I appreciate the long blog entry. It's very informative. What is the current status of LPN to RN since 2007? Currently, does NY State accept an LPN that failed nursing school in the final semester of clinicals? I have seen the LPN to RN route is not valid in all states. See http://www.indstate.edu/nursing/images/icons/states-that-recognize-isu-lpn-bs.GIF This is for the LPN to RN offered here at Indiana State http://www.indstate.edu/nursing/programs/bs/lpn-bs/lpn-bs.htm
