Hello everyone! I am currently a 24yr/f LPN working for a year now on a surgery unit @ my nearby hospital here in Edmonton, Alberta. I completed the 2yr diploma program through NorQuest College and graduated in September of '08. My current dilemma is that I am very eager to continue my education process to become a RN BUT ...I do not want to go back to school here in Alberta. I have lived here my entire life and have been impatiently longing for a big change/move! So after my dream to go to school in Australia was shattered (approx $55,000 for 3 yrs tuition for LPN-RN bridging!), ive decided i want to move to British Columbia. Soooo anywho, my question for you helpful students and nurses out there is if you know any recognized LPN-BSN in class/distance bridging schools offered anywhere in B.C.? Preferably 2yrs or less and if not 3yrs? websites/links?Program info? Also if anyone has attended Vancouver Community College? I have browsed the web for schools but what love to get some help, advice or guidance on continuing my nursing journey in British Columbia. Thanks!
