Accelerated LVN-BSN and BSN-MSN

Published

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, I have been looking but haven't come accross exactly what I wanted to know.

I wanted to know what you guys thought about acceletrated programs that can go from LVN to BSN and from BSN to MSN? Do they look bad on resumes or is a degree a degree?

I live in Houston TX, I am having some trouble right now (that's another story in a nother fourm on this site) but once I get back up and running after I finish an LVN program I have read about a program offered by Texas A&M PV that is online and can take you from LVN to BSN. It has always been my dream however to go to UT Austin to get my BSN but if this other program will get me where I want to be by the year goal I have set for myself would this be bad?

I have 6 more biology classes to take then I can apply for UT or any other college that offers a regular BSN program. I am just wondering about these other types that are offered and would like opinions from people who are not trying to promote the school.

Were you ever able to find any info on the Prairie View LVN to BSN online program? I know they have the LVN to BSN program on-campus, but I've never heard or read anything about the online program. That would be awesome for me as well. Let me know if you hear/read anything about it!!! Thanks!!

If you have never taken an online class before, be prepared to work your butt off. One of the classes I'm taking this summer in the transition program is online. I literally spend 15 to 20 hours a week to keep up with all the reading, researching, papers, and lessons for ONE CLASS. It is, however, a 4 credit class. I'm also taking pathio/pharm this summer. Can you say "OVERWHELMED"!
