attention former LVN / LPN's

[1200]

Hi. I'm looking to find some RN's with BSN degrees that were former LVN / LPN's to see which route they took. I recently passed my NCLEX boards for the LVN over here in Southern California (woohoo!) and I'm trying to find the quickest rout possible to obtain a BSN. I've been looking into Indiana State University (online program) and Oklahoma University out here in San Diego but I'd like to get some feedback from some people that might have gone through either school to get some feedback, how it worked out for them, any... * ahem * "constructive criticism", etc... Oklahoma's 13 month accelerated BSN program if fairly new and requires a bachelors in any other field, which I already have in Information Systems. So I'm working on my second BSN in Nursing.

I guess you're on your own on this one..

My doctor stated that PAs are taking over various specialties. they are mroe sought after than registered nurses. he also felt that nurses require too much education in order to go from one speciality to another specialty whereas PAs take all their classes with the med students and do just as great as NPs.

your thoughts on this?

sorry for the typos...i'm tyrping this quickly before i go to bed. maybe the moderators can correct the mistakes and move my post to a new thread.

try under student forums (tab is to the right) There is a whole forum for LPN to RN transition students, which is probably why you're not having a lot of luck getting a response here.
