In my area, it's two semesters. So I'll finish my LPN this June, start RN in August (joining the last year's RN students in their 3rd semester) and then do 3rd and 4th semester with them. Calendar time of course is 9mo, but when you add in our breaks it's closer to 7.5mo.

Depends a bit on where you go. Mine was a mini-mester bridge class and then the two last semesters with the second year RN students. Pretty quick and painless.
