@MrsRtTerry I got that same email for the generic program though. Either you didn't specify you were applying for the bridge or they made a mistake when sorting the applications

I'm positive I selected the option to start 3rd semester 2021. PLUS I included all of my requirements for bridge program, LVN diploma, copy of license, transcripts, IV/blood draw cert....in addition to the requirements needed for generic program ? Also, every page of the application has information that has to be filled out that is exclusive to LVN...not sure what happened here.

Good morning !! Thank you ! I’ve attached the emails .. I’m still holding on and it hasn’t hit me yet LOL so I received an email saying I got in on 3/22 after I accepted I received the welcome packet on 3/24 .
Summer transition begins 5/17 .
what were your stats ? I haven’t met any other lvn w the acceptance ? so I’m not sure I wish I did

My GPA and TEAS score were good enough to get in, I wasn't worried about that. I'm going to contact Lugo, see what happened.

I see hmm ? I have no idea but I applied 5/2019! My BFF had a 3.8 GPA in sciences ans a 4.0 in general I think, lvn and wasn’t selected this year

@karina paredes those were good stats for her to get denied. what were your stats if you don’t mind.

@MrsRtTerry yes message her because if you checked for the bridge that’s their fault

@Futurenurse661 I did, no response. I also emailed Waller, who is the one that sent me the email about the RN program. She responded, but didn't answer my question as to why I was sent that email. She was able to confirm that my application was for the bridge program, but that because I had attached unofficial transcripts ALONG with all the other OFFICIAL transcripts I sent in, that my application wasn't being considered. That's such ***. They are VERY strict about following their application procedure and such a tiny oversight of a requirement or inclusion of something they don't want, will basically disqualify your application. I also haven't received a response from any of them, including the DON, I reached out to ALL of them prior to sending my application for clarification on a couple of things....all with no response until it's too late ?

@MrsRtTerry wow so did they dismiss your official transcripts? did they just saw the unofficial transcripts and stopped going through your application? that is messed up. their communication is awful they rarely ever reply and their answers are almost never helpful. sorry you going through this.

I’m so sorry !! :(((( where were your “unofficial “ transcripts from ?? Also when is the next Lvn to RN open application window for you ?

I think for bridge is only once a year right deadline is always January/February?

MrsRtTerry, LVN, EMT-B · Mar 29, 2021

@Futurenurse661 it's a little more complicated that that. I was waiting on transcripts FROM AVC, I had ordered them weeks prior. They wouldn't allow me to come in and pick them up, they didn't offer expedited shipping, OR even tracking info once ordered....It took FOUR weeks to receive them from a third party vendor out of Illinois! I kept getting the excuse that COVID was slowing everything down. I am so furious....anyway, when I did receive them I mailed them OVERNIGHT USPS registered mail signature required, separate from my application as I had already sent in my application with the unofficial transcripts for the ONE English class that I TOOK AT AVC!! Oh well....wasn't meant to be this year. Absolutely ridiculous that they require official transcripts from their OWN school ?

Futurenurse661, CNA · Mar 29, 2021

@MrsRtTerry wow that is ridiculous for one class at their own school. was this the only school you applied to?

MrsRtTerry, LVN, EMT-B · Mar 29, 2021

@Futurenurse661 yes only once a year....and yes....only school I applied to because Bakersfield is only accepting waitlisted applicants for thier bridge program ?

@karina paredes unofficial transcripts were from THEIR school, while I waited for the official to arrive, which I sent in as well, but after my application was sent in.

Waller just emailed me and said she will look for my transcripts and if she can find them she will keep my application on file....it's OK. It's in God's hands. I'm just thankful to be working and have a good job through all this craziness. I wish you all the best of luck and blessings on your next step!! Congratulations!
