Am i supose to go straight into R.N classes or should i become a liscened practical nurse (lpn) first?

how do R.N's usually do it?

I am not a nurse but I have worked with dozens in the past. For the most part they jumped right in and went after their RN. Personally I believe in starting with your ultimate goal in mind....go for the RN straight away.

Go for the RN. Most hospital & others are not using LPNs.
P.S. Take an English class. Well spelling and grammer anyways.
