LPN to BSN Bridge Program
Discover a step-by-step LPN to BSN path designed to put your nursing career into focus.
Why bridge to BSN?
A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is a smart choice for nurses who want to expand their career opportunities, increase their earning potential, and gain advanced knowledge. A BSN will prepare you for more complex patient care, evidence-based practice, and nursing leadership roles. BSN trained nurses are often preferred by employers and some states now require nurses to obtain a BSN as they strive to enhance the quality and safety of healthcare. By building on the education and experience you already have as an LPN, an accelerated LPN to BSN online allows you to complete your Bachelor of Science in Nursing more quickly.
Benefits:
- Complete a BSN program to develop stronger critical thinking, research, and communication skills.
- Earn an BSN through an accelerated LPN to BSN online bridge program to finish your degree more quickly.
- Gain exposure to different fields of nursing and work in different environments as you learn what you love to do.
- Become more effective in patient care and better prepared to adapt to the evolving healthcare field.
What you’ll learn in an LPN to BSN Bridge
When considering how to go from LPN to BSN, consider an LPN to BSN bridge program with Achieve Test Prep and the college of your choice. Coursework will include a combination of classes, exams and practical, hands-on training.
Prerequisite courses
Most nursing schools require you to complete prerequisite courses such as college math, composition, statistics, psychology, and others before beginning your core nursing courses.
Core Nursing courses
Anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, leadership, community health, and nursing management are some of the subjects that you’ll study in your core nursing school program.
Hands-on Clinicals
As a part of your nursing program, you’ll need to complete hands-on practice. You’ll work in a lab, clinic, or other healthcare facility to get the experience you need to succeed in a BSN/RN role.
NCLEX-RN
Before you can start working as an RN, you will also need to pass the NCLEX-RN. This is a standardized exam created by the Board of Nursing in every state that is designed to ensure that you are fully prepared to work as a Registered Nurse.
