Part of what is missing are not only RT courses but also the basic college curriculum required to apply to RT AAS programs. (history, English, algebra, humanities, etc). Aren't the LVNs that do bridge programs usually from a an accredited college LVN program?

You can argue that a person with on the job training can be just as skilled in many fields- it doesn't change the reality. Part of the reason many employers prefer applicants that have completed a degree is it reflects one's ability to follow through with challenging, long term commitments.

Good response Smile

Of course, the profession itself will be requiring applicants to have an associate degree at the very least as of 2015. Long overdue, in my opinion.
