Cheaper quicker lpn to bsn programs?

[Sydney5291]

Hi everyone!

This is my first post so don't judge me too hard I am about to graduate my LVN program in CA (Northwest College - Riverside) and am really interested in learning about LVN to BSN bridge programs. Since the school I'm going to is a trade school it was pretty expensive (29,000) and I wanted some information for some cheaper options. I don't mind moving to another state to complete my degree, I just want something that doesn't take a year to get into! It seems like all the CSU's and UC's here have a very long wait list and I really just wanna get started so I don't lose motivation. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks so much in advance!!

California is like the second most expensive state to attend a bridge program. I was quoted 68,000 for the RN program at Everest in Ontario, CA. Checked Ohio which is my home state, found an RN school for 18,000 and will graduate 6 months sooner. Do your homework!

Try Phoenix also

Unless you are content with an ADN, go to community college. Otherwise, there really is no cheaper quicker way to get your BSN. I just finished Univ. of Phoenix's LPN-BSN program, I did my LPN at a CC and paid out of pocket for it. I always say too bad we can't get a BSN at a community college. Be careful for the scams out there, too! Really do your research!
