50 yr old LPN wants to be RN fast!

Don't know anything about that program but with LVN to RN bridge, it's usually about a year of the program. You go in as a 2nd year RN student and only have to do one year of the RN program. However, pre req's still have to be completed. Check around at your local community colleges. A lot of them also offer information sessions for potential nursing students. Hope this helps.

Have seen bridge programs which gave credit for different amounts of the RN program based upon the applicant's achievement on standardized test-out exams. The more exams passed with a high enough score, the more credit awarded, and thus the less number of classes you are required to take on campus. In one program, though, you had to be employed in the area you were trying to test out of, e.g. pediatrics.

Would be very grateful for any info on bridge programs to go from LPN to RN quickly.
I seen a post about a bridge program that only required 3 classes does anyone know anything about this program?

Here's one, this one however is not accepted in some states such as California. This one can be done in a year or less
