One is now an ICU RN making about twice the money I do. The Medic to RN was his way around the wait list for a regular RN program.
Be sure to check with your state Board of Nursing first. Here in Florida they only allow Excelsior grads. that entered as LPNs sit for the NCLEX. This is a fairly recent change. California does not allow them at all. Having said that, I assume there is a backdoor somewhere in every state.
Now that Rebel mentioned it, many bridge programs at CCs do not have a waiting list. It is not uncommon for people in my area to become LPNs first with the idea of bridging later.
