This new Practical Nursing (LPN) to Registered Nurse (RN) Bridge program offers an accelerated track for current LPNs, allowing them to save time and money while advancing their nursing careers to the next level as Registered Nurses. Registered nurses are essential healthcare professionals who provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients about various health conditions, and offer emotional support to patients and their families.
Taught by experienced and qualified nursing faculty, students will receive comprehensive training through a blend of in-person and online learning, hands-on clinical experience, and on-site laboratory work. This holistic approach ensures that students gain the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in various healthcare settings.
The program includes NCLEX preparation assessments designed to help students develop critical thinking skills and the comprehensive nursing knowledge needed to pass the NCLEX-RN and thrive as successful RNs. By transitioning from an LPN to an RN through this program, students are equipped to provide high-quality patient care and make a significant impact in the healthcare field.
A passing TEAS test score is required before enrollment. Testing should be completed two months prior to the program start date.
