    LPN to RN Bridge at Academy for Nursing and Health Occupations (WPB, FL)

    CLUVRN replied to CLUVRN's topic in LPN to RN

    My experience in the program, I have to be 100% honest, was not the best. It is a very fast paced program, and you're expected to do a lot of self study. You can't let yourself fall behind AT ALL...

    LPN vs. RN program difficulty

    CLUVRN replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Students

    I completed an LPN program in 2009 and worked as an LPN for a couple of years prior to going back for my RN in 2013. For me, my LPN program was far easier than the RN program. In the LPN program, I...

    RN or no?

    CLUVRN replied to bruiised's topic in LPN to RN

    I would say take a year or so off to wind down from school and really soak in the responsibilities of your job and become the proficient nurse you were trained to be. If by then you can envision...
