HELP question about ADN and RN

I am looking into going to school and getting my ADN but am confused about how to become an RN after compeleting the ADN program. Do I still have to continue on to a LVn-RN bridge program after completing the ADN? or do I just take the RN exam?? I have read a couple of different things and just want to make sure I make the right choice into becoming an RN.
Id appreciate feedback and answers!! Thank you very much

Thank you for responding!! Well the school I am looking into has you do the LVN program and then you have a choice to pursue the Assoiciates Degree so I forgot to ask the admissions counselor if Id have to do the LVN-RN bridge program afterwards or is Id just have to take the exam for RN. I am new to this so I a bit confused!! lol

Also, would it be better to just complete the LVN program and then continue to the LVN=RN bridge program? Whats better and faster? Im so confues on what to do.

How it currently is, in my area of the country: You enroll in the ADN program, either 2 year FT or 4 year PT. At the midway point, you are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN and most do. You also have the option of stopping your education then and working as a LPN, or continuing on and finishing out the ADN requirements then sitting for the NCLEX-RN. ADN IS an RN and they take the exact same NCLEX as a BSN does. A BSN track nursing student is NOT eligible to take the NCLEX-PN exam.HTH!!

I know there are schools up my way where with in the 2 year AND program you can test out after the first and take ur LPN boards and then you can come back ythe 2nd year and finish the 2nd year after you get your LPN or just go straight through to RN...either way people end up with their RN and AAS w/in the same two years for the most part

The LVN program at this school is a 16 month program, and then I have the choice to continue and do the ADN which I wont take long in since I have general ed credits I can transfer from my previous college. So if ADN=RN and I can be done quicker, I am leaning towards that more.
