one semester bridge program?

Published

Has anyone ever heard of a program where a LPN can transition to RN in only one semester? Someone was telling me she was looking at such a program, but I have never heard of a transition program that short?

TIA

Specializes in LTC.

I live in NC, and I just completed a LPN-RN bridge class, it was like 10 wks long, then in Fall 08, We step into the last two semesters with other ADN students and we graduate in May 09.

Western Career College in Sacramento is 8 months. Although, you pay an arm, a leg, and need to get rid of your family (sell the kids, divorce your husband). lol

If anyone would like to check this college out, go ahead. You can go to the North Carolina Board of Nursing Website (www.ncbon.org) and see that Guilford Technical Community College is one of the few in NC that has the highest passing rates for the RN or LPN programs. College website is http://www.gtcc.edu.
