Admission to Temple College (HESI), LVN vs. LVN bridge or Associate RN 2011

Published

Hi, I am hoping to gather some information here. I have been reading several posts that have offered a great deal of information. I am an older adult (43), who is interested in going back to school and enter the nursing program at Temple College. I'm open to entering in the LVN, LVN bridge or Associates RN program. Ultimately, I would prefer to get my RN, but want to see what the best route is given my specifics.

It has been several years since I have had math and english. I havce other History and Psychology classes that will help me avoid the reading comprehension portion of the test. Unfortunately I don't not have math or english, so I will have to refresh my memory of those for the Accuplacer test for admission. Does anyone know how this test is related to the HESI? Or is it much more simple? I'm only interested in passing the Accuplacer test so I can take the necessary pre-requisites.

As I understand it, Temple College HESI does not test on A &P, or Chemistry. I have purchased the HESI Admission Assesment exam review 2nd edition. Is this a good book for the test? I've also found through a thread a link from West Coast University with 182 pages of study guide for the HESI, and it looks fairly detailed. Anyone know if this is overkill or not?

Another concern I have is regarding critical thinking on the HESI. From what I have read, medical terminology or A&P are used in these scenarios. Would using a basic medical terminology quick reference guide help with this?

So my hope is to take the 2 co-requisites (BIOL 2404 in the spring 2011), ITSE 1294 (Fall 2010).

Hopefully take the HESI between Oct 1 and Dec 1, 2010 to be eligible for the LVN program Summer 2011.

Has anyone done the LVN bridge? I see other pre-requisites are, BIOL 2401, 2402, 2421, and PSY 2301 (already have) and 2314. Has anyone successfully taken these course while in the LVN program, and were ready for the next year RN program?

Hoping to find others who are in similar situations, or thinking of some of these things as well.
