LPN or ADN?

Hello,

I am a nursing student at my local community college and I am in my second year of prerequisites. I will be finished with my prerequisites in fall of 2006, but the wait to get into the actual nursing program is roughly 2008. At this point I am confused. Should I just go through the LPN program at a certified LPN school and start getting experience now? I have also gotten information on a 20-month RN school for an associates degree at Bryant and Stratton College. In a program this rushed, do you get all of the valuable information you need to pass the NCLEX as well as becoming a good nurse? Any info is greatly appreciated.

20 months is pretty common for RN school, for just the nursing courses. That was about how long mine was and I passed NCLEX first try.

I think that if you cant get into the LPN program as opposed to waiting, that would be a good idea.

Good luck!

The scholl that's 20 months is composed of the nursing sequence and the basic requirements, is this still a good idea?

I would check their accreditations. Are the approved by the National League of Nursing or another credentially agency? If so, it shouldn't be a problem. The ADN program was designed to start in the fall of one year and end in the summer about 20 months later, so most programs are less than 2 years, so that doesn't bother me. Most people get the basics out of the way and take nursing, so it seems longer for most of us.

I didn't know Bryant and Stratton now offers nursing! I thought they had Medical Assisting only for their clinical program. They are a private college, you will pay more than if you go to a community college or state university.

They have just started the nursing program at the end of last year. I hear it's a good school but costly. Do you know much about this school and if the credits are transferable to a 4-year university?

I don't know much about them except that they were way too expensive when I looked into a MA degree.
