Hybrid LPN/ADN or CNA to LPN Bridge Pathway

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hello! 

I have all my prerequisites finished and I am looking for a hybrid type program. I thought I could initially start with an LPN and then do my ADN. I have a bachelors degree and just finished my CNA online. I would like to attend an accelerated type program but I simply can't afford it! If anyone has any information I would appreciate it. 

Peace, Love, Light.

I recommend getting your ADN from a community college. The LPN typically takes a year (or more); the ADN takes anywhere between 18 months to two years. A CC is a cost effective way to go.

If you have a bachelors degree I would highly recommend looking into a bachelors-BSN program. You could probably take about 2 years worth of classes and have your bachelors in nursing. Just a thought!
