  Please note there is a world of difference between the pay between an RN and an LPN. My experience is that a good LPN can do pretty much what an RN can (and in some cases even does a better job). It really depends on the person. But the point is an LPN will make 1/3 of what an RN will make. So, if you can handle RN training go for it, you will get the personal and financial rewards. If your looking for a less stressful nursing experience and dealing with kids, explore public health nursing. Many cities in the US have public health nurses do vaccinations and screening in the schools. There is also all the health education for expectant mom's to be and early childhood classes. Check with your local health department for more information on what is done in your community. Glad to hear you have compassion it is a quality greatly appreciated and recognized in a nurse! Good Luck!!
