Nursing education?

[S.HUNOKEE]

If I start out with one year, and become an LPN, could I go into a program and become an RN in just one more year? What are typically the demands of the bridge programs?

it usually takes a little longer then a year, it took my wife 18 months to get her RN that includes the time she spent in Cleveland, Oh. doing her clinicals.
she spent some long nights studying about 3 nights a week, she was working full-time on the floor in a skilled care facility while she finished her studies. it was demanding but worth it to her. pay for RN vs. LPN is about 25% more for the same job duties.

It really depends on which program you want to get into, which school. you are going to... but heres a thread on that discussion that you may want to look at.
