Wow, I wish we had something similar here in TX. LVN in 8.5 mos? Incredible. I wish I had something of value to share with you but don't. Good luck!
P.S. Math stinks, doesn't it?! I have Algebra right now and it's the pits. My son had Honors Algebra last year and has been tutoring me but I still don't get it. No hope for me, I guess.

There isn't really a "bridge" program where I live, but the local community college has an LVN program. The company that runs the facility where I work is paying for some CNAs to go through the program, on condition that we work for them for iirc 2 years after graduation. The program is 12 months, and it's really a good deal.

I don't know of a bridge program where I live either...not for CNA to LPN. I'm in my 1st semester of the LPN program which is an 18 month program.
8.5-12 months, wow!
I like the program I am in, but I have a LOT to learn...lots, and lots of info!
Good luck!

Hi, im in california and i have not heard of a bridge program from cna to lvn. If you take the lvn program at the community college its 18months and it cost about 435.00 a semester and we go through 3 semesters. Now if you go through a private school it would cost you between 18,000 and 30,000. now the ones that cost 18,000 the class is one year and the one that cost 28,000 western career college is 18 months. sorry i got to go talk to yyall latter
