Need advice for school...

Need advice......

I graduated LPN school back in 2013 and worked for a year. As a military spouse I ended up moving out of the country and won't be back until 2021. I've really been debating on going back to R.N. school but I don't have a lot of experience. Should I do a bridge from LPN to RN or should I start from scratch and do an RN program. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    If I were you, I'd work while overseas on completing as many of the applicable core courses, (English, Psych, Math, etc.) for a standard RN program. Most of these can be applied to other college majors if you change your mind.

    Then (if you still want to) I'd start fresh in a nursing program upon returning to the States.

    Bridge it.  Why waste time?  You will refresh your LPN skills while doing RN clinicals

    Either one - I'd apply to both and go with whichever one accepts you.  In my area the RN programs are so competitive.  While the pre-reqs are pretty much the same for both the RN programs and for LVN-RN bridge programs, the amount of applicants is usually significantly less for the bridge programs - so less competition as far as available spots in the program.
