LPN to RN: Advanced Placement

LPNs can earn their RN license faster with this bridge program.

Labouré's LPN to RN program allows you to quickly take your nursing licensure to the next level. As an LPN, you can get credit by examination for some professional coursework, meaning you'll take fewer classes at Labouré and finish your associate degree faster. 

As an LPN-RN student, you:

  • Take arts and sciences courses in person or online
  • Take the HESI exam to get credit for Fundamentals and Maternity/Pediatrics courses
  • Practice modern nursing techniques in our state-of-the-art simulation technology lab
  • Apply what you learn by caring for patients at hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout Greater Boston
  • Are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN exam to earn your RN license and practice as a registered nurse

Advanced placement equals accelerated pace

Our LPN-RN is the advanced placement track of our ASN program. Advanced placement status means you can finish your degree in about one year at a full-time pace. 

Many of our students are balancing work, family commitments and school and choose to attend part-time. Our academic advisors will help you find the plan that works best for you.

"I had a nursing instructor that was in school doing a master's and she would come from clinical and go to school just like us, so she understood the pressure that we were under. That's invaluable."
