NYC LPN to RN Program?

[smartiipants, LPN]

I'm starting LPN school next month and just wanted to know if there are any LPN to RN bridge programs in NYC that anyone can recommend?

Depends on your location. Manhattan? There's Helene Fuld, which offers a 12, 18 or 24 month LPN to RN program, which is located in Harlem. They do have a requirement that you must work one year as an LPN before applying. You can bypass this requirement by scoring an 85 or above on all of your nursing classes.

I am an LPN and I've been doing pretty extensive research on schools that offer an LPN to RN bridge program in my area (Queens/Long Island). I applied to my local community college, but ultimately decided against it. They aren't the easiest programs to get accepted to - they require prerequisites and you will most likely be waitlisted, as there are so many applicants and very little seats.

If you are interested in going right for your BSN, look into Molloy College (located in Rockville Center). They offer an LPN to BSN program, and you can complete it in 3 years. This was my top choice, but unfortunately they do not offer an evening program.

Best of luck to you!
