LVN or RN program?

Hi everyone!

I have been taking my pre-req courses for a while and only have one left before being able to apply to nursing school for an RN program. However, am applying to the spring 2012 semester, and I am told by many people not to expect to get in my first try. On the other hand, an advisor suggested I apply to LVN school for the fall semester. I took my test and did really well, and was told my chances of getting in are really good.

So now the question: if I do get in to the LVN program, so I start that and get started in nursing or do I hold out for the RN program? I just don't want to wait around for another year before I start nursing school! I would definitely do the bridge program and become an RN as soon as possible, but at least then I could work while I'm waiting for school! I keep hearing mixed reviews about starting as an LVN, so I'm really torn!

Thank you!

    Hi!! I was in the same boat as you. I decided to go to Lpn school, i absolutely love it. I do plan on going for my Rn when I graduate in December. I am currently at a vocational school so i do not have to take those prerequisites. They have the bridge program which is 18 months long. I made the right decision, it will get my foot in the door!!!
