who all is going to do LPN then RN?

[sprtbikegrlsv65]

Just wondered how many are going to do LPN then RN? my husband is going to go to Iraq (he's army) for a year so that gives me enough time to do the LPN school while he's away...plus i have a baby on the way in April so i can't start until this fall anyway.

i eventually want to do RN but the waiting lists are killer in my area so LPN is the ony chance i have in order to start within the next year...

anyone else? and where are you going to go?

I"m going to go to Miami Valley CTC, in Ohio

Hello! I am planning to do both. I was just accepted into an ADN program that starts this spring. The ADN & PN classes at my C.C are exactly the same in the first 4 terms. The only difference is that the PN program ends the ADN continues for another 4 terms.

In May 06' I am eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN.

God Bless you, your husband & baby!

That's exactly what I'm doing. I got accepted into the LPN program starting in Sept. I took the NET, put in the application and got accepted within 2 weeks!

I looked into the other programs in my area and the wait lists were 2 years long to go RN direct but LPN no wait no prereqs and LPN-ADN bridge, no wait and I am doing the bridge pre-reqs while I'm waiting for school to start so I can bridge right away.
