    LVN to BSN

    Just wondering if anyone else is trying this?
    I did read into what some people thought of this program (well after I was into all this) and found many negative feedback.
    Anyone succeeding? Having difficulties? I just want to hear some updates.
    I myself am having a difficult time with the program due to discipline.... I cant stick to schedule without some sort of authority over me.

    I did the LPN-BSN bridge program, but waaaay East of you. Yeah, you need dicipline, and lots of it: I worked FT and attended school FT the last 2 semesters (tuition was a bee-yatch).

    If you want something bad enough......you'll do it.

    its so comforting knowing someone who went through this.
    How long did it take you to accomplish this with working FT and school?
    Family too?

    Let's see......about 2 years part time, and 1 year (2 semesters) FT. I knew going in that the last 2 semesters were FT ONLY (classes taken concurrently), so I worked a whole lot when/if I could.

    Trust me, my husband had a frazzled wife on hand, but.....we got through it.

    so in your opinion,
    being that im only 20 and work full time (probably switching over to part time for schooling since I dont have much to pay for at the moment) and having to family of my own, I should be ok?

    Maybe! :rolleyes: You are thinking pretty good on the working part-time bit. Also, I am not sure how long of a wait you'll have getting into the clinical portion of class, so......

    Keep us posted on things, ok?
