Lower Columbia College- LPN2RN elearning

NurseBritt1: Thank you! I’m really hoping it’s good enough. And good luck to you too!

What materials are you using to study for Kaplan? I purchased the online NCLEX-PN Qbank & eBook and have been using random Quizlets I’ve found online.

Keri_Price: Thank you for sharing the information on the campus LPN to RN bridge. I also checked that I am interested in being considered for it and was wondering what the schedule would look like. Im taking my TEAS on July 12th at TCC and the Kaplan on the 25th at LCC. Good luck!

NurseBritt1 and Nursebarcena: Great scores! I took the TEAS back in 2017 without studying and got 74.7. Im definitely studying this time around. I work with two people who got in last year to the elearning. One had a 82 and the other had a 79.7. From what I was told, 79 was the lowest they took last year. for TEAS, however, it changes year to year based on the scores they get I assume. I even know of someone who made it in a few years ago with a 72 on their TEAS. I keep pushing my date out to take my TEAS. Sadly I remember nothing from the math and science sections. I know that knowing formulas, fractions, and conversions is needed for math and science is everything.?‍♀️ Maybe you ladies would be willing to shed some lights on the must knows topics. Of course I completely understand if you don't.lol

Good luck to everyone!

Nursebarcena: I bought those as well with the e book! Other than that I also downloaded the mastery app on my phone.

nurseuhlisuh: I found that the book from ATI was a good resource for me. It has a general overview of everything that may be on the test without going in too much detail. Good luck to you ? I hope everyone does great!

Thank you! I did pocket prep for the TEAS and I was really just winging all of it. I’m hoping they send the notice letters sooner rather then later. It seems like August doesn’t give us a lot of time to be ready for a September start.

I had heard from others to do like NCLEX prep. I did three 10 question practice tests from pocket prep NCLEX-PN on the drive down (my friend read me the questions), but that was it. It was pretty similar to NCLEX for me.

Dani: are you applying for just the elearning or campus option too?

Just the elearning. I work full time and have a family so I don’t think going to class every day is an option right now.

Plus the commute is pretty long for me

Dani- Way to go! Those scores rock!

I ordered the ATI TEAS book to study, it was a helpful overview. I did find that the mometrix on youtube was far more beneficial. I studied that the last few days before the test and it helped a ton!! Taking the Kaplan transitions tomorrow. So unsure about this test!
