Diploma RN Programs

Published

Does anyone know of an online list of hospitals that still offer diploma RN programs? I know they are a rarity nowadays, but I was interested in learning more about them and seeing just how many are left (as well as where they are located).

Thank you!

There are no longer any diploma schools of nursing in the US. Most of them closed in the late 70's and early 80's.

Another proud diploma graduate, class of '06.

This is what I had in mind! Thanks, sarah.

And thanks to everyone else who replied. I appreciate it all of the information.

For you diploma grads, how were your days structured while you were in the program?

Actually, dipoloma nursing is on the rise in a non traditional role. I'm an LPN and will be starting a newly approved program in August to receive my Diploma RN. This program is in partnership with Franklin University out of Columbus Ohio. This LPN to RN transition program is new of its kind, first in the United States and will be the start, hopefully, of a new way for LPNs to advance their nursing knowledge. This program is not associated with any hospital and is in a classroom setting with instructors and clinicals. After graduating with a diploma and sitting for the state boards, I can then take additional classes with Franklin to obtain my BSN. States from around the country have come to this school to review their curriculium with interest in starting their own programs like this one. Thanks for listening and wish be luck! :lol2:

I believe that the two year RN programs ARE at Community Colleges.

Absolutely not true. I graduated from one last year! There are quite a few in my area in fact... I can name 4 just within this major metro area.
