There are about 15 different LVN-to-RN programs where I live (Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas), and they all have different requirements for the prerequisite classes. For example, I am hoping to apply to three different bridge programs early next year. Here are the requirements for each school...

Just wondering , in general how long do your pre reqs take to get done , when wanting to go to be in the RN program? And how many of them are there? Does anyone know ecspecially in the state of MO?

Since all RN programs tend to have differing prerequisite classes, you will need to call the nursing program of each school and ask them to send you an informational pamphlet on their program. Or, you can find this information online, because most nursing programs have their requirements listed online. Good luck!

If I recall correctly most of my pre-reqs for the LPN program were the same as the ADN requirements. I had to add Statistics, Oral Communication and a Humanities elective for the RN program so I knocked them off pretty quickly. Good luck, Jules
