   LVN first or staight RN?

   Maryrose replied to jasnxs84's topic in LPN/LVN

   If you still want to become an RN, it’s much easier to get into a bridge program when you have already been an RN. Its difficult for most people to get their first nursing job. It’s great that it only took a few months to get it. Life is too short...

    You can do it! When I was going for my RN from my LVN, there were a few people in their 50s. It will be a breeze for you! Good Luck, Maryrose
