Lvn RN the same as BSN RN??

Nursing Students ADN/BSN

Published

This may be a silly question, but Is the scope of practice any different between a LVN-RN and a BSN-RN? Also, what is the purpose of going to school for the LVN, if the schooling doesn't include preparation for the RN role and you have to take a bridge program to become a LVN-RN? I am a BSN student and I've always wondered....

Yawl are yungunns.

Oh dear. What has been seen simply cannot be unseen. :roflmao:

Not all of us can drop everything in our lives to pursue a BSN degree.

Eventually you would have to do that anyway.

Most of us Adn Rn's have to drop everything again to pursue the Bsn.

I tell all the 18 to 22 year olds to just pursue the Bsn.

No need to get comfortable and live life only to be told 10 years later that you have to go back to school to stay employed.

Speak for yourself. I'll be 35 in a few months and I can totally keep up with all those young little whipper snappers. My mullet totally rocks their socks off and I'm >

NO, No, no! I wanna see the mullet, you hijacker, before they close this thread.

But here's the difference: as an associate degree RN, it was personally easier for me to return to school to pursue the BSN degree now that I had a flexible work schedule, an income in the upper five figures, and no one around to spew negativity or plant the seeds of doubt.

When I was an 18-year-old with an inflexible minimum wage job, a weakened sense of self, and no parental support for attaining an education, pursuing a BSN degree would have been an uphill battle.
