Should I do the lvn-rn route???

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

It has been my dream to do nursing for forever. I have even shadowed many nurses to make sure that this is the path I want to do. A lot of tragic life experiences has distracted me from getting the grades I know I can get. I have a C in anatomy. C in microbiology. B in chemistry. A in nutrition. I dropped microbiology and physiology. Since some schools have a certain requirement on the amount of science grades you can drop; should I take the lvn-rn route instead of just applying to an RN program right away since my grades are not that competitive right now? Thanks!

I would recommend you do the Lpn/LvN route..once you are successful you can take a bridge program to become RN.

good luck !!!!

Thanks! But due to the fact that I dropped 2 sciences and got 2 C's. Do you think I will be able to get into a bridge program? I am worried that due to this I would be stuck as an LVN. I live in California by the way.

You need to look for the school that will take your C some schools will ...... good luck

in my experience once you have an LPN license they will take your grades from the programs also into consideration
