Do you really need a year experience????

Thanks,

I have called schools and they tell me different things so I was hoping to get it first hand from a student. In addition, I am in school now otherwise I wouldn't be posting about this. I am focused on my program but it is nothing wrong with inquiring to know your next step. Where have you taught the PN Program? And my question was do you need a year experience to bridge right over??? I am fairly new to the site so I am learning how to navigate and post therefore, I don't have all my info posted regardless if my profile says member since 07'. I just need a general question answered, if you have a trail of negativity please don't respond. And all the BON is going to do is give me schools in the area that have nursing programs. Not necessarily bridge programs or who give credit for what!! If any LPN is interested in bridging so far (that I know of) MWCC, QCC, Quincy, NECC, AUC, and Salem State (BSN) give some credit for PN program but don't know if a year of experience as a LPN is needed before applying. Anymore info would be appreciated. Everyone has a different situation and different things that motivate them!!

Thanks for replying,

I was looking at EC after many posts on the site and truthfully it looks very intriguing. I was also looking to see if Mass accepted EC grads but you have answered my question as a former grad of EC. How did you like the program and how long ago did you graduate? I have been a self study type of person throughout my college education and was unable to study with others because of lack of committment or whatever....could have just been me as well, lol. But if you could share with me your experience and how you went about studying materials and other tips, please pm me. I have been surfing the EC posts on the site and found some really valuable info but was curious specificially about mass grads. In addition, how far did you have to travel for CPNE and what does FCCA consist of? Still haven't seen a post on that yet. Well thank you for your time and have a nice day.
