To go or not to go for RN?Rating: (votes: 0) LVNs/LPNs will never be phased out. They may not be able to get certain jobs (ex. In a hospital) but there will always be jobs elsewhere. There are online LVN/LPN to RN programs online. There is Excelsior College, Indian State University & WGU. Comment: Hmm - from what I've heard, WGU has a non-traditional approach that is a close match to your needs, but they may not be available in your area. If you really want to go for an RN, I'm sure that there are probably some 'hybrid' programs (online + clinical practicum) in your geographic area.If you are seeking an RN for fear that LPN jobs are going away, you may want to re-think. IMO, as reimbursement tightens, there will be increasing pressure to decrease costs in all areas of healthcare. I think that we may even be seeing more LPN/LVN & MA/CNA jobs and fewer RN jobs - especially in non-acute settings.
