Any recommendations on schools please?

by TXUKGal

Hi All

I've been lurking for a bit but decided to go ahead and ask my question(s). I am a nurse in Texas but currently living out of the country. I am planning to move back to the States where I want to bridge from my LVN to my RN.

My questions are.........would it be better to bridge in Texas before moving to Oregon? Can someone recommend any good schools to bridge at please?

TIA!

I dont know about the university's but with the community colleges if you can get accepted into the program they evaluate you on your skills and then determine on where to place you in the RN program. The CC used to have bridge programs but the CC have gone to OCNE program and really dont bridge anymore

I know that at MT Hood CC if you are an LPN they put you first in line to get into the RN class, hope that helps

Thanks for that info. I'll need to look deeper into that. It would be nice to be placed based on skills.

That's really good to know. In Texas, it doesn't matter really if you're already an LVN as far as I know. I would have to take all my pre-req's as it's been longer than 5 years and then apply like everyone else and hope my grades are good enough to get me in in a timely fashion.

Have you considered Excelsior's online program?
