getting in nursing school as an LPN

Is it easier to get into nursing school (RN) if you are an LPN?? versus a pre-nursing student

ImO I think its better because getting into the nursing program where I am located is impossible there are no open spots and there are alot of people that are just stuck because they couldn't get in. But once you have your LPN you are automatically enrolled into there program and its less time to finish since you already completed the first yr of nursing school in your Lpn Program

Ok Thank you so much...I am getting stressed that I wont get into nursing school...so my back up plan is to get my LPN then do a bridge program to get my RN.

I think it depends on the school you are trying to get into.

I had a hard time getting into an RN program so I chose to get my LPN.

Once I got my LPN I was accepted into an RN program right away.

Just keep in mind that it may take longer to get your degree in the end.

But you will be able to earn a decent salary sooner :)
