I successfully completed 3 semesters in an associates RN degree nursing program with a B- in the state of CT, I failed out last fall with a C- (.24) points to be exact. Question, is there a way for me to take my current education, which includes clinical hours, and take a test to become a LPN? If an LPN can take a bridge course and enter into the 3rd or 4th semester of an associates RN degree program, I do not see why it can't be done the other way around, even if the nursing student needs to take a few more classes, since the LPN course are generally 18 months.
If this is not possible, which organization can I challenge my position and many others. It seems a waste of education, why should a nursing student not have anything after the first year, and then have to wait till the following summer to repeat the summer class they passed with a B- and then retake the fall semester they failed. That is a waste of time and money.
Here in Alabama you would only be able to transfer your credits to an LPN program which would not even an accreditted college. That is how the college and school's get you. they advertise one year or two years but they fail to mention you can only take certain classes at certain times without guidance to know of these things. and the lay overs of no semesters.
good luck

i am not doing well on passing my test but i hope that talking with you all can help.
here are the first 3 semesters of the nursing program i was in.
naugatuck valley community college: as degree in nursing, rn
first semester: nsg*h101 - fundamentals of nursing (formerly nurs-h101)
(6.5 hrs, clinical practice) 6 cr
knowledge, skills, and concepts which are basic to the care of all patients are developed. emphasis is placed on maintenance of health and well-being. the social, cultural, psychological, economic and educational attitudes which affect heath are introduced. the college laboratory and community hospital are utilized in the application of knowledge and skills.
second semester: nsg*h102 - concepts of family care (formerly nurs-h102) (6.5 hrs clinical practice)
this course expands on the concepts and skills presented in nsg*h101 with emphasis on the nurse's role in the care of childbearing families and clients experiencing illness. section a focuses on high-level wellness and nursing interventions that facilitate adaptation to changing roles within families of varying cultures. section b introduces students to individual responses to illness across the lifespan. concepts from physical and social sciences and pharmacology are integrated throughout.
third semester: nsg*h110 physical and emotional illness i (formerly nurs-h110) 15 hrs clinical practice)
this course emphasizes the nursing care of clients of all ages with musculoskeletal and neurological alterations in well being. concepts from pharmacology and diet therapy are integrated throughout. (summer session- 6 weeks)
thank you, i was also thinking if there was a possibility of transferring my classes to a lpn program. for ct, i have not located a college that offers a lpn program, just technical schools. i know other colleges will not accept your nursing credits in to their program; you have to start all over again with the new college. which is amazing, since all other college courses are transferable!
