No matter what, I'd go for the degree BUT plan to do a bridge program to earn my RN at the very least. You can also contact the HR department of any hospitals you're interested in working in and see what they say about LPNs. Might also ask if there are particular units they hire them for and see if you can do something that appeals to being hired there (maybe an extra course over the summer or something). Good luck.

It all depends on the hospital. In the large metropolitan area I live in, LPNs are largely being phased out by hospitals and RNs are becoming more limited to working in clinics and nursing homes. But that may not be true elsewhere. Do some research and look through job postings on hospital websites in your area to see if there are many openings for LPNs or not.

I'm not sure if they hire LPNs but it is worth a shot to find out if they do.
