I agree with this perspective. For me, it makes the most sense. I spent yrs working on prereqs and getting my AS in Sports Med (same prereqs as nursing ADN) but i got sick of waiting (and bartending) so i have chosen to pay for an lvn program bc like you said, ill atleast be making money and gaining experience while i wait. Also, the lvn program i chose fits my family schedule very nicely. Lvns in my area start around 27/hr and top put at 40+/hr. There are tons of bridge programs for lvn to bsn in my area as well. The lvn route is "longer" but when you factor in waiting times and the money im NOT making while i wait, lvn makes the most sense for me and my family. Im making a better wage while i wait and building my skills and resume 👌 i like it lol

I have a friend in Ohio who's daughter went for her LPN which took 12 months, then a "Bridge RN program" immediately after getting her LPN, that took another 12/15 months, (all at the same private school) she then went for the BSN and just finished her RN BSN, it took her 3.5 years total! She is now entering into the Nurse Practitioner program this fall. She just kept going!

I think if you’re straight out of high school living with your parents with hardly and or no bills, and your parents are paying for school, DEFINITELY go the BSN- it’s a no brainer! However, if you’re someone who’s changing careers and or someone who still needs to work to pay your bills then maybe LPN route is best as it allows you to graduate in a year & have a huge increase in salary and with that increased salary you can fund your PN-RN ETC. You’ll also feel like you have an advantage while in the bridge program because you have that background experience of LPN.

I’m currently at a university and I work full time as a tech in the ER. My cost of living is becoming intense. I would rather take the LPN route. The program is allowing me to transfer my pre-requisite classes that I’ve already done which will shorten my length of time in school when I go for my RN bridge program. I would rather take the LPN route because while I’m finishing up some classes at the end of the day I’ll already be a nurse making a decent income that saves me from living check to check working as a tech. Plus it’s a great look on your resume for experience in the hospital and LPNs have tons of job opportunities in my state. Don’t listen to people who speak very negatively about LPNs because it’s actually a wonderful role as a way of starting your nursing career. I work with a lot of them who love what they do and bridging to RN is a breeze for them as an LPN cause they can finish their degree while have the ability to afford housing or apartments and other necessities.

Great video! Its also important to consider, can you work and earn money while in the program? In the bsn straight program no, but the other two, yes. Also can you get part of your education paid for? In the rn to bsn, most people i know get their adn at the community college, and get hired right away as an rn. Then their employer pays for the rn to bsn while they continue to work. This can also be true of lpns working and their employer pays for their rn. Now... free is the way to go! Especially when school is free AND you are being paid to work in your field at the same time! Deletes a huge chunk of change from those totals in the lpn-rn-bsn and the rn-bsn options.

Relying on your employer to pay for your education is not wise. Programs are cut all the time. Do not hold your breath on employers paying for your education, they just drag their feet.

The waits aren’t really that long tho. You can apply to Rn or even bsn after taking the specific courses they want. For most bsn programs now they want A&P 1-2, microbiology, college math and statistics, sociology, psychology and developmental psychology, and electives but you can APPLY to the school as soon as you get most of these courses done just as long as they’re done by the time the program is about to start. For an ADN program you don’t even need all of those to start. You can start at around 1.5 years or so and if you take a diploma Rn program it would be cheaper.

I took them all but will do LPN first for time and financial reasons. The good thing is at my school LPN is 1 year of RN so you just complete two additional semesters.

I'm in California both ADN and BSN are almost the same in competitiveness so might as well really try for the better grades and go BSN. I heard LVNs have a hard time bridging where I live from competitiveness so with the good pay and having to get prereqs done people get stuck at LVN. It already pays really well though so it's not bad.

I did the RN to BSN route almost exactly this way. I was able to work as an RN while finishing my BSN and paying toward my student loans. It did take me about 7 years but that BSN program was a breeze for many reasons, including I was taking all my co requisites while in the ADN/RN program.

Smart cookie! I don’t think I’ll go further than my ADN. In my area the BSN takes 2 years!! Like why does it take that long, I’m already a nurse!
@ronniern6120Ай бұрын
@@yourfavnurseb9699 thats about how long it took for me but when I say it was a breeze, everything was group projects, holistic health class, music, leadership, communications; just very basic classes and not as intense as the ADN. Almost no papers or research. You just had to show up for the 3 hour evening lecture classes and participate in them. Those 2 years went fast but annoying because it was so easy, not at all challenging enough, and we were just read to be finally be done. It was super easy though.

Wow this video is very informative but my one of my nursing instructor went the first route. She did her classes two at a time and now she has a master and full time instructor. Community College of Philadelphia are $159 per credit hr. So your preq equal to about 6,000 or 7,000. They accept student twice a year. Regular and advanced placement. But there are many community College in Pennsylvania that offer nursing. One that admits three times and has a part-time program. Camden Lpn program is 8,459. The Rn program is 17,452 and its diploma program. We still have diploma program as well in Pennsylvania.

Wow, that's crazy. My community college requires pre-reqs for LPNS: all the humanities/gen-eds including AP1 & Micro and they all transfer into the RN bridge. Our total cost is more per credit hour but less credits needed. We only need 4 classes to bridge. I have other degrees so my LPN transferred in credits and did the same for the RN. For me it cost about $12,000. But for students who have to take their pre-reqs for both RN and LPN programs together it's about $23-25,000.

I'm attending a University in Los Angeles it's a bit different than how u depicted it here, but you are correct 100% generally what u showed here in your video. I am signed up to obtain an associates degree and get my LVN certificate at the same time it's a 17 month course. it's expensive but it's good for me it gets me into the nursing field efficiently it's a 38'000$ program because it is very thorough and it's a full-time course it's got a&p and math and comprehension and reading etc and volunteer work clinical etc.. all built into the program I am extremely excited about the program and of course, excited about becoming a Nurse and a professional health care worker. it's something I've wanted to do for a good while and now am finally able to do it. I am fortunate that my program is only 17 month's and I earn an associate's degree as well as an LVN certificate, I do plan to get my R.N. / ADN once I begin working.

Idk how much RAs make compared to RNs but I feel like the nursing degree options you up to more specialties and job settings and with experience you can do agency or travel which increases the pay. But I e also heard of agency RTs, have you ever done this? I think PA school would be interesting, I would do that over NP.

That’s absolutely wild I live in California … Fresno to be exact (in between LA and San Francisco) I’m at the community college level for my LPN Program . There are 6 pre reqs that’s about 3 years. Most of the students I have talked to have spent that amount of time because you have no choice. you have to complete these pre reqs before you can even apply. It’s crazy you can just go straight into the program there where you are at.

Now I see why join the military to offset costs. $19k in the 1st column is a shock. Heaven forbid if you're not a resident. If you're working- is it common to get tuition reimbursement as part of the benefit pkg? You should do this presentation at the high school level before people start spending $$ & time. I've always wondered what was the catch of those pgms that advertise heavily.

Whew. I did a comparison of the local schools in my area. There are alot of community programs that cover nursing schooling. So it's common to get your LPN with little to no money owed. I'm in Illinois. Springfield has an accelerated program that lasts 9 months. And the LPN to ADN bridge program at the CC is 1 year. ADN to BSN is 4. ADN Nursing program by itself is a little over 9K. I'm 2.5 hours from St Louis on the IL side.

Very informative! But, In California. Where I live, we do not have to take out loans for LVN, ADN, or BSN. The BSN universities nearby are only 2.5 years, the same as the ADN. Also, the Fafsa and Cal Grant covers the BSN program completely, since Universities out here cheap, compared to other states I’ve been to. My sister and my grandma got their RN licenses without any loans. However , my other sister lives in Maryland I toured other schools and they’re very expensive out of state

C I lived in CA for 12 years and plan to go back after I complete my BSN. I agree that education in CA is extremely affordable as long as it’s a state school. However, it’s also really impacted. When I was looking to attend an ADN program there, at the time the waiting list was 3 years. We are now in VA and although it’s more expensive there are no waiting list. The bottom line when it comes to getting into a program you’re gonna pay with time or high tuition and either way it’s worth it, if it’s what you really want to do.
