9 month LPN- RN Bridge Programs in Atlanta GA

Updated:   Published

:yeah:I'm currently a LPN that needs some help I heard from many people that there's a bridge program in Atlanta, Ga where you only meet once a week and finish your degree in nine months. I need the name to the program or number or something.

Specializes in OB/GYN, Family practice, Peds Neur.

Hello,

I am currently a LPN and have been for 15 years. I started RN schooling in 2005 part time and am STILL in school. This includes the whole year of waiting to get into the clinicals! I used to think there wasn't much difference between LPNs and RNs-ooohhh but there is. And it takes a lot of schooling to get the info. I can't see how you can do that in 9 months...and be prepared to take on such an important role. Think of being hired- would the company want a LPN that has been through the proper amount of schooling or would they choose the one with the 9 month education. Education is valuable and does make a difference. Hope you make the choice that's best for you

I'm currently in a LPN to BSN program that is of course considerably longer than nine months. I just don't think I'd feel appropriately trained in nine months of once weekly course work to take on the role of a RN.

I agree. The LPN to BSN program I'm attending is 2 to 3 days per week (depending on the semester) for 5 semesters. I can't imagine 9 months!

9 months might be just about right. Check out DLSI.

Not sure. I think they are battling it out between the BON and the state legislation. Check it out.

I'm in Florida and now they have to accept Exelsior college.
