We, the students, graduates, and supporters of Hostos Community College, respectfully request that the school administration reestablish the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to Registered Nurse (RN) Bridge Program within the nursing department.
Many of us are proud graduates and current LPN students who want to further our education while continuing to serve our community. A bridge program would allow us to build on our existing skills, meet workforce demands, and strengthen the college’s role as a leader in nursing education.
Why This Matters:
- Expands opportunities for current LPNs to become RNs without leaving our community.
- Helps address the ongoing nursing shortage in local hospitals and long-term care facilities.
- Provides a cost-effective, flexible pathway for working nurses to continue their education.
- Supports the college’s mission of lifelong learning and professional growth.
Our Request:
We ask that Hostos Community College continue the development of an LPN-to-RN Bridge Program, beginning with faculty consultation, and collaboration with local healthcare partners to determine program requirements and launch timeline.
Together, we can make nursing advancement more accessible for all dedicated healthcare professionals who have started their journey here.

I petition for hostos to make an LPN to RN bridge. I am an Alumni night class of 2023 and Although I'm in another school to complete my RN, I would have love to finish my education at hostos.
This would be very beneficial for those who really wants to be in the healthcare system but is not financially stable to enter into other institutions . Hostos Community College is placed at a strategic location which makes it easy to serve students in the community and its surroundings.
I believe the students who are loyal to the school and the professors would benefit from this program. Many people choose this school due to prestige. I believe with the new building being build for allied health there can be room made for this program!
Hostos is where I started my nursing journey and it only makes sense to continue to grow where I started . I don't want to go anywhere else but I have worked so hard to start all over:(
As a former Hostos graduate from the LPN program, I believe students as well as community would benefit greatly from having an LPN-RN bridge program so former graduates like me don’t have to go through the hassle of finding a new school but instead continue their studies at Hostos
LPN to rRN bridge program
That would be a great benefit to the nursing department.

A lpn to rn program would be really beneficial to me since I started thinking about going back to school after graduating from the hostos lpn track Dec 2023. Also I live close and work by there.
