LPN-RN Accelerated Bridge

If you are a licensed practical nurse seeking to continue your education the LPN-RN bridge is for you! This option is transitioning to a hybrid design (online and in person) and can be completed in 12 consecutive months. Laboratory and clinical experiences will occur on selected evenings and/or weekends, allowing you to meet responsibilities (work and family) and continue your education. This accelerated option is geared toward applicants who are CURRENTLY licensed as a practical nurse.

Next PN-RN Bridge admission cycle will be Fall 2026. Deadline to apply will be March 31, 2026.
