Dallas LVN looking to bridge

Published

Hello all! I am an LVN with no clinical experience and I would love to get my RN sooner than later. As of now, I only know of El Centro starting in Fall '11 but does anyone know of any other program that doesn't require me to sit in class several days/week? I have heard from other nurses that since I am already an LVN, I cannot attend a BSN program like UTA or TWU, so that leaves very few options. I have read the posts about Excelsior and do not want to gamble $2K on a 3-day clinical that I could very well fail just from being nervous or the preceptor grades harshly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
