LVN TO RN BRIDGE OPTION

PROGRAM INFORMATION: A mobility curriculum with summer bridge courses that can allow LVNs to "bridge" the gap between the Vocational Nursing Program and the second year of the Associate Degree Nursing Program. This one-year curriculum completes the 64 hours required for an Associate in Applied Science Degree (A.A.S. A.D.N. Bridge). LVNs must have 9-12 months of full-time acute-care work experience, must satisfy all of the general education requirements of the first year of the ADN program as well as meet other specific program admission requirements. Upon successful completion of the bridging courses, the student is eligible for entry into the sophomore year of the Associate Degree Nursing Program. Applications to the program are available at nursing information sessions, which are conducted at various times starting each October or November. All students wishing to apply to the program must attend an information session. Information session dates are posted on the Navarro College Web site. ACCEPTANCE TO NAVARRO COLLEGE DOES NOT GUARANTEE ADMISSION TO THE LVN TO RN BRIDGE OPTION. (See Associate Degree Nursing Program information for admission, licensure and accreditation information).
