Hi i am a 39 yo, wanting to go and get my bsn. Just wondering if all the papers, tests, etc if it is worth it. I wish they still had the diploma program, i really feel that it is a choice that has been taken away from nurses. I think alot of prospective students bach at the 4yr program rather than the 2yr diploma program. I am currently a LPN and love my job but would like to continue my studies. I have been checking into programs here on Vancouver island and it seems they are changing their cirriculum making it harder for LPN's to access to 2nd year. As of 2008 LPNs who want to bridge in to the bsn program will find themselves doing the 4 yr program. Any thoughts to any of my questions thanks
