ok, finally I think I have the answer. I do NOT have to go through the LPN in order to get the RN. I can go straight for the BSN and save the time it would've taken me to complete the LPN. That is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much :)

ok, well I do have a cna. So will this help me get into a nursing school. Like would it push up the long waiting list or anything. I did'nt realise that having that would help.. Could that certification be classified as completion of any of the pre classes? Iam so glad I found you! Thank you so much!

hello all, first i want to say that i am new here, and am learning all the ends and outs. in any case, as stated iam in need of direction. i have plans to begin lpn classes in may. but i am not so sure after reading through this site that i am starting in the right direction. my goal is to become a nurse practioner, but i have no real idea where to begin. if im doing the right thing taking th lpn course or not. any starting point is fine with me as long as the end result is what i hope to acheive. i am totally confused however. should i be going for an associates or something instead. who knows. i pray that someone can help me and soon so that i don't make the wrong move. i don't want to spend wasted time and make this journey any longer than i have to. i am so excited and i want to stay that way you know what i mean. getting discouraged is the worst thing that could happen right now. so if any one here could help me getting on the right path i would be so thankful. have a great day! and thank you for reading. dixie:typing

Ok, well I posted a thread that didn't come out the way I had hoped. So, I'll attempt this one more time.. I am trying to find advice. I am curious as to where I need to begin in order to become a Nurse Practioner. I was told that I would need to start with first getting my LPN's. Is this correct? Or is there a program at the ground level that I could get into right away. Iam willing to do what ever it takes, I just don't want to be lead in the wrong direction, as this would only make my road alot longer. So, where do I begin? Thanks so much! Dixie:bugeyes:
