney's should be all it takes, not the full 500 repetitions to become an expert by learning curve standards.All the schools, all the want-ads, and still all the unemployed 'educated' workforce.
Well, I think that you have to look at the clinical portion of any nursing program as getting exposure to things you may see as a nurse. I do say that most clinical experiences are a joke, at best, but, I would rather have at least some exposure rather than none at all.
