The fastest way to transition from a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to a Registered Nurse (RN) is to enroll in an LPN-to-RN bridge program, which typically takes about 12 to 18 months to complete. These programs build on the practical nursing knowledge and experience you already have, allowing for an accelerated path to obtaining an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). Additionally, some schools offer online or evening classes to accommodate working nurses. After completing the program, you'll need to pass the NCLEX-RN exam to become licensed as an RN.
