For those of you who bridged from LPN to BSN how long did it take?

I have 3 prereqs to take before applying to the LPN program. I'm taking 1 this Summer and since chemistry is not being offered in the Summer, I was hoping to take chemistry and A&P in the Fall. I tried registering for both but could not because c...

Hi, unfortunately, Chem is not offered this Summer.

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...

Thank you for your response. I'm older and this would be a second career for me. Maybe taking it one step at a time will work for me too.

Hi all, I have 4 prereqs to go. A&P 1 and 2, Microbiology and Intro to Biochemistry. I'm thinking of taking Intro to Biochemistry and Microbiology together (during the Summer) and taking A&P 1 & 2 one at a time (next Fall and Spring) be...

Thank you all so much! I will consider everyone's suggestions.

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.

Have you considered CNA positions to get experience and your foot in the door? I know it is a step down but at least you'll be getting patient care experience.

Hi all, I start my nursing program (ASN) this coming Fall. The program at my school is structured so that students can sit for the LPN after the first year and graduate with the ASN the second year. My concern is that I will not be able to work in a ...

I did not know where to post this so I apologize in advance. I'm looking for a certificate program in Central Sterilization. There are jobs but I can't find anywhere schools that offer any type of program in NYC or Wisconsin. Is it part of another...

Hi all, I have a degree in another field and I'd like to register for an accelerated BSN program. However, I need to work full-time as I am a single mom with no other income. Has anyone been faced with the same circumstances and able to make it work...

Hi all, I'm in the process of registering for a CNA program. The state requires that I have tuberculosis and Hep. B vaccinations. I'm unemployed and have no insurance. How do I go about getting them. Also, are they expensive? Thank you.

Thanks, I've already looked into it.

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.

Hi Everyone, I'm thinking of switching careers from legal (paralegal) to nursing. I have several questions and hope that you guys can shed some light. I have a Bachelor's in paralegal studies. 1. Should I pursue the LPN before the RN degree? - My s...

Being a nurse has always intrigued me but never enough to pursue a career as one. However, I'm now at a point in my life where I want to do something meaningful, but I also need to be able to provide for my family (I'm a single mom and I have to work...
