thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences ive decided to go for the lpn program first which is 12 months and the same school has the RN program in 12 months but since i have my A.S it will be shorter , unfortunately i went to 2 universities here in fl and i have to wait 1 year to enter 2 their program because i have to take more classes to be accepted which its going to be 3 years for me to be an RN , right now i dont have any financial problem but you never know , in 3 years everything can happen. what i dont want its to waste more time , and i think lpn will be a good start to reach my goal , which is to be RN.

i wish i could go straight to RN but here in miami its really hard to enter a genetic rn program , i think im going to do the lpn program for 14 months and later i can do my RN online for 1 year which is going to take me less time than waiting to be accepted to a genetic program and then the 2 years of the rn program.

thanks for your answer , right now i dont have to work but like you said i will learn the basics of being a nurse by doing lpn first . thanks

hi , i finished my Science Associates in genetic RN in miami dade college and i applied to 2 colleges and didn't accept me because i have a gpa of 3.4 unfortunately it gets tougher to enter this program every year , i was looking for the possibility to finish my AA and enter a university but i will have to wait 1 year or more , what do you guys think its the best for me , do the lpn program in 14 months and after that apply to the RN bridge program , having all the credits i have i think it would be faster for me finishing the lpn program and graduating from RN and lpn in 2 years and 2months instead of waiting 1 year to enter the program and 2 more to graduate . please help me thank you
