   iluvmysailor replied to sunshine327's topic in Virginia Nursing

   I wanted to update here for anyone that was curious about information that the DON at the VB told me about the NLN accredidation. I was concerned because NLN says only the NN ADN program and the BSN...

3. MCI RN and LPN Program

   iluvmysailor replied to MrzJAZZEErn2b's topic in Virginia Nursing

   I agree - don't transfer in the middle. If you want the RN, take the prereqs and follow that plan. Getting your LPN to get your RN right after will take longer to your goal and cost more money. If...

10. "For Profit" Schools? (sorry so long!)

    iluvmysailor replied to iluvmysailor's topic in Virginia Nursing

    iluvmysailor replied to iluvmysailor's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thanks! I'm committing to the RN program here. I was only considering the LPN program because of time but I would want to go back to get my RN later. By pursuing my RN now, I won't have to go back...
