1. I want to become an RN, but need some advice.

   HoppaRoundNursie replied to jayni87's topic in LPN-RN

   If you already have your LPN, you could get your ADN in a year and be able to work as an RN while getting your BSN. After you get some experience, you can do a bridge to BSN online or classroom. A downside I saw with going straight for a BSN is that ...
