rn,lmt- I appreciate your input. Considering that you've been through LVN, RN, and BSN, your thoughts and experiences are valuable to those of us still finding our way. In fact, I was hoping that you found your LVN experience helpful in RN training, because I almost didn't accept LVN and was going to wait for RN acceptance since I am done with all prereqs. Your message makes me glad I am going the LVN route 1st. Thanks!!

I certainly plan on bridging to RN when I graduate. Thanks for your insight. I personally think LVN experience will help with RN school when the time comes.

Thanks for the input. Could there be any advantages to LVN-RN vs straight to RN in knowledge or experiences?

Hi there- I want to start by saying that I begin an LVN course in a couple of weeks. I am curious if people that go through LVN and then bridge to RN have any benefits(any kind at all) over those that do RN only. Maybe some of you have acquaintances, coworkers, family etc. to compare the two paths. I know some go into LVN first because its often faster to get in there. But other than that benefit, any others? I realize that either way you end up an RN, but this question nags at me. Thanks for any input:p
