LVN to RN program at AVC

Hello...just wanting to start a thread to see if anyone has any info they can provide about Antelope Valley Community College's LVN to RN bridge program? Little about me...I was a faithful COC student for 5 years and when I applied to the program, I got a ridiculous lame denial. I am super disappointed but oh well, so I applied to AVC in March of this year. I called the Nursing Office and was told that I am #53 on the waitlist. Not sure what that means. Do I get ready for fall 2018? or assume it will be sometime in 2019. From what I gather, I need to call them weekly for waitlist # updates to see if I have moved up but I am curious on what others can share about their experience. By the way, I paid to take the TEAS VI and passed successfully 1st attempt. My pre-reqs are all done but 2 (philosophy and a history class) that I plan to take online this summer. Any advice given is appreciated...thank you

hello Have you heard back from AVC for summer 2019?

Well since I posted this, I took an additional history and philosophy class to satisfy AVC's pre-req requirements. I also had the Nursing Counselor update my Ed Plan. I have not talked to anyone at AVC in months and last I was told, was that I had to wait till mid April when letters are mailed. Last I was told that I will more than likely start this summer but who knows till they get their paperwork together since they go by USPS mail, this will take a while. Do you know your number? I hate the wait but I don't think they are getting back to anyone right now.

I know the feeling of waiting. I’m number 3 and I waited two years since they give this program once a year and they only take 20. But last year September I got a letter that if I was still interested for summer 2019 and I said yes and that I would get a letter by April 2019.

Wow, your number is great! I am #23 but that was the last I heard. I am probably cutting it close but I am praying to start this Summer 2019, as well. I am told they take 20 LVNs but really like 23 with alternates. I got the same letter last year too.

When did they say you were 23? Your very close. That’s was my number last year lol. I hope you get in. Waiting sucks. But if some do not make it through the background check then you have a chance.

I want to say that was like Jan or so. I am sure my number has gone up a little cause I had everything done. They even commented that I took the TEAS VI on my own and did good the 1st attempt, so I would probably start this summer but we shall see. I am scared not knowing but all I can do is pray and wait.

That’s really good!!! You should call again since letters are coming out April. Im still scared even though I’m #3. I hope that all goes well for you. Your so close!!!!

Thank you!! You too! My friend is in the LVN to RN program at AVC now and she says that I will get in. It is just nerve wracking waiting and not knowing. I am sure you are in with that number. You just need a 62 on your TEAS.

Your welcome!! Yes it is nerve wrecking. But once we are in that’s it. The counselor told me it goes sooo fast. I hope to see you this summer. Best of luck and take care!

Yes!!! I don't like how they will split the LVN's up but it is how they run the program. I look forward to starting and seeing everyone as well.

Hi....I actually spoke with someone in the nursing office today! I am told that my # is the same and letters will be sent out sometime this month. Who knows where this leaves me. So, just keep a lookout for your acceptance letter ?

I’ve been calling and no one answers. Great!!! I look at my mail everyday since they said April. Hopefully this week or next week. You might have to wait until next year like me. I was 23 last year. I was told by the nursing director that only if someone does not pass the background check I could possible get in but I knew I wouldn’t. So then after May I called and I was finally #3. And here I am waiting for my package.
