How long did it take you to complete your LPN program? Was the NCLEX for LPNs really hard? I'm trying to decide if I should go LPN-RN to RN-BSN or if I should get my ADN-RN then go for the RN-BSN? Which route is faster? Which route will allow me to gain more work experience? I have a good ten year plan, but the first 5 years depend on how I become an RN and get my BSN. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

I am in my final semester of a 3 semester LPN to RN program and last semester was HARD for me...the amount of material plus 2 clinical days a wk was almost overwhelming!

All I could find on South University was RN-BSN or MSN, nothing on the ADN. Is there a link where you found the online ADN? Just make sure it's accepted in your home state.

Hi itsmejuli, may I asked in what college of Tampa Bay area are you attending to that you will finish with your rn in 3 semesters? I am trying to find an institution that will provide me the opportunity to do it as soon as possible. Also an lpn for few years but not acclamated with the location and requirements to be accepted into the bridge program. Can you help me with more information? Thank much

I found the Transitional Nursing class well.........really boring, but some of the older nurses coming back for their RN who had been out of school for a while really enjoyed it! I had just grad. from the PN program a year before starting the transitions course so 6 hrs of class to tell me something I had just learned bored me! LOL, but now that I am in 4th semester with critical care and high risk peds/ob I have my hands full! I love learning new things so I am enjoying it a lot. I don't think it is harder I just think that where we re-enter we are re-entering in one of the hardest semesters.....in an RN program! Good LUCK!

hi,

im currently taking my prerequisites for the nursing program at community college, however the waiting list is any where from 1 to 2 years and some of the science classes are almost impossible to get they are always full. i feel that it's taking such a long time just to get in the rn program. i checked out a school called west cost university it's a private school no waiting list just a entrance exam but its very expensive around 70,000 of course you pull out loans but it's a lot to pay back. i thought of taking an lvn program for now and later going back for my rn. i checked out concord got their lvn program it's just a year long. can anyone please give me some advice about doing the lvn first and if anyone knows if concord is good or of any other good lvn programs. thank you very much!
