Any LPN-BSN University of Phoenix students out there?

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I am staring this program in December and wondered if anyone had any advise, tips or experiences they wanted to share?

Depends on how many pre-req's you bring in and how many you still need. Most you can CLEP out of. After you start the program it is about 2 years.

Specializes in Med/Surg, Progressive Tele.

Sacramento is the only campus in Calif that offers the LVN to BSN program. Each state has it own admission requirement. The paperwork took about an hour, however, waiting for all the schools you attended to send transcripts can take up to 3 weeks. It is a great program, fast paced, but once you are done, it is a great feeling to know you have a BSN.

I started this program 05/24/2011, and had been an LVN for only 3 years at the start time. My experience so far has been excellent. All of the Instructors have Masters Degrees or higher , the clinical rotations are hard if you work full time. We just finished our Acute Medical Surgical at Lodi Memorial Hospital, this was an amazing facility and our instructor is amazing!

We attend classes for Theory one night a week from 6pm-10pm in Modesto CA, So far clinincals have been on the weekends :).I am due to graduate 06/15/2015 and have completed 20 classes with only 10 more to go! Some of the classes are only 5 weeks while others are 9 weeks long. This program is a fast paced program with a lot of required study time involved, but you can do it! I statrted the program pregnant with twins. I delivered them and return back to school immediately, we have 4 kids total. I work full time at Kaiser Sacramento and I commute from Roseville, my drive is about 2 hours each way to class. I do not miss any of my kids activities! With that being said I sacrifice sleep and do all homework on my lunch break at work.

Good luck!

Specializes in long term.

@ Ali, my name is Danee, I wanted to know how many days do you attend school on clinical days. Is it still your original 6-10 and weekends or is it just weekends? I am curious, I am debating about what school I want to attend.

can you take the nclex -rn ADN once you pass peds and continue the bsn?

were you allowed to do any of your pre-reqs online? I am applying to the UofP lpn to bsn in Tempe, AZ and they told me I have to do them on campus. All of them are available online! I live in CA and would rather not move to do a once a week class when I can do it online until I am in the nursing cohort.

I know it's been awhile since this post, but since it's passed your planned graduation date I wanted to see how you feel about the program and education now? Do you feel that you were given good education or is basically all self-taught? Have you gotten an RN position and dos the BSN part help? Are you willing to day what salary range you are at now, with an RN/BSN? Thanks... Hoping to gain more insight in advance

Can you clarify if BOTH Modesto and Sacramento have the LVN to BSN program? I keep hearing different things.
