LPN to RN programs in NYC?

Published

Hi I’ve been an working as a LPN now for 3 years. I have been looking in various schools in the Triborough area, but unable to find a trusted program. I looked into St. Paul’s school of nursing which is crazy expensive. Helene fuld college of nursing, not convinced it’s the best fit for me. Sounds like it’s in a rough neighborhood, also doesn’t have the best reviews. I’m so doubtful that I’ll find a school to complete my RN. It’s like every time I take 1 step I get pushed 5 steps back. I have played with the idea of a CC, but it’s so competitive and I just don’t know if I’ll get in. Please give me any tips from personal  experiences or knowledge of a good school choice to finally complete my RN. Cause at this point I’ve all but given up.

Hello! I was also looking into Helene Fuld. Unfortunately I was not accepted, and they're finished accepting applications for Spring '22. I have a friend who recently graduated there, and she said it was fine. She commuted from Long Island.

LPN to RN program offers a program that allows you to take LPN classes at other locations and take tests specific to your program. There is also a program for RN-to-BSN. I took that program - classes at a local community college proctored tests and clinical exams. One clinical exam is required for LPN-to-RN candidates, while three are required for RN-to BSN applicants.
