If you took classes with LPNs (schools that bridge in LPNs will add the LPNs to the 2nd years of the RN program), do you feel the LPNs caught on a little easier to the information?
I'm an LPN going into a RN program and I'm looking for any gleam of hope that I will have a leg up on getting through my RN program. My program only allows ONE fail in 2yrs (long story, I got my LPN in a different state then I'll be going to school in so I'm doing a full 2 yrs) and all scores have to be above a 79%. I'm trying my best to convince myself that I will be ok.

It won't hurt that's for sure, but if you pass RN school, it's because you made time to study a lot, not because you were an lpn. Rn schools is about 2-3 times harder than lpn school because it adds more detail and move through the material much faster.
I didn't even go to LPN school, so, can't compare! I was a Navy Corpsman, that's enough to test out of NCLEX in Cali to get license. I'm hoping hands on experience will be helpful in RN school

I was in an LPN-to-RN program, and the theory classes were intense and required a huge amount of studying. The clinical portion was the part that less stressful.
