LPN to BSN Degree

Most licensed practical nurses (LPNs) eventually earn bachelor's degree in nursing, since it's a prerequisite to working as a registered nurse. Registered nurses are assigned more specialized responsibilities and earn higher salaries. Registered nurses frequently begin their careers as LPNs, to obtain work experience and to determine whether nursing is right for them.

Many accredited schools now offer online bachelor's degree programs in nursing. This makes it possible for LPNs to acquire work experience while simultaneously earning a degree. In addition to earning a bachelor's degree, an individual must satisfy their state's licensing requirements and pass a national standardized test before they're considered registered nurses.
