Bridge why or why not?

I'm not an LPN--saw this post on the list o' fora--but yes I think it's a good idea. Otherwise if you desired to further your nursing education, you'd have to start over first. I'm an ADN RN working on my BSN, and I remember back when I was first looking at BSN programs. At the time I was working in the SICU/CVICU at the U-of-my-state hospital, and the same U didn't have an RN-BSN bridge. Actually that was before I knew what a "bridge" was--I was two years out of nursing school and just figured that my ADN credits could transfer. I remember thinking it made no sense that I was qualified to take care of the sickest of the sick in their own hospital, but if I enrolled in their nursing program I'd have to start by learning to do ADLs and administer pills.

Why are you making us do your homework??

Ha ha ha I'm not just general questions

Right. Brand new account and over 10 threads started. Nope not buying it.

I'm bridging because RN programs and their waitlists are crazy (Metro-Detroit area and down to Toledo, OH).

Why would it ever Not be a good idea?

Please explain.

Thats a big leap their a big difference from what a LPN can and what we as nurse with higher degrees can do. Just my opinion; I dont think its a good idea,but hey.

How is the jump any different than someone with zero nursing experience bypassing the ADN and going straight to BSN?

Also- by saying you don't think it's a good idea are you suggesting that once you become an LPN you should forfeit all your rights to a higher education?

So a kid straight from high school has the right to get their BSN but an LPN wouldn't be qualified or entitled to advance their practice?

Are you confusing what "bridge" means? You do realize it entails going back to school!

Please read the excellent posts written by the Commuter as to what the LPN role is like. She says it much better than I ever will.

Hate to break it to you, OP, but it exists in Canada.

Up here there are only LPNs or BScN programmes.
