Speaking as one who did the 'LPN to RN' bit....one advantage is you can earn while you learn. Another advantage is you have many Bridge programs to choose from. (One may be at the school where you got your LPN.)
I didn't go to my local JR/Comm. College. as the wait was horrendous. (I have heard they now have a lottery system there.)Thus, the Bridge program at SXU. True, that is a BSN program, NOT an ADN program. However, as I said, you can earn while you learn as an LPN. It doesn't hurt to be an LPN.
If Truman is close, by all means go there if you can.
