I heard they are starting to phase out LPN's in hospitals, is this true?

I am currently enrolled to start cles to become an LPN, but I was told recently that LPN's are starting to be let go. Is this true? I didn't plan on stopping at an LPN, I ultimatly want to become an RN then to BSN...please help..any advice on what direction I should take? Also what are some types of jobs I could get being and LPN?
