At least here in California, there's lengthy waitlists or lotteries which don't guarantee admission into a direct RN program.
Plus, let's assume that someone doesn't have their general education finished. LVN to RN bridge programs allow nurses to bypass that particular requirement and obtain a certificate instead of a degree and you're still eligible for the boards and would receive the same education that a ADN nurse would have received, minus the general education that isn't applicable to nursing whatsoever.
So what's the deal? I've seen people say it's better to go straight for RN, but why?
I am glad to fin this thread. I am a student working on my pre-reqs but cannot for the life of me figure which route i should go. My scheduling indicates that I only need 2 more semesters to become an RN which is not much more time so i think i will go that route just to get it out of the way.
