Just curious, how does one go about going from LPN to RN in Indiana? My LPN school is fully accredited, and just wondering if there are bridges here or if I need to start RN from scratch....

Thanks

Ivy tech offers transition from LPN to ASN. I'm sure there are others, some may even be online. Seems like I remember seeing something about LPN-BSN too but, I can't remember. Maybe someone else will remember.

Good luck to you.

Ivy Tech takes LPNs for a one year bridge program, however it needs to be regionally accredited to get credit for the non nursing programs. I have a four LPNs taking A&P and English who took them already at Brown Mackie, Everest, and some college called MedTech in Indy. They give credit for the nursing classes based on the LPN license, but they need to take A&P 1 and 2, psych 111, and english 111 at Ivy Tech or another regionally accredited school. Hope this helps. Also I know that Ivy Tech grads are given priority for the slots and then they consider other grads if there is room.

Hello, There are also LPN to RN programs at Marion College in Indianapolis, and also a LPN to BSN program at Indiana State University, Terre Haute. Hope this helps

I live in the Fort Wayne area. I go to IPFW. We are doing away with our associates degree in after this spring but we did have a LPN to RN (3 semesters) program and we now have a LPN to BSN program (6 semesters). If you have an Ivy Tech in your area I think that would be your cheapest, quickest, and best bet.
