Mine doesn't include specific skills, hopefully we'll get something on Saturday. I have to prepare as I've forgotten all my skills.

Oh I see... Thought I was missing something. And same here! I've been in hospice since 2007. Skills are not utilized as much as you would use in an acute care setting. We'll manage though!

Congrats Jen. It's been a long day and I'm finally home. Got my letter today and I'm also on the wait list. I'll be seeing you and Endy on the 7th. I'm still debating whether it's a good or bad thing, but I'm just glad I finally got an answer. I guess not having the Psych and Speech class worked against me, ugh. Mine did not include a check list either, so hopefully we'll get it on Saturday. I'm definitely going to utilize the skills lab cause I'm very rusty. Practice, practice, practice...

I guess I have to wait another week or so before I decide about my job. Ok, now I need to concentrate on my final speech and paper which are due in 24 hrs.

@joeaa , hope you get yours on Monday.

@lencd Omg!!! Congrats!!!! So happy to read of your great news. You and I probably have similar letters. When I first read it I was like "Nnnnoooooo!!!" Lol! I wonder how many people are placed on wait list considering that there's only 25 LVN's accepted. I'm glad we found each other on here and I'm definitely looking forward to meeting you all! We should wear AllNurses.com badges so we know who is who hahaha!!!!

Thanks Jen and Endy. I'm so glad to have found you guys here too cause it helps a lot going into our new adventure. See you all on Saturday.

@joeaa we're just waiting on your letter... I'm praying everything works out in your favor. You should just call tomorrow and ask. You may have the same issue as I did; mail was in my neighbors box (they only visit during holidays). Let us know the outcome!!!

Hello... it's been so quiet here. Any updates?

Jen30 · May 5, 2016

I was just thinking of AllNurses and thought the same. Just waiting on Saturday:nailbiting:

I called the school on Wednesday and asked what happens to the waitlisted applicants if there were no spots available. Maria said that we can still go through the summer program and then join Semester 3 in the Spring (instead of this August). Yay, sounds good to me.

Good morning! I just graduated late may and can be a wealth of information. Let me know what you wanna know! It can be frustrating. I was also an LVN and did the transition last summer. xo

Hello everyone! OMG I just read the whole thread and I am soooo excited about my application to the bridge program this year (2018). I applied twice to the generic program without luck. First time they said my transcripts arrived late. 2nd time the cut-off was 77 points and my application had 76 points only. In the process, I finished my VN program and decided to retake Anatomy so I did and got an A. Now I am applying with 84 points (took the humanities requirement as well) to the bridge program. I have been patiently waiting to hear from them for a month and a half, but now that I've read this thread realize that I will have to wait a little longer than I expected. I guess they don't start notifying until the 3rd week of April. It's okay! I've been waiting so long to get accepted, I have learned to be patient.

Question for those who have either finished the bridge program, or are in the process of finishing: If you could go back in time, what would you study ahead of time? Can you provide me with the name of the textbooks so I can see if I can get used ones on amazon and start studying now? Any info will help. Thank you so much for your time in reading and responding to my questions. I really appreciate it. Good vibes to everyone :)
