Hello everyone!
So I am looking into schools to aquire my BSN.. I am curretly a LPN and would love some feedback as to what schools i should look into in order to full fill my endevour!.. I have not had much luck with my online research for it only guides me to online programs and that's not really something i want to do. Personally I prefer the classroom, college atmosphere.. thanks in advance

I don't believe there are any in NJ, as most LPN programs are considered vocational not collegiate. Even online I think the only LPN-BSN program is the online/distance learning program at Indiana State University and part of that program is self directed study/testing out of certain courses prior to formal acceptance at ISU then later the nursing program.
Most county colleges have an LPN-RN bridge program culminating with an AAS in nursing or an AS in nursing. Some county colleges have agreements with Universities to progress then from an AAS/AS RN to a BSN. (For example OCC has an LPN-RN/ASN bridge program. They also have coursework taught Kean University on campus, one program is the RN-BSN bridge.)
Ahh I see.. well that sucks for me then. It appears I'm going to have to go for my associates then BSN. Which drags! I hoped their was going to be something I just can take all the way through
