Would you go the traditional BSN route after LPN.

Published

I am just curious as to who would do this or who have already done this.

No I will be going the online route which will work for me. I graduated my LPN program August 16th 2013 and will be starting excelsior in Jan.

I've been thinking about that possibility. I haven't started my lpn program yet so I have time to figure out it. But in my research, doing the traditional bsn would take less time than doing lpn to rn then rn to bsn.

I'm doing LPN-RN and then RN-BSN. Reason being, it's much cheaper to get my LPN and ADN from my CC than it is to get my LPN and then go to through the LPN-BSN bridge here. Plus LPN-BSN is two more years which would be about the same amount of time to get my ADN, and then BSN. Plus this way I can work as an RN and have work pay for part of my BSN.

Around here my plan only takes slightly more than the traditional BSN. And our CC offers MUCH more clinical time than the BSN school does. Education isn't a race for me. I'll have my RN at 22 and my BSN at 23. Plenty of time to work as a BSN prepared nurse!

I am doing the LPN bridge to RN and then traditional BSN. That's the plan now. We have very little financial means and this is a way to step up in paygrade as I go. All the way to NP. :0)

Im a new lpn grad & plan to retake my a&p's since they are 5 years old & hopefully bridge october 2014 lpn-rn. I was looking at a lpn-bsn program but it will take 2 years & gonna cost too much out of pocket even with finanical aid each semester & since i just started working as a nurse(been a pct for a year) & have to work fulltime for the 1st year i just want to do that & may go parttime in october. The lpn-rn bridge im looking at is 3.5 semesters & its on one day a week from 8a-11p so i'll take that over going to class 3-4 days a week

I decided to do the LVN - RN program.. Graduated in June. Now looking into the BSN programs... I have had to look for programs that allow me to continue to work full time while also going to school.
