Doors in Nursing....

there are lpn to rn programs in many places. michigan is one of them. i attended an lpn to rn program in southfield mi that took about a year. also in mi we have free money available from the state that is for nurses who are going back to school, i received some of that money. really look around, and you may find some resources you didn't know were there. if you don't find anything though, if you really want to be a rn, then you will start from scratch and just do it. if my lpn-rn program hadn't been there, i would have just started over.

I have enjoyed my LPN career for the past 27 years. However, there are still doors in nursing that are closed to me. I want to work in Hospice and manage and plan the care.
Now after what I call my 'detour' lol ...marriage & family..I am going back to college. Because my science's are from the late 70's that are no longer applicable.
I decided against an independent study or online courses. I enjoy the interaction of a class setting. I also need the structure and accountablility for assignments and tests.
In Ohio and I suspect other states the Boards of Nursing have not structured a nursing program just for LPN's. The college I chose has an Access program that takes off about 6 months...but you sit side by side with nursing students with no clinical/years of nursing experience. I just wonder why State Boards of Nursing don't see all the wonderful potential of LPN's and encourage them through special programs and financial aid packages.
