Collin College LVN to RN bridge Summer 2022

[rosthenurse]

I am making this thread in hopes of finding students that will be applying to the Collin College LVN to RN bridge program for Summer 2022. I am so nervous because I am still taking Microbiology but I was told to apply any way. I just wanted to create a space where we can be anxious together and wait the process out. I turned in my application on 03/30/2022 and I did not do well on the TEAS. I look forward to hearing from others!

You should be fine. However I am in the program and would never recommend it to a person. They essentially make you redo your whole LVN in 16 weeks then expect you to do the whole RN year in 16 weeks. If you’re not a working student the program is okay. Personally I’d go with somewhere that lets you skip redoing your LVN year and do the 1 year if RN only. A lot of ppl in our program are pretty pissed about the way they run it. It used to be you got credit for LVN now you get none and skip no classes you just do them at an extremely accelerated pace.

Wow! So how many days out of the week do you have class? Honestly my LVN was pretty accelerated it was a 10 month program. We did a full semester in two months. I definitely feel your frustration, I cried my entire program.

Mine was the same. My only issue is making me redo my LVN like I didn’t go to school. All others give credit for it and let you skip so you do 16 of health care concepts 3 and then 16 weeks of health care concept 4. If you don’t mind repeating and shortening the time though then I thinks it’s okay for someone. It doesn’t shorten the program though you go the same amount as every school you just do double the work in half the time (courses). Also you have to do 14 hours of volunteer time a semester. You have a 3 tests, a final, 2 practice ATI tests and a comprehensive ATI in 8 weeks. Have to have higher than a 70%. Not really any points to earn in class so you can’t fail any tests. 
 

It was Monday and Tuesday but I think the next group will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Because the board changed clinicals for us.

I feel you…I’m gone go for it though. I just want my RN, so I can’t complain it’s a need for me. You got it though, praying you and your class finish strong, it’s gone be worth it in the end.

I am applying to the bridge program for Summer, if you can help me and let me know what the cut number of points for acceptance in your group was, so I decide if I need to repeat my TEAS or not.

Shoot for 18 application points or better. Get As and Bs in your prerequisite classes and a score of 70% or better on the TEAS exam to be considered. Also Collin College will not consider you if you have recently failed/dropped out of a nursing program at any other school.
