LPN to RN through athabasca

World Canada CA Programs

Published

Hey everyone, this is my first post. I am an LPN looking into the bridging program through Athabasca University. Since its a distance learning type program i was wondering if anyone has completed it or is in the midst of this program. If you have i wonder how long it takes? and How hard it is? If its possible to do in 2 years? I really want to move to BC and work and live there so if i had to do the clinicals i would need to move back for a total of almost 3 months spuratically.

So i guess i'm also asking how is the outlook for jobs in BC for LPNs?

THanks a ton to whoever replies i feel a little flustered!:confused::confused:

Hi,

I am trying to do that too, would you mind we keep contact? Yeah, I couldnt figured out how to message you either :(

new to this site, tried to message you but couldn't figure out how! haha... how is the program going? I'm also working on it

Hi, I would love to connect but still dont know who to send you PM you.

Hi There

I have recently applied to the BN program at Athabasca. I was wondering if anyone else who is going to be doing their BN would like to connect! feel free to PM me!!

To send pm's you need 15 or more posts.

Is there anyone in here that had finished the Post LPN to BSN program in just 2 years or less after they got admitted?

And can you give us a little tip on how you managed everything?

thanks a lot!

Many students I have spoken to find they are on waitlists for clinical and practicum placements for up to two years.

I am just finishing up my LPN now but find I like to keep learning so LPN to BN is likely in my future after a bit of a school break. I will likely start the cluster one courses in about 9 months after graduation.

Hello everyone,

I am new to this site but have been reading through the threads. I am an RPN in Ontario currently enrolled in the Athabasca LPN to BN program. I started Sept 2015. I work full time (75hrs biweekly) and have devoted all other time to this program. It is not easy. I am just over half way done. I am hoping to attend my first clinical placement in May (I am just waiting for the all clear). I am really nervous about traveling out to Alberta by myself as I do not really know anyone there. I am curious if anyone that has attended these placements from a different province has any ideas on student housing for the 4 weeks or if you just rented a hotel for a month? I am just trying to figure out what is the best and most economical way to go about planning my stay out there. Thanks :)

That's going to depend on where your clinical placement is. If you're in the city, you'll need to either rely on public transit, or be close enough to walk to work. If you're in a smaller town your options may be seriously limited. Do you know where you'll be?

Unfortunately, I do not have that information yet. I may drive out if need be so I have my car, although I really do not want to. I am more wondering about accommodations. Hopefully I will find out details soon.
