Apply to TCC, Highline, Olympic, whatever it takes. TRUST ME

Hello. I was just looking back at my old posts and just happen to see this one. I hope it's not a dead forum. I just got the letter that I got in for the LPN-BSN program. I will be starting in Fall 2022. Any advice or questions that you guys can answer?

Hey guys. I was just going to move on from this forum as I will not be a part of it. But I know the feeling of getting rejected or feeling hopeless (as you can see from the last post LOL). So here's my 2 cent before I leave this allnurses behind for good. So...I DID GET INTO a bridge program for Olympic College. The LPN-BSN one! I got the email today and I was literally on the floor crying out of joy when I read it. It was a nerve racking process. I did actually apply to Pierce College for the bridge program 2nd time and of course...denied. My advice...keep applying and NUMEROUS programs. One school is BOUND to snag you awesome people no matter what. You guys were right. Don't let a rejection deter you. It's just all part of the process of producing RNs. I wish yall the best of luck.....and go get those RN degree!

You know...the biggest soul searching/getting back up was the hardest part these past weeks. To those that in, congratulations again and we could not be so much happier for you. To those that encouraged us to get back up and keep a positive mindset...thank you again. I really am starting to believe failure or getting denied is just a huge part of life that will make us stronger or weaker. Yeah I'm not saying it's easy...but dang I realized I needed to be more grateful and reflect on how much far we've come. I remember that day after getting that phone call, I admit I cried in the med room. You know the most beautiful thing my charge RN and my manager reminded me? They rather get a GOOD LPN that can handle the stress, med passes, time management, and resilience than an RN that's arrogant or beating to their own drums without any regards (with all due respect of course). I realize I'd rather face setbacks and grow from it then getting it easy and lose where we came from. I'm certainly not saying be complacent and give up..... Action wise....yeah I have already submitted my applications to other schools. I never been more driven and truthfully angrier/hungrier than ever before. Not for the title or the money in the end...but how much of a value I can be as a nurse and willing to grow from it. I mean...yeah I took the denial personally. I unfortunately tend to have the curse of not forgetting easily (but im trying I promise LOL). Would I reapply to the same school and maybe change their minds? I don't know to be honest. If I did get into another school eventually...then sure it helps me move on I guess. Should I hold a grudge against them? Definitely not. Even though it puts a bad taste in my mouth, IF they let me in...then so be it. I will move on past from that and will give it my all to whoever that took a chance on me. I gotta admit....being a CNA for 4 years before have taught me that I do need to be more grateful and stop being so hungover on one denial. Would we rather be crappy RN's one day...or the denials have helped us even be more compassionate and motivated. After all....alot of nurses ARE getting burned out and walking away from the profession more recently. From that...I realized that I do want to rejoin the military as a nurse corp officer. I realized from this setback, I can be more humbled and learn to serve the staff more. We WILL get into a school that's according to the higher plan and destiny (with all due respect of course). To those that got in or those that chose a different school...regardless of what it may be...I truly wish to hear yall's stories and have a beer and laughing about this life journey one day. I truly believe ALL of us will become RN's one day as long as we get back up and fight for our individual dreams. Thank you for reading this essay. LOL PS. I've heard many stories...but in the end, it was my mom's journey who inspired me. Did you know she was a CNA for 17 years here in the US and took the NCLEX-RN 11 times?! She passed her PN NCLEX the 3rd time first (she didn't go to school here in the US). She was an ICU RN in Korea, but we immigrated here and she had to put food on the table somehow...she told me if she did it, anyone can do it if they just don't give up. Now she's a nurse manager. She laughed at my first school denial knowing it's just gonna make me grow.

I hope I am not intruding or being a nuisance on this forum even though I got denied. I kept getting the comment email and just couldn't resist venting out in a healthy way. I mean...I am a psych nurse so LOL. Yeah it's been truly a tough week. So much up and down on my emotions and it's actually pretty annoying actually. I am actually applying for the Olympic College lpn-BSN program now. Im actually almost done with their application and it's looking a little more...favorable for my current situation (grades, etc.). I take their accuplacer reading test on Dec 3rd and have to get their certain scores (info is on their website). And just to show any committee that I want to improve, I did sign up for classes (Chinese 1, sports psychology, and intro to math just for fun) for GPA improvement and show that I'm not just sitting around the house. Putting my butt-hurt emotions and pride aside...I'll still put in the part time application opening up in January for Pierce. And to whoever that may read this...Green River College is establishing their LPN-BSN program soon.I don't mind sharing information because I do not look at other LPN applicants wishing to get into a program as competition. I look at them as fellow nurses and hopefully be encouraged if in the same situation as I am and never giving up.

I wish I didn't have to type this, but I actually got denied. I will be looking for another school or even try again for the part time bridge opening up in January. It sucks but what can I do? Came too far to quit. I am truly happy for u for reals and congrats!

Well hi there! I was just reading up on forums and just happen to see your post pop up! I did apply for the full time bridge program one. In Fact, im hawking over my phone in the med room just waiting for the dang phone call. I emailed Stania yesterday and she said she will start calling today. its nerve racking for sure. I really want to become an RN now. does it really start April 4th? I kept thinking it starts during Winter quarter!

Hi there. I don't know if this is a dead forum but I might as well as give it a try for some glimmer of hope. I applied for the full-time one bridge-program for the Winter 2022 cycle start and super anxious about it. I submitted my package ASAP the day it opened and still haven't heard back from it. TCC asked if I wanted to apply and been asking my co workers (former LPNs now RN's) to hear if anyone got denied from any bridge programs? So far that I've heard, haven't seen any LPN's that meets the requirements with active license didn't get denied so far.... Super nervous and really wants this opportunity to further my career. Thx guys!

As I am searching for forums on the lpn-RN bridge program (and awaiting results of the application and super anxious), I just happen to run into this forum. I graduated from JJC medic to lpn program in 2017. I relocated from Univ of kentucky to there at the last minute due to dropping out from their BSN program and JJC gave me an opportunity to become an LPN. Definitely a life changing experience for sure. Great program and I loved the professors. I wish I stayed longer and just pursued their lpn to RN bridge program as it was favorable for current JJC students to be accepted. But life got in the way and moved back to Florida. Now I am trying to finish out the bridge program here in west coast. Ull do great there. I low key miss Illinois and the school. If I wasn't settled down here, id move back in a heartbeat!
