Who else applied for the fall bridge program? Looking to find out any information, the application packet was very vague.

I did! Im hoping and praying that i get a letter of acceptance within the next week or two. What was vague about the packet, did you ask the school questions or give your concerns? Good luck by the way.

Yay! I'm so happy to hear from someone else that applied! I never asked any questions when I turned my packet in. I decided to apply at the last minute, I took the hesi march 30th and turned in all my stuff lol without even calculating my points. I wasn't going to apply because I need to retake some of my classes, that maybe too old. Also at the time of applying I only had 7mo of experience as an LPN but I have ten years as a cna and it didn't say anything about points for experience. I added my hesi test and my prereqs and the score is pretty low compared to students applying to the rn program. Also, I was wondering does the bridge students start with the second semester RN students? What was your hesi score? Im wondering if I should retake it because I did poorly on the chemistry section. I have an 86 on the hesi.

My LPN RN bridge started with a transition course after that we merged into 3rd level students.

Hi there Shinesmlpn! Was wondering if you've heard anything? I was told to expect a letter during the first or second week of June?!? Have heard nothing yet! I was told I had all prereqs and required docs to apply for program. I think you were just required to have 1000 hours? Can't remember exactly. So if you've been working full time it's possible you had enough hours. That's only like 6 months if you are 40 hours.

They keep saying different things but we are suppose to hear something by the end of the week. They said they were making last minute changes to the packets.

You should call tom. To see if they mailed the letters and see how many applied. You should join the fscj hopefuls for fall 2016 on Facebook. There's a lot of info on there and other people applying for the bridge program.

I tried to call today but was too late. It's Wednesday and I got nothing in the mail today either. I will call tomorrow in the morning to make sure I can get a hold of someone. I didn't see a Facebook page for the fall of 2016

Check both. I didn't receive an email so I guess I'll wait for my denial letter in the mail.
