LPN to RN Prgram at Suffolk Community College?

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

I am starting the LPN program at Eastern Suffolk BOCES in the fall and am using it as a way to get into the RN program. I have a degree in Finance there were WAY too many pre-reqs I would've had to take to get into the RN program and going the LPN to RN route is the faster and cheapest way to do it for me.

Does anyone know if the credits from BOCES are transferable to the LPN to RN prorgam at Suffolk Community College?

Thanks!

Julie

Hi Julie,

Suffolk will allow you to enter into their bridge program with your LVN license from BOCES, however, the classes you take at BOCES (pharmacology, psychology) will not transfer over as credits because BOCES is not a college. You will have to take prerequisites before entering Suffolk's program - probably basic requirements for an AA degree and Anatomy, Physiology, maybe Microbiology.

So - I know that A&P is a class I take at BOCES....I will have to take it again at Suffolk?

yes, you will have to take all the classes over because they are not equivalent to college courses
