Why earn an ADN or ASN degree?

An Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) are essentially the same degree with a different name. Both an ADN and ASN will provide you with a foundational knowledge of nursing that you’ll use as you enter a career as an RN. These degrees will also allow you to take on a nursing specialty if you want to in the future.

What you’ll learn in an LPN to RN Bridge

Your LPN to RN transition program 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, ethics, and other social and behavioral sciences 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 an RN role.

Why consider an LPN to RN path?

Nurses are in high demand. RN jobs are projected to grow 6% over the next decade, faster than the national average.
