As far as I know you can enroll in university and get your BSN without first getting either your LPN or ADN. Remember, an RN is an RN, we all take the same boards. Most states it takes one year for your LPN and two years for your ADN. Some states are requiring you to have a CNA before you enroll in an LPN program. You can work as a CNA while getting your LPN and work as an LPN while getting your two or four year professional nursing degree. Grants are availabe as well as scholarships.
