Temple College LVN to RN 2014

[summerblessing]

Hey all!!! Just wondering if there were any other LVN's in Central Tx that will be applying to next years ADN program at TC? Or if anyone bridged recently that can give me some advice?

I am finishing up my last prereq this summer, and I am already soooooo nervous about applying! A few of my co-workers had applied this year and didn't get accepted. That makes me nervous! One has been an LVN for 17 years! I've only been one 5, so my anxiety level is through the roof!

I have a really good GPA, so I really hope I get accepted, but as far as I know, they only accept 35 bridgers.

Anyway, I just figured I could reach out and find others out there in the same boat as me, that way we can go through this together!

hi summerblessing my name is Maggie. I have been following this forum with you guys for two days. I have been accepted as well into the bridging program at temple. I was trying to get some info to see if they make it hard for you to pass or they help you. I went to a different lvn program so it kind of scary starting somewhere new where you don't know anyone. hope to hear from you soon.

Summer is a DOLL!! I havent got to personally meet her but she will respond as soon as she gets on here :) Im glad you found this thread- Temple College students are RARE on here it seems. Good luck. I start the LVN program and I know no one going there yet, my girls that followed on here will be going to Taylor as it is for now. So its nice that there are as least people up stairs

Summer is also on our ..ADN/LVN 2014 post, I think thats what its called. Thats the one we have been following closer as we were waiting for everyones acceptances together. :)

hey angpatridge, yeah i was trying to link up with people that got accepted in the bridging program and i see it is not that many of them on here. When do you start the Lvn program? Its a breeze once you get into it and get the studying. Ayear goes by quick.

[AngPartridge3]

It start in June, i believe well be starting at the same time as you bridgers. Im excited and nervous altogether, Summer will be excited theres another bridger with her :)

[summerblessing]

I am sooooooo excited!!!!! I havent been able to find other bridgers, aside from you! I know there will be 27 of us, though!

[mz32]

yeah thats true. I dont know anybody in the bridger at all. its nice to get acquainted with people that have the same goals as all of us.

[mz32]

Yeah i am ecxited as well. I was shocked that i got in being my first time applying and living in austin

which is out of district but now i am super excited. Do you know if the bridge program is intense like the Lvn was? i hope not because i am trying to see if i can still work untill the fall semester when its more classes. Am super excited. i have been an lvn for almost four years now and i am ready to get this past me and meet new people.t

[summerblessing]

Way to go! A friend of mine named Donald JUST graduated from the bridge. He said it was the easiest year ever. He said it is nowhere NEAR as intense as LVN school, because we don't focus skills or learning about diseases. He said the hardest thing was learning to think like an RN and develop care plans.

I will be working throughout the entire thing. Bleh. But, I am doing pedi home health now, so its way easier to study. You sound like me! Only, Ive been an LVN 6 years. I feel like its been 60 years though. I feel old!!!! I cant wait to meet you during orientation!

[AngPartridge3]

Now im scared again lol. Im so glad yall found a buddy. This is going to be a great year :)

[mz32]

Girl yeah I guesss people always try to scare each other that the Rn bridge is hard but I heard it is not because it is material that we already know and are familiar with. We will be alright and we will make it until the end even if we have to loose sleep over it. Yeah I cant wait to meet you on orientation as well. We just have to keep an eye out for the blue pass from the BON coming from the mail. The drive is not bad either for me because am in cedar park so its just 45 minute drive. Am super excited. Got tired of being supervised by an RN lol.

[mz32]

No girl don't be scared. I have been through it and you can too. its not hard its just that you have to study and know your material like any other class I promise you. yeah I am glad I found a bridger I can correspond with it makes things easier.
