You learn more extensive/intensive pathophys, for one thing. IV stuff.

more psych stuff, more management stuff, deeper critical thinking skills

Your instructors are taller.

Assessment skills...

More paperwork like research papers.

i think it might be much more helpful to also post your question over at the lpn-to-rn forum, since you will receive more responses from current rn students who have actually completed an lpn program. after all, only an rn or rn student who attended an lpn program can accurately answer this question and relay the differences between the two programs.

you are not going to obtain a completely precise answer from an rn who had never attended lpn school. additionally, you will not get an accurate answer from an lpn who has never been in an rn program. you really need to speak to someone who has done both programs. good luck to you!

I don't know!!!!!!!I've never been an LPN!!!!!!!!!!

LPN , was fairly easy, I worked full time and went to LPN full time, I maintained a 3.5 GPA, I just completed the RN Program (I did all the pre-reqs and co-reqs Prior to entering the program) and I just graduated with a 3.12, I also worked full time duing this time. Yes I only had the core classes but they were the toughest I have ever taken. I studied at least 30 hours a week,

The full time RN students Drop out rate in the program was 100% only the ones that got their Chemesty and and advanced Phys. (and the others) out of the way graduated.

I only made it because of the support of my Husband AND I refused to give up, Like my one friend in school always said "failure is not an Opption"

good luck.

and expect more "critical thinking"

i was an lpn for 24 years and then went back to school, got my bsn in 2001 and received my masters last july. you learn more patho and go more into depth. since i went back after being out of school for so long, i had to start from scratch. today there are many bridge programs that help lpns become rns which are excellent programs. we have several rns where i work that have gone through those and they are excellent nurses. good luck, nursing has changed so much, and it is a wonderful and fulfilling profession.
