LPN TO RN Program

First thing to decide if you want a regular brick and mortor nursing program or an online LPN to BSN program.

i would like a brink and mortor program if possible !

Now that you have decided you want a regular nursing program held at a college/university, go to your state's BON and see what nursing schools are approved by it. Then you have to do your research and decide which program best fits your needs. Once you have narrowed it down to a few, ask around on AN to see what others feel about the school. Good luck.

thank you very much lady.

Hey Nurse Ivan, I'm in the same boat. I'm an LPN looking to get RN but not sure where. Do you have any advice?

Maybe visit the websites of your local colleges and see what they offer? I was looking at the website for my current school as I had done several times before, just wishing that I could go back to school. I was surprised to find out that they were offering an online bridge program. I jumped all over that and will be finishing in May. GL!

OK ppl your questions are way toooooooo vague. What stste are we talking about? Consider your personal schedule& commitments, the prerequisites and admission requirements, etc, etc.

Does anyone know which states have limited enrollment for nursing programs and which states don't? I know that Ohio doesn't have a limited enrollment but I moved and am know in Illinois. I am currently an LPN working in LTC and would like to get my RN but do not want to have to take an entrance exam or be on a waiting list.

A bachelors degree in nursing (BSN) is a university degree in science. Normally, to be eligible to apply to a university, one must have taken certain courses. After that hurtle is passed, there are certain requirements for the nursing program. There does not appear to be a standard for every progam. Some have more requirements and some less. I believe most require the student to take the TEAS test.

You might try a private school/universiy. Sometimes paying an exhorbitant amount of tuition makes entering the program easier. I would first make sure the school/university is accredited and accepted by your state's BON.
