nervous!!

it doesn't hurt to just try and put your applications out there for bsn programs! are you looking at traditional or accelerated bsn programs? sometimes you just have to apply for more than one cycle. my other suggestion to you is to look at the concurrent program that ODU has where you earn your AAS in nursing and take the NCLEX and take your BSN classes online through ODU, then you transfer all your credits over from community college to ODU and you can earn a BSN that way. i would say there's not point in doing LPN bridging unless you're already an LPN, since you already know you want to be an RN. don't lose hope!

Go for your RN. I was an LPN 6 years before obtaining my RN and honestly LPN was good for the experience but I felt like it was kind of a waste of time because I knew I wanted my RN degree. Go straight for your RN. If the schools are really competitive that you are applying to then it may take a few years to get in but DON'T give up! You can do it! I am sure you will be fine. Don't just get set on one school either. I would apply to a few so you have a better chance of getting in! I would go for your ASN and then go back for your BSN or MSN. I am bridging straight to my MSN from my ASN and it is only taking me 19 months! It would have been a waste to go back only for my BSN! GOod luck to you :)
