Does Being an LVN make RN School Easier?

does experience / education as a LPN make RN school a lot easier? 

[JeLi, BSN, RN]

From personal experience, I was an LVN and worked home health throughout BSN school. I did find that LVN education and experience allowed me to "slack off" in a sense. When I studied from NCLEX I didn't study as hard or as long as when I took the LVN NCLEX. I pass the first time. Disclaimer: I do know other LVNs in my program that did not pass.

I really appreciate the insight. So was the LPN to RN program easier than studying in the LPN as a complete newbie without any knowledge of nursing?

That's what I exactly thought! It makes sense the bridge should be easier.
