What are your bridge program pre-reqs?

I wanted to see what other LPN's (in true LPN to RN bridge programs) are taking for pre - reqs. My cc has me taking A&P 1, A&P 2, statistics, English composition, intro to pharm, and psychology intro. Does this sound comparable to other programs?

English,College Allegebra, Psychology, A&P 1&2, Advanced Human Physiology, and then electives of Microbiology, Chemistry or Physics, and another elective of advanced Psychology or Sociology courses.Then two summer nursing courses along with two full semesters= LPN to RN BRIDGE.

Statistics is usually for a BSN. I have never heard of needing it for an ADN.

We had to have English comp 1 & 2, college algebra, A&P 1 & 2 plus labs, microbiology plus lab, human growth & development, sociology, psychology, speech. At least a 20 sub score in math on the ACT or you had to take the TEAS test. I think that was all.

We had to complete all the first year non-nursing classes:

A&P I w/lab, A&P II w/lab, Microbiology w/lab (all of these require as pre-reqs college level biology and chemistry)

English Comp

Algebra

Psych 1 (general psych)

Psych 2 (lifespan development psych)

LPN to RN transitional class (online, 8 wks)

LPN transitional class (2 wks, clinical floor and some hours in classroom)

From there we joined the 2nd year of the 2 yr program nursing classes and had to take those nursing classes as well as the 2nd year non-nursing classes if you hadn't done them prior (I did all my required classes prior to starting my nursing classes so that I only had to concentrate/study and freak out over nursing classes.

The 2nd year non-nursing classes were:

humanities elective (I chose US History)

Ethics

World Religions (it was a Catholic based college)

Sociology

I attended an LPN-to-RN (ASN) program at a for-profit trade school with no prerequisites. The only requirements were a valid LPN license and a passing score on the NET test.

The commuter, what nursing school did you attend ??

How much was it? And shy did you decide to go for the for-profit route?
