Hi all, Just thought I would start a thread to see who applied for the upcoming 2018 cohort. I also wanted to check in and see how your experience has been so far through the application process. As for me, so far, I think I'm doing really well! I...

I went to SJVC Visalia! Bridge program was 1 year. Traditional is 2 years I believe. SJVC Visalia alumni here! :) 1 year for the bridge :) SJVC Visalia in California!

Congrats!!!!

Congratulations!!!

For our cohort, some of my classmates found out in beginning Nov and others found out late October :)

Everyone is supposed to receive that email regardless if accepted or not. Sometimes there are glitches between SJVC's server and personal emails so don't sell yourself too short :) The finance email is just a reminder to have your finances in order ...

I'm so sorry for the late reply! Yes, I did receive an email regarding finances. Make sure to check your spam! Also, it doesn't hurt to follow up with Mitzi

The list is out! They're gonna start making phone calls tomorrow. Good luck!

Yes, I've spoken to a few instructors. Almost 200 applicants for the bridge program alone! So crazy.

My friend who also applied called Mitzi yesterday. They'll be starting phone calls next week! :)

You are very welcome!! I THINK I understand what you mean when you're talking about the levels of the funds exam, lol! They recently implemented points for levels when you take the proctored tests. For each term, you will need to take an ATI procto...

It is most definitely accredited! :)

To everyone who applied for Cohort 14 LVN-RN bridge, when/if you get chosen, please take my advice when I say PLS HELP ONE ANOTHER. You will be a unit and although 1 year is a short amount of time, it could feel like a lifetime once you're actually i...

Yes! One of my classmates had a GPA of 2.5 so you definitely have a good chance! :)

Hi! Not sure how many points I received (can't remember), but according to one of my instructors whom I've grown very fond of, and who was also a part of my panel interview, I received the highest points possible. I received the full points for the i...

Save your money!! Those questions are on Quizlet.

I did the practice questions from the ATI Fundamentals book 9.0!! I have the PDF for it so if you want me to send it to you in email, I'd be happy to! I also downloaded the app called RN Mentor. Oh, and there are ATI practice questions on Quizlet. Ju...

Awww that's definitely something to think about! What's great about this program is that you're in school 3 days a week (except for the first 6 weeks, which is 4 days a week). School 3 days a week made it doable for me to still work full time and tak...

I'm so sorry for the late reply! How'd you do!?

Hi! I'm so sorry you're going through that. First off, did you set up an appointment with Mitzi? She is the admissions rep for the RNs at SJVC and handles all of your appointments from there on out. If you want my advice, I would go in as a walk-in. ...

Hi! Good job on starting the process! I scored a level 3, my science GPA was 4.0, my interview went very well (I had a 3 panel interview). I felt like they asked me more personal questions than anything else, which was fine with me :) I've been hear...

You are correct! Sometimes they switch it up each year :)

You take the fundamentals test first. Then after that, they schedule an interview for you. On the day of your interview, you meet with fin aid after. Even before getting accepted, you still have to show that you either applied for Salliemae and got a...

Per Rumorville, usually if someone doesn't take his or her seat and was accepted, they just blew their chance and won't be offered again. So to answer your Q, I'm not 100% sure. Sorry!

Update as of 1/11/18: We are on our third alternate. One alternate dropped before class started. Another one came, but she felt like she was already so behind so she dropped. And now we have the third alternate who started today.
