CNA to LPN to BSN

Published

Good morning everyone!

Tomorrow morning I am going to take my TB skin test so that I can (hopefully) get enrolled for a CNA course. I also plan on taking my TEAS Exam within the next month. For the practical nursing program I hope to get accepted into I need to pass with a 70% in reading and a 44% in math to get on the waiting list. I realize that when I transfer into a LPN to BSN program I'll need to retake it and get good scores in all subject areas. I'm a little nervous still. I'm not very good at math. Can anyone who's taken it let me know their opinions if a 44 is difficult to score in the math portion? This particular LPN program is self paced. You have to be able to attend class 24 hours a week. So hopefully I can find a employer as a CNA that will let me work 3 twelve hour shifts. Can anyone who has completed or is currently enrolled in a self paced LPN/ADN/BSN/etc. program let me know how it works and what I can expect?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Are you going to Canadian valley?? Those were the scores I had to make. I am not great at math, but it's really not hard to make a 44%. I did brush up on my math, but you'll get it.

Yes! That's where I'm going to take my CNA and plan to take my LPN classes. I am awful at math, but you would suggest do some brushing up? May I ask how long you were on the waiting list? And how long did it take you to complete the program?

Yeah, I checked out a teas review book from the library and went over the math and reading. I actually am doing the link to nursing first and then I'll bridge over to finish the program. I will start mid September. I chose that route bc I didn't want to wait 4-6 months on the waiting list when I can just be doing half of the program until my name comes up.

Is this a program in the US? I'd like to find out more. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. It is a self paced program in El Reno, OK. Here's the link to the information packet.

***Update!***

I'm signed up to take the TEAS exam a week from tomorrow. I'm super nervous! Math is not my strong point.
