Hi! Does anyone have any info about lpn to rn bridge programs in the louisville area? I went to spencerian and won't go back. There has to be other options out there! Thanks!

Hi! JCC has one, Louisville Health Institute has a brand new one, and Ivy Tech on your side of the river has one. The only one I wouldn't recommend is Lou. Health Inst. Their LPN program is really bare-bones, so who knows what their bridge program is like. I've attended classes at both JCC and Ivy Tech. Ivy Tech is much more organized and has a higher NCLEX pass rate (or they did last time I checked). I do rate JCC high on my list for their gen ed instructors, though. They are both accredited- I don't know if LHI is or not.
Good luck to you!

indiananurse - I've been thinking about attending Spencerian. Do you not recommend it? If so, why not? Thanks for any input.

I don't know what kind of experiences Indiananurse had, but I do not recommend them either. I just graduated from the LPN program and there were a grand total of 3, yes 3, of us in the graduating class from our original class of over 50. The other 5 students were made up of repeaters and night students who failed the first time. Tons of drama with this place! I don't want to get into specifics online, but the school's got several issues. I heard from the board of nursing they are getting ready to be shut down... big shock. I too am at a loss for where to go for my RN.
Thanks for the info, indiananurse and earthflower! I know now to avoid.
