Salem State College

Hello to All!!

I was wondering if anyone had any information on the LPN to BSN program at Salem State Colleg in Massachusetts. See I was racking my brain to either do LPN or RN and decided to do LPN (again):imbar!!

Good news is that it is cheaper and I get to use credits from another college; so I will finish early. Therefore, I am trying to further my education by Gods grace to be a RN/BSN. If anyone has any information on the program at Salem State, please respond. Even if they heard second hand that would be greatly appreciated. In addition, if there are any other programs that offer the LPN to BSN route excluding distance learning because I am the type of person that needs to be in a seat observing or else I will be finished.:lol_hitti

TIA,

Mzj0nes

You live in Salem, MA? I visited there 4 times! A very quiet, quaint town. I love it there!A question I have for you is what are the LPN opportunities down there? And, are the hospitals/facilities union or right to work? I had seriously considered moving there.

Thanks for responding VM85. I tried to PM you but I don't have enough posts yet to PM. But to my knowledge the community colleges don't have a LPN to BSN program. It is specifically LPN bridge to an ASN in nursing. I searched the blogs and really Massachusetts nurses aren't really focusing on Salem State College for this particuler program. So thought I would get an answer starting my own....NOT!! But anywho, I believe I should try to get my ASN first instead straight BSN anyway. So yes, if you could PM me maybe I can respond that way. I live in Worcester County and I will travel at least an hour away provided that I find a job close enough to the program. TIA again!!! ;)

Excellent school of nursing at Salem State. My husband graduated from there with a business degree, but he always mentions the nursing program as tops. Good luck to you.

I am under the belief that if you graduate from a State Community college with a 2 year degree (LPN) you are guaranteed a slot in a State College, for further education (BSN). Salem state must take you as a transfer, if all your credits are from a 2 year State funded community college, grades at transferable and you complete paperwork by deadline. This policy may have changed, but you may want to talk to a college counselor.
