Lpn continuing education

Title says it all. I'd just like some advice from those who have been here.

I want to go back to school for my RN BSN. I'd prefer to skip over the associates all together and go straight for my BSN. Even my professor said just go straight to BSN and skip the ADN all together.

I was considering either Lehman or Mount Saint Mary as my transfer to school as they offer the program I want.

Has anyone gone there? What was your Experienece? Any advice?

There's also this 1+1 program offered at Monroe college but it's ADN to BSN. has anyone attended these programs? How was it? Any advice?

In general id just like to know if it's better to go straight to BSN and skip ADN.

Do they have lpn-bsn programs in your area? In my area they only have lpn-rn. If you want your BSN they make you start from scratch. If it's an option I say go for it. In my area they want nurses with BSNs

They do have a few around. Some close enough that I've considered going to. I really just want to apply and go straight for my BSN and knock it out as quickly as possible.

This what i'd recommend doing b/c I'm a cheap skate....

I would take an LPN to ADN course which is 6months to 1 year. For me in the midwest that was LESS than $6,000 (and I had to do 1 full year b/c I'd been OUT of school 2+ years. The people who graduated in less than 2 years only had to go 6 months). Then you should find a hospital to employ you that offers great tuition reimbursement. An RN to BSN is 1 year and between $12,000 to $25,000.

When I was looking at LPN to BSN transitions in the midwest it was going to be a full 3 years of added school, lots of repeat nursing classes, and $25,000+.

Forget that!

That actually sounds really great! The program at one of the colleges offers the 1+1 program for LPNs to RN ADN first then BSN. The only downside is its full time no other options. 10hr days.

But I just want the cheapest and fastest most effective way possible.
