LPN to RN (ADN/BSN) Programs
(found programs from 686 schools)

Welcome to the most comprehensive directory on the web of LPN to RN (ADN and BSN) programs. These programs also go by such names as "LPN Mobility," "LPN Transition," "LPN Advanced Placement/Advanced Standing," and so on. They are typically 1-2 year programs that enable people who are currently licensed practical (or vocational) nurses to obtain their ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing) or BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) degree, and take the NCLEX-RN exam to become Registered Nurses (which results in a significant increase in salary and job options).

As you can see, there are quite a lot of these. The easiest way to search them is to use the links down the left hand side of this page to check out the full list of LPN to RN programs in the state where you live.

You should also check out the website of that state’s Board of Nursing, which will give you important information on nursing in that state (RN licensure requirements, etc.).

Can I Become an RN Through an Online LPN-RN Program?

The short answer, fortunately, is yes. There are a small number of online LPN to RN programs offered by universities across the US. When you speak with the schools that offer them, you should make sure to find out how often (if at all) you will be required to come to campus - some programs described as "online" still require you to show up for a few weekends each semester, or something similar.
