9 month LPN- RN Bridge Programs in Atlanta GA

I'm currently in a LPN to BSN program that is of course considerably longer than nine months. I just don't think I'd feel appropriately trained in nine months of once weekly course work to take on the role of a RN.

The degree would be granted by Excelsior College. It is not necessary to attend Kaylim to get the degree since you will have to enroll in EC anyway. I've heard that by attending Kaylim some students are better able to retain the info as opposed to complete self-study but to each his/her own. I'm currently an Excelsior student living in rural GA and am managing to study on my own and successfully completing the required tests. So I say if Kaylim is something that appeals to you go for it; but remember that you don't have to enroll in Kaylim to complete the nursing program.

Is Excelsior accepted in Ga?

Moved to the LPN-to-RN forum.

are most of these programs online based? I would like to know if there are any accelerated program in atlanta that are more campus based. I prefer going into a classroom and going to clinicals that way I have the hands on experience when I am ready to work. I cant learn without the set structure. thank you for your the help

After a long drawn out battle and many stipulations, yes it is accepted and is more favorable now toward LPNs it seems. FMI go to the distance learning forum and read the sticky on this subject.

Check with the secretary of state in GA to be sure the school is accredited. GA will not let you take the NCLEX and be licensed unless the school is properly accredited.

Be safe and check it out before you start

How are you doing with the bridge program w/ Excelsior? Are you still passing your exams comfortably? I was looking at Kaylim & read your post, do you know if there's any financial difference between the two?

@ Dream'n, what is the name of the school you are attending with the LPN-to-BSN program

I called Georgia Perimeter College regarding their LPN to RN Bridge program. They informed me they ended their program. Sorry. I too am looking and if you have any info for the LPN to RN Bridge program in Metro Atlanta PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. Thanks
