Any one in this program? I am looking it to it as it is the cheapest option I have found... Seems a lot like excelsior with the exception on clinicals (how do they do them?)????

Hi guys! I'm new to this so bare with me... For those that will start in September for the bridge program, did any of you have more than a yr. Experience working as an lvn? Because I heard that they recently add that on to their admission requirements and unfortunately I'm a new graduate nurse that would like to further in my education and was hoping to get into their program soon.

You do have to all required courses before they let you take tranisition courses. If you have everything get started now, because it takes a while for them to process everything.

regarding the books for Lamar; I graduated in May, I purchased them all & used them all. There was one later on in the program that they recommended, but was not required. I bought it because it was small & I was able to carry it around at work & during clinical. Email me @ [email protected] if you would like more information.

Good Luck to all!!!

Oh gosh yes, because their deadline really is like two weeks before their posted deadline.

]I am currently doing the online LVN-RN program at Lamar State. I started on April 4th and I am on my second nursing class right now (classes are 5 weeks with 1 week off in between).

It is a very time-consuming program if you also have to work full time while doing it. I work a rotating schedule (7 12-hour shifts in 14 days) and this was the only program, where I was able to do all my work online and still keep my full time job.

The hospital I work at has an "academic partnership" with Lamar State so I will be able to do my clinicals at my hospital with a preceptor or I might have to go to our "mother" hospital.

Hello, I work the same schedule! How is it going for you, so far? I work night shifts.

I would like more information about this program if you guys could help me! I am wondering about the clinicals? Where did you all get your preceptor? Can you tell me how this program works? Thanks!
