OK Hi! I am new, and I am almost 17. And I'm going into my senior year.In 10th grade I was doing poorly, and 9th grade was not as bad. I had alot of personal issues.But I'm doing better now(Almost had a 3.0 but one of my classes where Hella hard, I was a 1.8 last year.(NOT cumulative gpa)So I can't go right into nursing school, with out going crazy.So I was hoping for a transfer.I heard that Indiana University of Pennsylvania is good with that.And so is D'youvilleSo I just have to compile places for prereqs for transferring in my second year.But my dad wants me to do two community years to get my "degre"I want my Rn (I think)How hard is it to do Lpn-Rn. Or should I do a one year transfer to amy Rn(B.S.n)What exactly is the difference between and Rn and an Lpn???ALSO I live around Philadelphia, what's a good option for transferring?

Your best option is to finish high school first. How did you do on the SAT/ACT's? What colleges, if any, did you apply to?

I want my Rn (I think)

What exactly is the difference between and Rn and an Lpn???

It seems like you should do a bit more research before you decide to go into nursing. Do some research about nursing and the programs in your area to give you a better idea of what options there are.

I had issues going on later in t he year and will take my sats very early

In my school I have a class where they help you to apply to colleges.(only 9 students)

I'm just trying to figure it out because I have to

Oi. All do respect, OP, your post was very difficult to read.

What I could get out of it...I, of course, agree with my twin (cracklingkraken). I feel you should do some more research on both the job descriptions of LPN vs. RN, as well as the different schools. There is a wealth of knowledge you can find on the internet that will tell you the difference between those two programs. Also, keep in mind your area and what is in more demand. There is a push in some areas for BSN nurses. However, that doesn't mean you can't get your ASN first to save some money. Also, in my area, they are phasing out LPNs, which is why it is important to see what is in more demand in your area.
