9 month LPN- RN Bridge Programs in Atlanta GA

[lpatt949]

:yeah:I'm currently a LPN that needs some help I heard from many people that there's a bridge program in Atlanta, Ga where you only meet once a week and finish your degree in nine months. I need the name to the program or number or something.

Hello,

I am currently a LPN and have been for 15 years. I started RN schooling in 2005 part time and am STILL in school. This includes the whole year of waiting to get into the clinicals! I used to think there wasn't much difference between LPNs and RNs-ooohhh but there is. And it takes a lot of schooling to get the info. I can't see how you can do that in 9 months...and be prepared to take on such an important role. Think of being hired- would the company want a LPN that has been through the proper amount of schooling or would they choose the one with the 9 month education. Education is valuable and does make a difference. Hope you make the choice that's best for you

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.

I agree. The LPN to BSN program I'm attending is 2 to 3 days per week (depending on the semester) for 5 semesters. I can't imagine 9 months!

i know that in the miami-ft. lauderdale area we have dlsi (distance learning systems). they offer classes once a week, but it is for the excelsior program. their toll free # is: [color=#364331]1 [phone]. they might be in georgia as well.

9 months might be just about right. Check out DLSI.

DLSI do offer such program.

Not sure. I think they are battling it out between the BON and the state legislation. Check it out.

I'm in Florida and now they have to accept Exelsior college.

What about Indiana State University? That's a distance learning program.

Just keep checking online.
