LVN - RN Bridge prog in DFW.

by tobelpn

Hi


I graduated as an LVN in Sept 2006 and have been working as a Jail Health Nurse since. I do not have any Med Surg or Hospital experience.
I am interested in enrolling for LVN - RN Bridge prog Full time in 2009. My question is
Which Nursing schools in DFW area accept students without med surg experience??

Grayson County College does - or least they did when I started in Jan 2006. My first job out of LVN program was as a jail nurse, I graduated in July 05 and only had been working for about 4 months when I applied for the GCC LVN-RN program.
