LPN -BSN...Alberta - B.C.. i will appreciate any help i can get:)

[kelz24]

Hello everyone!

I am currently a 24yr/f LPN working for a year now on a surgery unit @ my nearby hospital here in Edmonton, Alberta. I completed the 2yr diploma program through NorQuest College and graduated in September of '08. My current dilemma is that I am very eager to continue my education process to become a RN BUT ...I do not want to go back to school here in Alberta. I have lived here my entire life and have been impatiently longing for a big change/move! So after my dream to go to school in Australia was shattered (approx $55,000 for 3 yrs tuition for LPN-RN bridging!), ive decided i want to move to British Columbia.

So my question for you helpful students and nurses out there is if you know any recognized LPN-BSN in class bridging schools offered anywhere in B.C.? Preferably 2yrs or less and if not 3yrs? websites/links?Program info? Also if anyone has attended Vancouver Community College? I have browsed the web for schools but what love to get some help, advice or guidance on continuing my nursing journey in British Columbia.

ahhh, you're just tired of the cold and dark in Edmonton. :)

I know Lethbridge isn't BC, but do they have an LPN-RN bridge? At least you'd be warmer there.

I don't miss the dark and cold winters of Edmonton.
