i am a lpn with 6 years experience due to graduate as an rn this summer. the hospital i work for is counting this as "experience" and i will be hired as a level ii nurse. i guess it varies but experience can't hurt.

I totally agree with the above posts. I did the LPN program 6 years ago. Now I am in an RN program and I feel I had a definate edge! It's true you will be considered an experienced nurse when you graduate as an RN:twocents:

Hi I am a LPN currently enrolled in a 2 year program ~ will be done in July!!! I started with everyone else (didn't do the bridge) because I received a scholarship for the entire program and it was paid for in full. I think it was beneficial becaus...

I myself was a CMA for 12 years. I once had the same feeling as you. i looked into many schools. Since there was nothing available to bridge to nursing courses or challenge exams, and believe me I looked, I enrolled in Lpn schooland started from s...

HI LPNs can work in a great deal of settings. I currrently work in LDRP taking care of mostly postpartums and in the well baby nursery. I also worked in med surg for a year. However my first job was in a MD office, family practice. Some CMAs there...

Well.....I started on a med surg unit as a new nurse. The experience is most definately worthwhile especially if you are pursuing a RN degree at some point. It will help you greatly. I stayed on that unit about 1 year than transferred to LDRP where...
