9 month LPN- RN Bridge Programs in Atlanta GA

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Updated:   Published

:yeah:I'm currently a LPN that needs some help I heard from many people that there's a bridge program in Atlanta, Ga where you only meet once a week and finish your degree in nine months. I need the name to the program or number or something.

Specializes in Cardiac- Electrophysiology, Emergency Me.

Georgia Perimeter's LPN to RN is beginning Jan 2011.

It is 3 semesters and you are done. There is one evening a week classroom and 1 day a week clinic.

After reading all of the other post I have to say....

This program may NOT be for everyone, ie those saying they have been a LPN for +10 years and do not feel it would be enough time.

However, I am so thankful the program is back in place because there are those, like myself, who are comfortable. I have a lot of medical experience not to mention a higher understanding. The program I completed my LPN through taught on an RN level. I function above the RNs I work with daily and they come to me.

9 months seems like an awfully short time to me. especially only 1 day a week

I went to an accelerated 10.5 month bridge program and it was pretty much a 4-5 week a day thing. It was hard as heck...but, so was the accelerated lpn school I went too. When I say accelerated, I mean they were long class days and long clinical days but the program was condensed into a shorter period of time overall.

How long was your LPN school and where was it located? Thx

ABAC in Tifton Georgia has LPN to RN.You attend one day a week and get your RN in three semesters.Of course all prerequisites need to be completed as required by the school. If you are determined to get your RN,you can get it there.A friend of mine already has done it.Good luck!:nurse:

As an LPN, you already have the skills needed to be a valuable RN.Don't let anyone fool you.You just have to know how to sell yourself whether you are a nine or twenty four month student.Think positive.

I'm glad you said what you said.That's because in Georgia LPNS CAN do anything that RNS do.The exceptions are for specific facilities.The BON does not restrict GA LPNs from doing anything.Wake up GA LPNs and read the BON website.Now go back and get your RN if you want but if you remain a LPN...get the respect you deserve.

Hi,

I Read your post. Noticed your name. You ARE SMART already. Test taking may not come easy, but there are ways to deal with that. You may not grasp things as quickly as others, since you feel you have a learning deficit, but that just means you put in more work until you get it. Wish you the best

The RN bridge program I am going to is 3 semesters. The transition semester and the final year of RN school. I spent 2 semesters getting my pre-reqs, though... the 3 semesters to complete my RN are ALL nursing classes...

Most CC offer a bridge program... all are different though.. most are 3 semesters + pre-reqs. I know in VA, tidewater cc and such, you have to have received your LPN within 5 years, though or start over - which seems backwards to me - because the longer you have hands on, the more you learn... but I guess you forget some of the "book material." But, that is why the transition class in imperative, 5 days a week for at least 6 weeks, and from what I've heard DIFFICULT... but, I wouldn't have it any other way.
