Hi my name is Avneet and I am currently in the LVN program and I was wondering what was the main difference between the LPN to RN program and the LPN to BSN program? If you have any experience in any one of the programs please respond and tell me about your experiences..thanks so much.. =)

They may be the same, or maybe not. Is the LPN to RN program an associate degree.

RN can be associate, or bachelors. BSN just means Bachelors of Science in Nursing. It's a 4 year degree-which many areas require IF you plan on going into management. Both RN's take the same boards. BSN is additional classes.
