My kids are finally grown & gone & I've been an LPN for a long time, so I have decided to go to the LPN/RN Bridge program. I work fr, sa & su nights & am taking 2 classes this semester, Soc. & Computer. The 2 classes & books cost about $400 I had no idea that it would be this expensive. Courses Required for Associate Degree Nursing Bridge Option: ENG 111 ENG 114 ( or ENG 113 and COM 231) SOC 215 CIS 110 ( must have been taken in the last five years) BIO 168 ( must be a "C" or higher) BIO 169 ( must be a "C" or higher) Humanities ElectiveThese must be completed prior to signing up, then there are only 3 semesters of ADN classes.

I work fr, sa, su 8p-8a every weekend on a psych unit. I sleep about 4-5 hr during the day, so by mo i am wiped out, takes 2 days to get back to normal then i start it all again. I'm working on the lpn-rn bridge program, so these hrs are great & I can study on those nights too.
