I am a nurse educator and the RN curriculum is much harder for a BSN. A lot of my students are LPNs and they definitely have an advantage over the typical students.
The best thing I could have done to prepare was become a CNA and then a CMA. Currently just became an LPN, and working on my RN. Working up the latter really did help me get to were I am today. LPN was much harder, but it prepared me for the RN portion of nursing school. It gets challenging each semester. Study hard!
Absolutely I’m learning that after 30 years in healthcare I’ll be a better nurse because I was a CNA RMA CMT I starting my LPN bridge program and I never been more excited and confident to go to school
@@user-cy8hw3it9j Yes you will. I'm a cna but I do want to do medical assistant and then possibly lpn but I don't want to waste time since I'm already in my early 40s. What you think??
I started as a MA working for an OB/GYN. I did everything the nurse does. I went from there to becoming an RN. My only struggle was learning how to test. Once I got that it was game on.
I’m an LPN starting next month to get my RN and I’m petrified, even having weird dreams. Plus, I’m older, so I’m concerned about being able to get through.
I like to use the word “challenging”. Hard makes it sound like it isn’t able to get done. It’s a challenge that one has to overcome if they want to gain that title. When ppl ask me “how was the Lpn program?” It had it challenges. U might have to work more on your math skills or read a page multiple times until u actually understand what u read.
I graduate in May with my RN through a bridge track from my LPN. LPN school hands down prepared me 10-fold for the bridge. The RN general track students seem to have a harder time than the bridge. The main theme for us who have our LPN/Paramedic licenses do agree a lot of our bridge has been relearning and going deeper into content! Spot on. 🎉
I was in the RN program and now I'm in the LPN I'm telling u the RN seemed easier for me LPN is very hard especially cause it's a shorter program there's a lot to learn and process in that short amount of time which makes it stressful
I agree with you because they will both be challenging if you have no experience and is coming in with no knowledge. I think the RN would be harder because it’s a higher level of nursing. Everything you learned in the LVN role you would also learn in the RN role, the RN like you said goes deeper.
Yes, yes and yes! I thought my LPN program was harder than the RN program. Why? The experience I gained as an LPN made it a breeze in the ADN program. Like you said, it was a step further into the foundational education obtained in the LPN program
Believe in Jesus Christ and you will have Everlasting Life, to believe in someone, you are convinced that they are true. If you Believe in Jesus Christ, you will be Saved by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Jesus Christ Alone, John 3:16, KJV. Once you are Saved, you are always Saved, John 6:37, KJV.............
I started as a CMA and moved to LVN and am transitioning to the LVN-BSN and it’s all been very hard. LVN and RN do the same exams HESI, TEAS, NCLEX. Everything is just more in depth.
If you had learned it already, there would be no need to go to RN school. I can’t speak from a LPN perspective, because I’ve never been one. As a BSN RN, I must say that RN school is challenging; there’s more responsibility, and an expanded scope of practice. Both are referred to as nurse, but very different roles in terms of scope of practice and responsibility.
True, but having walked into a room where my RN was pulling on the catheter to get it out of the poor man without deflating the cuff, I have to say the difference is their approach to knowledge. The emphasis in practical in the LPN, frequently translates to better patient care. The best patient care, from my experience as a patient, came from those that started as LPNs and then became RNs.❤
Yes. As a LPN you already have some basis of knowledge to pull from so going for your RN would be easier. But this can also be a hindrance bc if you come in with a cup that’s already full, you may not make room to learn more in that RN program.
Sashagarcia6205 I was just about to text someone to say I'm going to sleep and saw your question, here goes: if you're going to start studying in healthcare, just prepare to love reading, when others are idling any where/ time(class/home), Read (class /bus/train & especially @home). Reproduce (with book closed) what you read at the end of chapter then re-read, noting ur mistakes carefully, say it how understand it,check it then move to next chap. Be consistent & focussed. Don't join the celebrity group of the class, notice the hard working members, get in graded groups with them, always do your end of work ,always. Read ahead of chapter. Study, study, get assignments done on time. Study & use 1 more source of info. Always read the chapter after which teacher gives. You must pass any exam with this attitude it's a 100% guarantee. Try it then tell me if it didn't work. The above is a surety to pass ANY EXAM, GUARANTEED. I'm also an even more serious believer in Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
dang mane!!!! No wonder my neighbor's daughter told me not to get pregnant while in school! I am a married woman 😭 with a supportive husband. Allahu musta3n.
Yes because you have to take a test and score very high to be accepted in the rn program I was in it scored so high just to end up getting kicked out of the program cause I got sick with covid they didn't let me take my finals and failed me
For my school, no. Everyone have to take the teas test and score a minimum of 41 to be accepted into whatever program you desire either LPN, ASN, OR BSN

My LPN program is hard but it is teaching me to become a nurse. No regrets
Good luck!
Do you want to continue to become a RN?
I agree. I did lpn and rn and lpn was harder for me being that rn was just a deeper dive into what i learned in lpn school
I am a nurse educator and the RN curriculum is much harder for a BSN. A lot of my students are LPNs and they definitely have an advantage over the typical students.
If BSN is hard I guess I should just go to medical school…
I need u in my circle please. Trying to do something with my life, and I really want to do nursing. Can you be my motivator/ mentor?

you go girl!!!
You got this girl!❤
You got this! I had people in their 50’s and a couple older than that! As long as you have the will and apply yourself you will be ok.
You are 100% correct! Learning how to answer nclex style questions was a struggle in lpn school. You are spot on!

interesting, what made you change your decision if you don't mind me asking?
I did both and I agree! TWO Anxiety inducing programs.
This is true I been an LPN for 22 years. I am done I am currently about to apply for the RN program
whaaaaaaaaaaaat??????!!!!! Gone girl!!
Wow❤

LPN was harder then RN to me.
Same here!

I agree. Both programs are hard
As always NurseB, I agree with what you said, because both programs have there challenges.
That is so true.
Thank you very much.
Do you suggest going to LVN school in the beginning vs. RN with no experience ? Though you may qualify for both?
100% agree !!
Is it possible that LPN is harder than RN only because as an LPN you’ve had experience and exposure to the field and many skills?
Yes. As a LPN you already have some basis of knowledge to pull from so going for your RN would be easier. But this can also be a hindrance bc if you come in with a cup that’s already full, you may not make room to learn more in that RN program.
Hey I am in the LPN program , I am having hard answering the questions do you have any suggestions on how to apply adpie and Maslow's Theory ?

I don't really use these so I guess I did the response incorrectly. Pardon me.
Did u have to retake the TEAS for the lpn to rn bridge?
I’ve only taken it for the bridge, I had another entrance exam for LPN
dang mane!!!! No wonder my neighbor's daughter told me not to get pregnant while in school! I am a married woman 😭 with a supportive husband. Allahu musta3n.
If you do, get pregnant towards the end. A lot of girls I know did it that way
@@yourfavnurseb9699 I thought about that too. 🥰
So true be a dentist
That gap
Is it typically harder to get accepted into RN as opposed to LPN?
Yes because you have to take a test and score very high to be accepted in the rn program I was in it scored so high just to end up getting kicked out of the program cause I got sick with covid they didn't let me take my finals and failed me
For my school, no. Everyone have to take the teas test and score a minimum of 41 to be accepted into whatever program you desire either LPN, ASN, OR BSN
