LPNs, who have graduated from a Practical Nurse program that has been approved by the CT League for Nursing Articulation Committee, may be eligible to take the LPN to RN Articulation Bridge Course. This is a three-credit course offered on-line through Charter Oak College distance learning courses. For more information contact the Connecticut League of Nursing (203 265-4248). The LPN must first be accepted by Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing (BHSN) before enrolling in the Articulation Bridge Course. Acceptance is dependent upon admission requirements and completion of first level non-nursing courses. Applications are accepted May through September 15th each year.

In addition, the LPN will be required to take NU200, Transition for the LPN, a one credit course at BHSN offered in the spring semester that is specific to the objectives of our school and serves as a supplement to the on-line Bridge Course. Successful completion of the on-line Bridge Course, non-nursing Level I courses and NU200 allows the LPN to bypass all first year nursing courses at BHSN and enter into second level courses.
