Will lpn school make rn school easier?

[#wontgiveup]

Will going to LPN school make RN school easier for me, due to me failing 2 classes in my RN program, I get a 3rd chance by going to LPN school first, do you think this will help? MY school has 39% completion rate and 99% NCLEX pass rate on the first try. However, most student do not make it out of this school, do you think it is best to just change schools.

Will completing an LPN program make completion of an RN program easier? Maybe, but not necessarily...

I completed an LPN/LVN program in 2005 and an LPN-to-RN bridge program in 2010. To me, the LPN/LVN program had a higher degree of difficulty than the RN program. Your mileage may vary.

The lpn program has a 90% completion rate and 87% NCLEX pass rate. What do you think about the RN program having a 39% completion rate?

Wontgiveup,

Someone at this school is doing the equivalent of grabbing you by the heels, turning you upside down and shaking the money out of your pockets.

I don't see that you should be required by any school to become an LPN first in order to become an RN; even if you tanked a couple of courses.

Find another school. You are being played.

If this is the school that I am thinking about "BC" then yes that program is very difficult so I hear, if they fail out 60 percent of their students that should be a sure sign to run and run fast. It's best to find another program that suites your needs.
