LPN to RN Bridge, A.A.S.
The LPN to RN Bridge program is a hybrid/in seat program that focuses on the role development and transition of the LPN into the role of the RN. This program is aimed at LPNs who wish to further their education and earn an Associate Degree in Nursing (Nursing, A.A.S.) while continuing to work as a LPN.
The LPN to RN Bridge program starts in the summer semester with a 12-week LPN to RN Transition course, NUR 111. This is a demanding, fast-paced hybrid course which meets one day a week for 12 weeks for online didactic instruction with additional 45 hours of hands-on instruction in the lab, simulation and clinical settings. Students must be able to critically think and learn information in an accelerated manner. Once the student successfully completes the summer semester program of study requirements, the student will matriculate into the second year of the Associate Degree Nursing Program (See Nursing, A.A.S. catalog description). The LPN to RN Bridge Program incorporates courses such as anatomy and physiology, developmental psychology, microbiology, humanities and pharmacology in addition to the required nursing courses across the lifespan.
