LPN Bridge to ADN Pathway
Lakeshore has a three-step Admissions/Enrollment college application process for all Nursing students. Step One is to complete the admissions requirement to get accepted into the college. Step Two is to complete the class registration requirements to enroll into general education courses. Step Three is to complete the program requirements to be accepted into the Bridge pathway.
It is mandatory that all of the Nursing general education classes be completed prior to starting the core nursing classes. A grade of "C" or better is required in all classes with the exceptions of the two Anatomy and Physiology classes, both of which require a grade of "B" or better.
Bridge students who passed the PN NCLEX more than three years ago are required to take the HESI PN Exit Exam. The LPN Bridge pathway is a summer-only entry with two preparatory bridge courses. The number of seats available are limited.
The LPN Bridge to ADN classes are mostly offered during the day.
