Becoming an LPN/LVN can be a good career choice for those who are interested in healthcare and want to start working in the field relatively quickly. It offers a quicker entry into nursing compared to registered nurse programs, and LPNs/LVNs have the opportunity to provide direct patient care in various healthcare settings. The choice depends on individual goals, preferences, and career aspirations. Many people use the role as a stepping stone to further their education and become registered nurses.
