LVN to RN Bridge Program

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!

I am in the same boat as you Rena85, went to concorde in garden grove, have yet to find a school that will accept our credits. Let us know if you have any luck, will do the same. thanks

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 WGU 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 WGU. I completed a great deal of non nursing coursework there. I love their set-up!

How did all of that work?
