BSN to LVN

Published

Hi everyone. I have a question for you. I am currently in the BSN program but it has been such a horrible, failing, sad process for me. And as much as I want to continue the BSN program, it's just so difficult to the point where I could be dismissed from the university. My question is and I know it can differ from schools, can you go from being in the BSN program to switching to an LVN program?

Absolutely. I know several people that started out in an RN program but changed to an LPN program due to grades, life, etc. LPN programs are typically more condensed and can actually be quite intense but people seem to find it a bit more straight forward. Taking this route doesn't make you less than or dumb or inferior or any of that nonsense. We all have to take different paths to complete our education and achieve our goals, and there's nothing wrong with that!

I would caution you to choose your LPN program wisely, it has become common stance where some schools are charging ridiculous amounts of tuition for their LPN programs, don't be lured into that type of scam. Try to stick with community colleges or vocational schools for more reasonable tuition. 

Good luck!
