I will find out in a few months if I have been accepted into a local lpn program. I recently read on another board that U of Phoenix recently added the Lpn to Rn into there other nursing programs. Have any of you graduated or had friends who graduated from there. If so, was it a good program, is it competitive, and is it limited access? Thanks so much for all your responses.

Can anyone tell me whether or not you can attend these schools and get licensed in Florida? I am not sure. I went on the state's website but didn't see anything about these schools. What needs to be done if you do graduate from one of these schools?

The lpn program is a lot easier to get into in my area. I know it doesn't make much sense. I only need three prereqs to apply for the ADN program, but I would have to wait 6 months to apply and if i was accepted another 6 months before the program actually starts. And the program takes 2 years total. my husband would like to go back to school for nursing also. he can't leave his job until i get a job paying close to what he makes. he wants to be out of his job by the time our son gets in kindergarten, which doesn't give me enough time for the RN. so i figured if i do LPN (11 month program) and eventually do the bridge option it would work out better for our family. BTW, my legal degree is an associates. i hope this makes sense. C. :stone

Let me be the first to congratulate you! Congrats! I hope that you learn a lot and really are happy with the position. C.

Hello, I am a paralegal, or was a paralegal, I am a stay at home mom now. I am considering enrolling in an LPN program in my town. I was wondering if you all knew or thought that my legal degree might be helpful in allowing me to have a decent starting salary. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks C.
