Should I consider an LPN program...

Hi, so I applied to two school's last year. Applying to 3 more this year. Debating to apply to a BSN program as well. Not eligible for 1 ADN program and 1 ABSN program. Able to apply to another ABSN program, but it take another year of prerequisites.

My GPA is 2.75 with my Bachelor's Degree and 3.1 with my science classes at a local community college.

Have B- in AP1, C+ in AP2, B in Microbiology, B in Chemistry, and A in College Algebra. Also B+ in Intro to Psych. Taking Lifespan and Stats this coming Spring.

I was debating to apply to an LPN program. When I talked to the recruiter for the program was trying to persuade me last year to keep looking into other program's. The LPN program is the cheapest in the State at $30,000 and a 18 to 20 month program.

Thoughts and feedback?

    I think applying to a LPN program would be a great opportunity though I am unable to comment on the price of the program. You may consider a LPN-BSN at a later point in time.

    If you decide to stick with trying to get into a RN program of some sort, you may want to consider retaking some of the courses for a higher grade or at least A&P 2 if at all possible. Getting the highest grades possible will help you be as competitive as possible. Best wishes!

    I'm currently in LVN school, but I'm taking it at a community college where tuition is MUCH cheaper. I'm paying no more than $3000 for the whole program. Does your area offer it at a public community college? I think going through the LVN/LPN route is a great idea. It will be an easier transition to the RN program, plus you'll have had more clinical experience than the RN students!

    Hmmm it cost me less than 25k and only 18 months to get my BSN at a private university...
