I am hoping that you are able to help me. I am currently an LPN, looking to obtain my BSN in nursing . I currently am working towards my associates degree,I am finishing my prerequisites, and I am looking for guidance on which way is the best way for me to pursue my goal. I have done soooo much research that now I am not confident that I am going about it the right way. I am unsure if it is best to obtain my associates then take an online RN to BSN , or if there is any programs that offer me to go LPN to BSN. I enjoy the classroom setting, but if there are online programs that are acceptable by the board, I would consider them . Please help me, I am so discouraged!

thank you all so far for the sound advice.. truth of the matter is I just really want to go to school! and instead of the process being easier it is much more complicated !I have researched in depth all of the schools in the area. None of the Fortis credits transfer, they only have an articulation agreement with Kaplan University for BSN, but from my research it is another 30k! so in total 60 K for me to get my schooling thru Fortis, which is A LOT of money! Riverside also as an articulation agreement with ODU, but ODU is super competitive. I am looking into Thomas Nelson Community College , which means a lot of prereq's , which may be worth it in the long run? especially if I want to continue with schooling. At least the credits transfer, and it is half the cost. Has anyone out there encountered this issue with school? When you finally decide to further your education, so many road blocks! I am seriously starting to get discouraged, maybe I should pursue something else.... but nursing is my calling ! I am looking for a quick, good program .. and maybe what I need is to invest more time into becoming an RN , instead of looking for a quick process. I just want to make sure I make the right decision so that I will be confident and competent as an RN .

Hello all fellow nurses, i am new to this site but have always used it to read up on reviews. I am desperately looking for some advice regarding nursing school. I currently am an lpn, attended ecpi in virginia. I want to pursue my nursing career but i am torn on where to attend. I have researched all schools in Newport news area...and i have found fortis college which is rn with an associates and riverside with rn but diploma. My goal is to get bachelor's and later on my masters. I am looking for any advice in which school to pick. Fortis has bad reviews , credits do not transfer unless it is kaplan but their program is fast paced and done in 15 months??? Once you graduate does it really truly matter which school you attended or simply your knowledge of what was learned?? Ugh so torn! Please help with some advice!
