Accreditation views

[Mingdoll]

Good evening,

I plan to attend Hunter Business School LPN program, or Western BOCES LPN program but wanted to know first if there would be a problem with bridging onto the RN or BSN profram later on? Is there anyone certified as an LPN from Hunter Business School and now in a CUNY or SUNY furthering their education? Will it even matter whether or not I gain my LPN certificate at Hunter? If you have any information, links, YouTube channels etc available for me to view I would gladly appreciate. Thank you for your time.

Accreditation from the student's perspective is just what classes will and won't transfer.

100% of schools don't care what school you went to for your LPN. All they care about is that you have that license and you meet their requirements of going into their bridge program.

The short answer is that you're going to have to call every school you're interested in going to for your bridge to an RN. They'll tell you whether or not they accept any transfer credits from the schools you're planning on going to. Best case they'll accept all of them and you can pretty much get right into the bridge program. Worst case is they don't accept any and you'll have to take a few extra prereqs.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Your answer sounds reasonable I'll just start making a few calls to see which schools will accept my certificate. Thanks again.
