Bit of a Dilemma

[RN-4Ever]

Hello Everyone, I am in my final semester of an LPN program. I was having trouble last semester and I was fearful I wouldn't pass. Needless to say I brought my grades up and did just fine. During my time of fear, I applied to an RN program to start this fall just in case I didn't pass.

I graduate the LPN program this August. This means I can apply to an LPN to RN program next year. My school does this by allowing LPN's to take a transitional course and join the RN student's second year.

Much to my surprise... I am accepted into the RN program. Now for the dilemma... Do I start from scratch and be guaranteed to graduate with my RN in 2014 or do I take the chance I will be accepted next year? Any thoughts????????????

I do feel my grades are competitive enough or else I wouldn't have gotten accepted for the fall. Yes they will allow me to start from scratch because they are aware I am a current LPN student. They only accept 44 students into the bridge program and I have no idea how many students apply. I am going to speak with the director of my LPN program and find all this information out on Monday.

I have decided to decline the spot and hope I get into the LPN to RN bridge next year. Besides, my grades must be good enough or else I wouldn't have been accepted for the fall. Thank you everyone for your advice! This was a very hard decision to make. Every comment assisted me in making my decision. :)
