LPN to RN Bridge Programs in New Jersey
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who want to become registered nurses (RNs) need to enroll in an LPN-to-RN degree program, then pass the National Council Licensure Examination for RNs (NCLEX-RN) to gain their nursing licenses. In the state of New Jersey, these programs are usually offered in community colleges.
