HELP, I NEED ADVICE??????should I do 2 yr ADN or LPN transition into 2nd yr ADN prog.

Where do I start, here I go...... I completed the LPN program at my community college and took my boards and passed in Oct 2007. I was a Surgical Technologist, and stayed in the Operating Room since I knew I was going back to school for my RN. I am finishing up with my last A&P.

I took the Mobility Exam to test into the 2nd yr of the ADN program. I passed, and I can start this summer with the transition course to prepare LPNs going into the last yr of the ADN program. We have skills check offs and assessments and some paper work to get us up to speed with the ADN students. That is not a problem........

My dilemma is..... ready.....I stayed in to Operating Room knowing I was going back to school....there are only a few things I am able to do there as an LPN. I know deep down inside I have lost my skills since I don't work on the floor. I am really nervous because of clinicals.....I know that the instructors expect me to know what I am doing going into 2nd yr, and my fellow classmates know you are and LPN and expect just as much if not more. I have kept up with the skills the hospital requires of me for my yearly evaluations.

My fellow nurses who just finished with their RN say I can do it because they know the type of person and student I am.. That is not the problem, I don't want to do anything wrong.....

Have I just answered my own question, do I do the 2 yr program and not just the last yr????? Do I take this opportunity and use this as a refresher and solidify what I learned in LPN school????? Do I start out with the class and do the 2 yr and form a bond with them since I will be going through everything with them and they won't see me as an outsider?? I know that the RN program is way different in the way they are taught that the LPNs....

I am so darned confused.......... Are there any LPNs and RNs that can help me......

I will be starting with the transition part this summer.......... but I also have an informations session with the ADN program director on the 20th to see if I can go into the 2 yr program... Which of the two..........
