LPN to ADN transfer?

If I go through an LPN program from a private school can i still transfer into a comunity college advance rn program?

Many community colleges are grumpy about taking credits from private institutions. They may accept your license as proof of competency, but not allow the credits to transfer. It could be a very big deal. Transfer options are a big problem for every student - outside the agreements like ASU has with MCCD it's all hit or miss, ymmv. Even with those agreements, sometimes you have to prove the college agreed to accept the credits - they all seem to have ADD when it benefits the college...
