LPN to RN bridge or straight to BSN?

Published

Specializes in MDS/PPS.

I can't decide....

Honestly, it will take me about the same amount of time, maybe a semester or 2 more for the BSN, I am an LPN now, and have a dood deal of gen ed classes done.

any ideas?

Depends on cost, as well as what you can get into. Will work pay for your tuition?

Yes, as it so happens, the college is right across the street from my hospital....and they pay 100% of nursing tuition.

go for it; the lpn to rn/bsn course will have a bridge program more than likely......

the one I'm looking at (University of Oklahoma) has an LPN-BSN bridge that takes 2-3 semesters or you can go the community college ASN route for 2 semesters. Kind of a no-brainer if you ask me! That is assuming that all the pre-req's and gen-eds are out of the way.

Unless money is a problem, go straight to a BSN if that is your ultimate goal. It took me another 10 years and having to retake a couple of courses and add more to finish my BSN after going the ADN route.
