LVN's in DFW....

by Mander2

I am an LVN in Fort Worth and I have a couple of questions for you all:
1) Where do you work/what type of job?
2) Are you working towards your RN?
3) If yes to RN where are you transitioning?

I am READY to transition!
Amanda

I am originally from Southern California, but moved to Fort Worth in late 2005. More specifically, I reside in the North Crowley area.

1. I do weekend doubles at an upscale nursing home. I work 16 hours on Saturday and 16 hours on Sunday, thereby having 5 days off in a row from Monday through Friday. I use my time off to attend classes at TCC.

2. Yes, I am working toward my RN license. I completed my first semester of prerequisites during the fall 2006 semester and just started the spring semester 2007 yesterday. Right now I am taking more prerequisites, but I hope to start applying to LVN-to-RN bridge programs by the end of this year.

3. I am looking to transition at either North Central Texas College, Hill College, Angelo State University, Tarleton State University, Grayson County College, Tyler Junior College, or Paris Junior College.
