Do you have to be an LVN before you can be an RN?

Is it true you have to be an LVN nurse before you can progress to becoming an RN?

I hear Registered Nursing programs will only take you if you've been previously an LVN..would anyone know how true this is?
Answer:

Absolutely not true. But there are programs out there designed specifically for people who are LVN / LPN, a bridge to RN, and in that case you could not be admitted to their program without your LVN / LPN.

Nope. Go to this free website...www.allnurses.com. I am not affiliated with the website...my sister is in nursing school and she swears by it for information. It's just a message board...they won't ask for anything more than your e-mail address.

no,there are some nurses who were never in the nursing field before becoming a nurse.

That is not true, I enrolled in the Nursing Program and all I needed was the required courses and a recommendation. Go for it girlie! Nurse Corps Leads the Way! (HOOAH!) LOL... (Dry Army Humor...)

my information is over ten years old, but in the US, that was not a requirement for nurses in college.
