Re: LPN's WHO'S GOING FOR RN????

I'm a LPN currently in my first semester of a one year RN transition program. I'm not finding it to be too difficult at this point, but we are just expounding on material we've already been taught in LPN school, with a few new procedures.

I AM!!!!! I enjoy being an LPN.I have been an LPN for a little over a year now, however i want to do more and with more education i know i will be able to. I am doing LPN to RN-BSN here at a local universtiy(not online). I have 1 year and a semester to go, It is not to difficult yet just time consuming. I work every weekend 12 hour shifts. So it can be done! Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.

I've been an LPN/LVN since early 2006.

I'm currently attending an LPN-to-RN transition program and will graduate in a few months. So far, the RN program has actually been slightly easier than the LPN program.

You'll acquire the majority of your basic knowledge and skills in the LPN program. However, you'll learn a new way of thinking, interpreting, approaching situations, and applying the previous information while in the RN program. You'll also learn some more content related to pathophysiology and leadership.

Re: LPN's WHO'S GOING FOR RN????

I want to go to school where you guys do. Maybe its just our school but our RN year so far has been sooooooo much harder than our LPN year. LPN year was a horse of a different color with learning how to critical think and a new way to study etc., but this RN year is a whole dang FARM of a different color. Currently I'm a strong B average but man am I fighting for that. Seems to me that RN year is so much more detail, yes its just expanding on what you already know but it might as well be completely new material with the depth we go into.

Good luck to you!!!!

I start the LVN to RN program at Lee College on 10-29-09. It's been a while since I have been in school. Has anyone taken this program, and if so, any suggestions??

If you're referring to the Lee College in TX, you might get more responses if you posted this same question over in the Texas Nurses forum. Click on the link below to get there. Good luck in school!

I recently graduated LPN, passed the NCLEX and have applied to LPN-RN transition program that starts in May. I'll be done in 3 semesters, then its 1.5 yrs to get BSN for me. Hope I get accepted! I ran down there as soon as my license popped up online. I have one more pre-req to complete in the winter session.

Re: LPN's WHO'S GOING FOR RN????

I'm completing my last semester of prerequisites and I will be applying for fall 2010. I will go to any school that will take me. I'm anxious to get my RN and move forward with my career in nursing.
