LVN to RN program at AVC

Published

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

Yeah okay. I thought there was more than the physical and immunization. Well they need to hurry lol.

Right? Like some people don't have medical insurance or their dr doesn't have availability. I just pray the letters are mailed soon!

Has to be because May 1st is priority registration I believe. Unless it’s way different when your in the program.

Yes there is. MMR and Hep B can have immunity proven with titers. Nursing students will probably also need a 2 step TB test and that is done 1 week apart. Really, you will need at least several weeks notice of acceptance to turn everything into the Nursing Office. I just hope they realize all of this.

I know right!! I’m getting tired of waiting. Im getting anxious just knowing that we have all this stuff to do and I’m sure they will pressure us because they want it by the deadline.

It has to be this week. That’s too long of a wait. I wonder if I should schedule a physical appointment now. ?

I pray for all you nurses to get that acceptance letter! I remember crying last year when I found out I just barely missed the group of chosen LVN’s. Everything happens for a reason though and maybe this is the year we are all meant to shine and start the program! Have faith and keep on the lookout. When I spoke to the receptionist over the phone, she mentioned she didn’t have an exact day but that the letters should be sent out sometime in April ?

I knew that I wasn't going to start last summer cause I barely applied 3 months prior and I had a few classes that they wanted me to complete prior to graduation. I agree with you and I accept gods will. What is meant to be will be. I am sure it is this week we will all find out. Best of luck and hope to see you in June ?
