6. LPNs and LPN Students ? 's

   PediatricRN73 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut

   I agree with CT Pixie. Being a former LPN who bridged through the CTCCNP RN program I can tell you first hand being a LPN does not guarantee you acceptance and you still need all of the prerequisites to apply to the program. Be aware that when you a...
