Hey, I've been looking through a lot of threads on here lately and finally decided to join. I think this is a good place for extra insight. So I'm currently a freshman at Wayne State University, majoring in pre-nursing. I've always wanted to be a nurse and get my BSN. After doing a little research and reading through some threads I got the impression that being LPN would be a great foundation for my BSN. Is that true? I know I've heard that they're being phased out, but that's not my ultimate goal. I ultimately want to obtain my MSN. But I really want to start working in the field now. And lpn only takes a year. So I was thinking that I could finish my pre reqs then go and do the lpn program. Work for a little bit to get financially stable and then go back to school to get my BSN. Is that a good idea? How long would it take? I appreciate all answers and comments, I just want some outside input before I make a decision. Thanks!
