Hello All!! I am unsure about my school path, and was wondering if anyone had some advice. I have been a LPN since 2009, and have completed all pre-reqs for nursing school. I have been attending the community college in my area (HCC) and was planning on applying to their LPN-RN transition program. It would take me 3 semesters; starting summer 2013.
The problem is, the hospital I want to work at only hires RNs with a BSN. I know there are ADN-BSN online programs, but I am not good with online classes.
I have considered just finishing my 60 credit hours and graduating with an AA, and then apply to a 4 year university like UF, USF, or UCF. I know they are competitive, but I do have experience as a LPN. I also have a GPA of 3.6 at the moment. I have to retake a nutrition class that I got a D in (an online class btw!!!!) bcus I missed the final exam deadline by a few hours. Once I retake it (and get the A I know that I will earn), then my GPA will jump up to 3.8!
I have not talked with an academic advisor about it, and I will now have to wait until after the holidays to do so. I was wondering if anyone else has done the AA to BSN route, or has known someone who has done it. I have not met anyone who did it, so I am worried if it is even possible! Any and all advice is welcomed. Thanks!!! (p.s. sorry for the super long post!)
