For someone that has NO pre requisites and is looking to become an RN. Can I do the LVN program, and then do the LVN to RN Bridge? LVN program is a year and the LVN to RN bridge is 18 monthsWhich totals up to about 2.5 years give or take. What do you guys think?

What do you guys think?If you are attending a vocational school, you may still have to take college level pre-requisite courses. Once you pass them (and in most cases, the pass needs to be at least B-B+ due to the competitiveness of many RN courses), and get accepted into the program, you may get credit for skipping fundamentals of nursing since you would already be a licensed practical nurse. All of this depends on the programs you are applying for-each school may have their own criteria.

That seems like a long time for a bridge if it did not. Most bridge programs I know of take 3-4 quarters to complete, not including all the required prereqs.
