LPN graduating in May. I plan on then going on to earn my RN-BSN. Suggestions of schools? Where in the U.S. are the best bridge programs? (I would prefer campus schools not online programs) Thanks!

I don't think you're going to find any LPN-BSN campus programs. I think how it's done, you will enroll in an LPN-RN bridge program and onced licensed as an RN, you will find many RN-BSN bridge programs. Otherwise, you will be enrolling in a pre-licensure BSN program, meaning that you don't hold the required unencumbered RN license needed for the 'bridge' BSN. Now, I'm not sure about the campus-based LPN-BSN, but I know Indiana State University has an online LPN-BSN program. I would check with them to see if they offer the campus degree program that you're looking for. This is MY best answer if I understand your question correctly. Good luck!!!!!

LaSalle University in Philadelphia, PA enrolls LPNs into a LPN-BSN program. You also have the option of doing a part-time accelerated program as well-I choose the part time accelerated program as a LPN. You can contact lasalle.edu for more information. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is a LPN who wants campus learning. I was thoroughly satisfied with the program. Please feel to PM me about my experiences in the program. :)

I suggest going over to the NY forum. I read about at least one school when I posted in the LPN-LVN program.

You aren't going to find any LPN-BSN programs that are 100% online. Some require class time. Depending on what state you are in, you could try Univ. of Phoenix LPN-BSN.
