is it true that if you do your lpn then you can be placed into the second year of nursing school and skip the first year? I think you'd have to take an exam and then you would be placed but if the lpn courses are very similar to nursing school's first year then passing the bridge exam would be doable and you can enroll into the second year (3rd semester) of nursing school correct? Anyone done this or experienced this? Let me know!!!
