Easier or harder to get into a BSN program as an LPN?
I'm currently going to school to get my LPN and my program that I'm in is only a year long so I definitely need to start thinking about where I want to go after I'm done with this program. I definitely want to get my BSN at some point and I want to go that route after I get my LPN. I'm not opposed to getting my ADN first if I have to and then go on to a ADN-BSN program but at this point I'd rather go straight into the BSN after I get my LPN. Generally speaking, is it easier or harder to get into a BSN program right after you get your LPN? I would be going in as a transfer student and would be going into the traditional BSN program and not a LPN-BSN program. Would schools more likely take someone who already has a diploma in a nursing field already or do they tend to be harder on someone like me who would have their LPN compared to someone right out of high school?
