Prereqs After Applied Tech and Before LPN to RN Bridge?

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I am a current LPN in Missouri. I earned my LPN license through Applied Technology Services in September 2013 and took NCLEX November 2013. I am in a predicament now. I want to go back to school for my RN license (at least, but most likely will go on to earn my BSN) but I have no college credits. I still need to knock out my prerequisites before I can enroll in a bridge program. I currently work evenings and nights at a relatively new job (I officially started full time at the beginning of March) and don't want to drop back to part time because I can't afford that. My husband is (hopefully) going to start working on getting his GED soon. He only works about 25 or so hours a week at the moment. He wants us to move out of the St. Louis area (when and where, I don't know) hopefully, I can convince him to stay long enough for me to get my RN at a local community college. The good thing about earning my LPN license in Missouri is that it is a compact state so I can transfer to work in almost any state I want, I think. I am now considering online courses even though I (prefer) and think that a classroom setting is a better fit for me. I have a lot of down time at my current job, depending on which shift and unit I am working on any given day. I was hoping to use my down time to work on prereqs. If you know of any FULLY ACCREDITED online schools, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Angela H., LPN
