LPN - RN Bridge Program

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times but here's a thousand and one ;)

How long does a bridge program take?

I currently hold my LPN license in PA and quite frankly I don't really want to attend school for another 3+ years to get my RN.. I guess you could say LPN school really has me feeling burnt out.

Any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

    The majority of them take 18 months then you have accelerated programs that take a year.

    If you look into Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences they have an LPN - RN program. You have to work 1000 hrs as an LPN first (which is only about 6 mos of full-time work). From there you do an LPN assessment module over the summer and if you pass you complete the last 2 semesters of the RN program.

    The LPN-to-ASN degree bridge program that I had attended was approximately 14 months long.

    Thank you everyone!

    I have been working as an LPN for almost a year now so I'm sure I have over 1000 hours experience.

    I am going to check with my local college and also check with the program in PA you suggested.

    Thanks again!

    I really appreciate it!!
