Hi everyone! I didn't know this thread existed so I made one for May 2016 (whoops). I am applying for the program but have yet to retake my hesi. Does anyone know if they look into the hesi's by section or they just look at the cumulative??

HESI scores are by section. 75% or higher is required on all sections.

I see. If a particular section has a score of 79% but the cumulative overall is an 85% does the 79% hurt my chances? Thanks for your response. :)

We do not look at the cumulative score, just the individual sections.

How are the LPNs evaluated for acceptance in the bridge program? And approx. how soon do we hear anything from BC?

The review process is the same as generic students with the exception of having an active Florida LPN license.. In order to be considered, you must have a 2.5 or higher GPA in the pre-req courses (ENC, A&P I and lab, A&P II and lab), College algebra or higher (grade of C or better), HESI Exam (75% or higher on all sections).

For the LPN to RN transition program, we are looking at making decisions around mid March.

How is the competition to get in for the LPNs? Another student posted information about BC wanting to accept 50 students and had around 20 before Christmas break. I applied a few months ago... trying to patiently wait :cool:

We have not run reports yet to see the application numbers. Those reports will not run until the end of next month. Historically, we receive less applications for the transition program, than we do for the generic RN program.

Thank you for taking the time to answer some of my questions.

will anyone be working through the program?

We do not look at the cumulative score, just the individual sections.

When I submit my application do I have to attach every single result of the hesi? I took it a few times and have better scores in some sections on different retakes.
