LPN to RN Bridge in WI

[Busia]

Are there any schools in WI (central WI specifically) that do NOT require you to work as an LPN before you can do the bridge, but to just have passed your boards and be licensed?

I transferred from a different state, and because of the transfer process, I had to enter the LPN program at my new school instead of the ADN RN program, otherwise my core credits would not transfer. Not a huge deal, but at the school I'm at now, I have to get an LPN job and work 1000 hours before I can do the RN bridge, which will set me back about a year since most of the jobs available in the area are part time. I would love to be able to continue on with school (all my RN gen eds are done already) next fall as long as I pass my boards this coming summer (I graduate from the LPN program in May) instead of stopping to work for a year.

I have heard that the tech in Wausau only requires you to have your LPN license, but haven't been able to verify that yet.

Thanks!

Looking at NCTC in Wausau, all you need is your LPN to do the bridge program. There is no work requirement. Also, CVTC doesn't have a working requirement either. I am not sure about any of the others.

I did the LPN to RN at Southwest Technical college. I had a lot of work experience but there was no requirement for work experience. I finished in two semesters.
