LPN-RN bridge program that only requires 3 Nur Classes?

Published

Hi, im a new LPN and i was inquiring around to different colleges in my area for the LPN-RN bridge program since my original nursing school didn't have a RN program. I was amazed at the various requirements of different schools; the grading scales for a passing grade were all different ranging from a 71 to an 80 for a 'C' avg. Some schools required 7 nur courses, some required only 5 or 6, and i even found one that only require 3 Nursing courses in 2 semesters! this one didn't even require a lpn-rn transition course, the only courses you take there is an advanced med-surg, psych, and a management course. So, I guess my question is; Is less better in this case???

I go to Guilford Technical community College in Jamestown, NC. I am in the ADN program. I did the lpn-rn transition course in the summer, Nursing V in the Fall and will do Nursing VI (last semester) starting January 12th.

I am an LVN (just graduated in August) and just found out I was accepted to my school's LVN to RN ADN program. We do have a transition course which we had to take before we could apply and we also had to take and pass an "Advanced Placement" exam. Basically this exam allowed us to test out of the first year of the RN program. We also had the option of taking an exam to challenge Psych Nursing, which I took and passed (thank God haha) so I do not have to take the psych rotation. (as you can probably guess psych nursing was not my favorite) I will be starting next month and there are only 3 classes in 2 semesters... 21 units total. I am proud to say our pass rate is is typically around 94%..

So far I have noticed that the best way to ensure a quicker admission is to have all of your prereqs and degree courses done so that all you have left to complete are the nursing courses.. at least that's what worked for me!

Good luck to you all! :rckn:
