LVN to RN Bridge Program

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

I received my LVN at Summit career college and was wondering if anyone knows of a bridge program that will accept my credentials so I don't have to start from the beginning.

I was thinking about challenging the A&P courses at a community college(in my case, san bernardino valley college) so that I can just go into Microbiology since we took A&P already. At concorde career college, they told us that their classes are transferable but only if the school accepts them, which I've had no luck finding one to accept class credits from a trade school, so I'm just going to do challenge exams so I can bypass those classes.

Can you keep me updated if they let you do that? I am going to SBVC right now too!

There are bridge programs that incorporate the RN prereqs. In my area, carrington college is one of them.

As for me, I knew the prereqs I took in my Lvn program wouldn't transfer. I took all the prereqs before my Lvn program (at community college) and after it was done I completed the remaining classes at a state university.

Now I am eligible to apply to community and state college RN/ Lvn to RN bridge programs.

It took me 4 yrs to complete my prereqs. I did Lvn in the middle of that.,

I don't know if you have heard about or not but they take credits from summit, and concorde. It's actually pretty dang cheap too

Assuming you're talking to me, yes I've considered . I completed a great deal of non nursing coursework there. I love their set-up!
