Which is faster?

Which is usually the quicker route. LPN to RN at a hospital but you receive an associates or at a community college. I have no college credits. I'm in a vocational school for LPN

Hospitals don't typically have nursing programs. Some may be assiciated with diploma programs, but these are few and far between. Normally a certificate or diploma is issued at graduation. Associates degrees are granted by community colleges. All nursing programs have a time line based on how fast you complete prerequisites for admission, how long you wait for admission, and then the length of the program itself, so it is hard to predict just how long it will take since all of this info can't be known in advance.
