RN My Way
Our Registered Nurse (RN) course opens a world of possibilities for our graduates. Once you complete our program and pass your final exams, you can work in any medical setting and specialty you like. As you get more experience, you will have the opportunity to develop treatment plans for patients and take on leadership roles within your organization. You can also choose to further your education and go after an advanced degree, such as a Licensed Nurse Practitioner or Nurse Anesthetist.
RNs play a critical role in the healthcare system. They are on the front lines and often the people patients and their family members turn to first with their questions. Doctors depend on you to administer important care and alert them to patient’s changing conditions. The best RNs are good with people, self-starters, problem solvers and have a heart to help others.
RN Bridge Program
Students who are already working as LPNs can fast-track their career as a registered nurse with our RN Bridge Program. This allows students to become a registered nurse in as little as nine months. While students are attending the RN Bridge Program, they can continue to work as an LPN, allowing them to earn money, gain invaluable experience and establish seniority within their organization.
While LPNs play an invaluable role in healthcare organizations, RNs have higher earning potential, are given more patient responsibilities and can pursue leadership opportunities within their organization.
What You’ll Learn
Our program is designed to help you feel fully confident to work as a nurse. We teach the technical information you will need to succeed but we also help you develop more nuanced skills, such as how to communicate with patients’ loved ones and how to effectively relay information to your colleagues. The program ends with 12 weeks of shadowing nurses in the field to provide you with the best hands-on experience possible.
