Position: All Online LPN to RN Programs

LPN to RN Program Information

If you are a Licensed Practical Nurse, you are already aware of the work that goes into a career in nursing. You likely also already have the medical and scientific knowledge necessary to tackle the strenuous nursing school curriculum. You have likely already contacted your state licensing board to determine the requirements necessary for landing an RN license. Now you need to check the accreditation of each school you’re seriously considering to ensure your degree will be honored by your hiring institution and the state licensing board.

As an LPN, you likely also already know that admittance to nursing programs can be highly competitive. You’ll need at least a high school degree or GED for consideration and your high school GPA may be considered. In order to go from LPN, you have several paths, one of which is to pursue an Associates’ Degree in Nursing (ADN). This allows the student to graduate in two to three years and possibly go straight into the workforce.

An ADN is all that is required to take the NCLEX to become an RN.

The other path is to pursue a bachelor’s degree in nursing. While this degree path takes longer—four years or more—it is ideal for those planning to advance to administration someday and/or pursue a master’s degree. Having a bachelor’s degree will also help you compete for the best jobs, giving you an edge over the competition.
