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???

Would you please pm me the info on this course requiring three classes. I'd love to look into it. I've applied to several schools, but they all want me to practically start over or maybe skip one semester. Thank you in advance.:)

I am also looking for the LPN to RN schools that only have three classes. Would prefer something close to Washington state, but I am willing to move. My job will pay my base wage (while in school), tuition, books and school related supplies for me to return for my RN after one year of employment. So i'm not really tied down to one place. Just waiting for my year anniversary.

I am in a bridge program in San Francisco, CA. They do require only three courses (OB, MedSurg and Psych), BUT like most schools you have to fulfill prerequisites and one course is usually 12 units. So no piece of cake.

Can some one who is taking the programs with only 3 courses tell me if you have to take prereqs as well? Or do the 3 courses only include the besting courses ? There is a school in Georgia that has 3 semesters but they are fall spring and then fall again and you must have all of the prereqs forest. So my question is are these required with the course you are taking .
