3. LPN to BSN bridge How Long

   nwbsoon replied to nwbsoon's topic in LPN-RN

   I have 4 prereqs before I can apply to the LPN program. 7 prereqs before I can apply to the ADN program. I think I'll do the LPN first because clinicals are shorter and I figure I can work as a nurse sooner and get some experience and confidence be...

7. Prereqs - Is A&P That Difficult?

   nwbsoon replied to nwbsoon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you both for responding. All I have left are science classes. My advisor suggested that taking too many sciences at once can be overwhelming, especially if taken with A&P. Having to work full time doesn't help.

    Hi, I also have a Bachelors in another field. How long did you work at the hospital before they helped you with tuition? Also, why didn't you go straight to the second degree BSN instead of the Associates Program. Thanks.
