LPN to BSN program?

Hi everyone, this is my first post (even though I'm a long time lurker of the forums), so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place.

I'm absolutely dedicated to earning my BSN & have spent the past year my exploring different options on how to go about it. It seems the most productive path for me would be to become an LPN & then go for an LPN to BSN program. I'd be so appreciative if anyone has gone this route, or knows anything about it. I have a fear of for-profit tech schools, and unfortunately my community college doesn't offer an LPN program. Is pursuing an LPN program a viable option to eventually earn my BSN? Will I actually be able to transfer into a BSN program? Or will other colleges & future employers only want to see that I started with an ASN? Thanks for any information!

    LPN-to-BSN programs do exist. However, LPN-to-ASN programs are more numerous and tend to have lower barriers to entry than their LPN-to-BSN program counterparts.

    The LPN-to-BSN program in my area required 60+ credit hours worth of prerequisite coursework and would only grant me 14 en bloc transfer credits for my LPN license. Instead I ended up enrolling in an LPN-to-ASN program, then completing an online RN-to-BSN program.
