LVN TO RN BRIDGE PROGRAM

I took a blow? the first time in the lvn to rn program and now 4 yrs passed already! I am ready to get back in the program at 48? speaking to my older nurses who went back to school in their 40's please tell me how you succeeded? I don't need to take my pre-reqs over thank god?, but I do have to take the teas again?, i failed it the first time. Any advice on studying and achieving a passing score all while working full-time? I am nervous and afraid at the same time!

Thank you

    I am in my mid-late 40's and I did it. I found a place that offers TEAS prep course and I paid out of pocket for this. It cost a bit but it was 5 days/8 hours each class and I passed the TEAS the 1st attempt. I didn't even just pass, I did better than that. So I would suggest doing that and I would suggest a study group. Try to relax and pray! Assure your mind that you are ready and you got this!!!

    Thank you :) I looked into TEAS PREP Class here in San Antonio but in order for me to attend prep classes I had to be enrolled in at least one class. Was that the case with you?

    No, I went to a private school just for the prep class. So they didn't care about any pre reqs or course enrollment. Google TEAS Prep in your area and start researching the right place for you.

    Hi! I am in my 40's going back for my RN as well. I have one prerequisite left and was told I need to take the ATI PN Predictor which seems odd, but maybe I'll have to take the ATI RN predictor later.. Anyway is this the same as the TEAS I see some have referred to? I finished LPN program in 1997 so a little nervous to take this exam!!

    You can do it! When I was going for my RN from my LVN, there were a few people in their 50s. It will be a breeze for you!

    Good Luck,
