Looking into an LPN to RN program but not sure how you can fit it into your already busy schedule and adult obligations? That’s a challenge many people face. In today’s world most adults have to come up with solutions to many challenges before they can begin schooling:
- Adult responsibilities such as family and work
- Time limitations
- Need for flexibility
- Budgetary concerns
- Part time considerations
- Commuting issues
- Child-care considerations
For many people, traditional LPN to RN bridge programs don’t adequately address the challenges that must be overcome for adult students. The cost, time, and personal sacrifices can be prohibitive. Taking a close look at the real cost, in terms of money and personal sacrifices, with traditional schooling need to be considered, and can include:
- Full-time tuition
- Day-time hours have to be dedicated to school
- Hard copy textbooks,
- Commuting time, stress of sitting in traffic
- Car expenses such as maintenance and repairs (oil changes, new tires, etc.)
- Day care expenses if you have small children
- Working evening and week-ends
- Sacrificing family time to work evenings and weekends to finance school
A favorable solution to these limiting factors for the contemporary student is to consider a nontraditional LPN to RN bridge program like RN Bridge Program which fits well into most adult’s hectic schedules, family and work obligations for the following reasons:
- Flexible, fluid schedule, can be part-time but get full time results
- Choose your study hours and the pace of your classes
- Choose if you want to study on your own or with live instructors- all from home
- No high tuition bills because it’s a flat monthly membership fee to study as much or as little as you want
- On- line support system including video instruction, tests, reference material and live, interactive support
- You can study around your work schedule and keep family as a priority
But is it a quality education?
Yes! RN Bridge Program is a quality nontraditional LPN to RN bridge program that will help you earn a fully accredited degree from the nation’s largest and highly respected school of nursing. The question to ask yourself is what type of learning style will best suit your life? Nontraditional nursing students must demonstrate the same level of proficiency in clinical skills and system knowledge as the student who is enrolled in a traditional program. If you can extract that knowledge base from just reading stacks of text books and without any outside assistance or support, then conventional nontraditional LPN to RN bridge programs will be a great fit.
If you need the support and structure of a traditional program, like instructors to help you stay on track and to answer questions about difficult nursing theory, then RNBP is what you need. (It’s the best of both worlds; flexibility in your schedule but structure to keep you moving!)
Either way though, the quality of nursing education in nontraditional programs is no less accredited or less prestigious than traditional schooling. The most important thing to ask when you enroll into an online LPN to RN bridge program is are they accredited and will you be able to get licensed in your state with your degree. With RN Bridge Program you can know for sure that we’ve got you covered. After graduating you will be fully prepared to take and pass the NCLEX-RN just as you would after a traditional program. The ONLY difference is that you did it in less time, for less money and all on your schedule!
Have you been working “in the trenches” as a staff nurse for awhile and ready to consider a change? Are you looking for a position that’s both challenging, fulfilling and pays more than what you currently make?
