LVN to ADN then BSN? Or just do BSN?

Published

I am graduating LVN school on Thursday. I have been applying to schools and I was wondering if ya'll could give me any input. I do eventually want to earn at least a BSN degree. Would it be faster if I just started as a Freshman at a University or go to a community college for ADN and do the transition? Thank you for any advice

Just do BSN.

Take the path of least resistance & go straight for your BSN. Unless there is a reason you need to go from LVN > ADN > BSN.

BSN, you will thank yourself later. BSN equals more job opportunities.

For those of us who had to support ourselves without going into major debt I liked the LPN-ADN-BSN. Tuition was cheaper and being able to work as a nurse resulted in a large amount of income while I was completing school.

Does it take longer to bridge? How much longer? Do you know anyone that has?
