Starting a new 2014 thread for AVC hopefuls. Seems on the older thread many of them have started or moved on..

I applied June '13 and was hopeful for this fall, but came just shy. Now I am number 3 on the wait list for Spring '15... Still planning on getting my physical and shots, CPR certs, etc done in case anyone defers or backs out.

Anyone else out there in for this fall, still waiting or also starting in spring? Love to hear from everyone!

hi there, I was hoping someone would post about AVC, hasn't been much lately. I just got my letter last week. Please stay hopeful, you just never know if you get the call over summer break. Getting all the stuff done ahead will be KEY. I was on waitlist for 1 year. I managed to get a spot. Did you pass the TEAS exam? If so, your chances are real good because background checks don't always work out...you never know...

base_ball is right, you still have a very good shot at getting in the fall semester. some may still fail the teas, fail the background, or just accept an offer elsewhere. I believe you will get in, especially since they are known for giving last minute invites.

I have been accepted to the Summer LVN-RN bridge program and was hoping I could get some insight on what to do to prepare, from someone who has already bridged. I work at a prison and feel as if I have lost a lot of my skills/knowledge. The syllabus will be available a week before school, but unfortunately I will be out of the country and wont have access to a computer. I would like to be able to take my books on the plane & study when traveling. Can anyone give me some ideas of what to study/read ahead? TIA

I am trying to stay hopeful! It's nerve wracking! :) yes I took the teas in April and passed. I'm doing what I can just in case- I had my physical last week and am doing the CPR class in August.. Since those are good for 1-2 years. I didn't do the background or drug screening because I don't know how recent it needs to be to entrance date.. Anything else I should do ahead of time in case I get an offer? Thanks so much!

Thank you! Hoping I get a last minute seat! I had my physical last week and am doing the CPR class in August.. Since those are good for 1-2 years. Anything else I should do ahead of time in case I get an offer? Thanks so much! I figured uniform, books, background and drug test would have to wait until I get an offer..

I called this morning and am now 13 on the list- I guess from people who failed the teas or deferred enrollment to a later semester :(

Yesenia, did you apply to lvn bridge program? I don't know any information on that.. I'm a generic RN applicant. But the bridge is the summer class, the regular program is only spring and fall semesters. As far as I know students who were offered a spot for fall are in the middle of completing everything like physicals, drug and background screenings, getting books, uniforms, CPR certs, etc etc.

Good luck!

There isn't much else you can do now, that i can think of. the stuff you mentioned that you still need, would be things you would do after getting accepted.
