not quite sure sorry but i would assume either that or nurse praticioners that have worked in the field for a long tim. but im not quite sure.

I had so many people tell me that doing the LVN program would be a waste of time and to just go straight through for my RN :p

I think alot of the reason you get that advice is that it used to be that the community college and technical college credits for most LPN courses where not transferrable to the RN (espcially BSN) programs. That seems to be very UNCOMMON these days. ALL credits I take at my school (A technical college) are tranferable to nearly any tech or community college in the state and even the University of WA, but locally this has only happend in the last few years.

Mine are all transferrable...but there is one school in our area that isn't. I don't think the people that attend there know that. Just goes to show that you really need to research these things before you pay your money. All the people that fail our program head on over there :uhoh21:
