Is rn foundations the same as lpn foundations?

NICUmiiki, DNP, NP · Jul 21, 2012

Hey all, I was enrolled in a RN program a few months ago and I didn't pass foundations. I still have my books and I wanted to know how similar or different is rn fundies to the lpn fundies? Can I use my old books to study? I just don't want to go too much off track....thanks in advance

It really depends on the program. At my school the former ADN program Fundamentals did caths and IMs, but the BSN program Fundamentals only covers regular CNA stuff.

The students were already admitted into the ADN program when they took Fundamentals. We take Fundamentals as a prereq, so we can't do anything that requires state approval. We're limited to CNA stuff in our Fundamental's class. That's what I mean it depends. Try getting your hands on the syllabus, or better yet, ask a current student.
