PSW or RPN | What to Do When Math is Hard

Is Becoming a PSW Right for You? | What I wish I Did | My Story

You want to be one a PSW not an RPN, not an RN. Why would someone opt to be the person who changes soiled patients while they soit and jab you with their finger nails instead of the person who crushes they mess into their chocolate pudding?

Because you can’t do math your options are limited. If you don’t have the pre-requisites you need you have to settle for a career that feels more like a job.

Although there are many irreplaceable memories and moments of bringing a lot of value to someone’s life as a PSW there’s no advancement. In an office you can easily become team lead or manager with a few strategic moves, time and consistent results but a PSW of 20 years has no authority with an RPN of 2 months and major language barriers and communication issues.

Stop avoiding the work and take the steps to get yourself into a career that doesn’t feel like work for you.

Be well,

PSW and RPN are not in the same category. PSW is best job if you want full time low wage job with overtime. Compared to something like working at a warehouse. Just like how School Bus driver is looked down on, but it's the best job in part time minimum wage job category ie. fast food, retail etc.

Don’t become a PSW find a college that has 2 years continuous studies meaning the program is 2 years but because it’s continuous you only study for 14 months 5 semesters back to back. Being a RPN is way better you don’t get paid peanuts, the wages of PSW is minimal compared to a RPN who works for a agency can easily make up to 60 a hour.
