Go for your BSN. I was an LPN and I bridged to ASN-RN.There are some places that still wont consider me for employment because I do not have a BSN. Thankfully, I went back to school one week after I graduate and will have my BSN by June.
The first semester is online and you have have to drive down one or two days. The next 2 semesters you have class mon-fri the first week and after that every monday. Yes we had someone between 75-90 hours of precepting. We also had about 150 clinica...

I cant tell you much about the program but this school merged in 2009. Coosa Valley Tech and Northwestern Tech. Maybe you can search on both school individually and see if you can find any info. Good Luck!

1. Depends on your area but most places yes besides rural hospitals will normally hired LPN's 2. I don't think anytime in the near future, but I would guess probably not. 3. Yes, its would give you better pay and more opportunities(LTC,HH, Hospice, D...
I would love to hear that I wont have to write any papers in my RN-BSN program. I would love to hear that all of the US have a compact license when I start travel nursing. I would love to hear that I will get immediately accepted into the acute/famil...
