If you're asking me, I went to the info mtg, testing, interview process last fall for last month's class and wasn't accepted. I'm on the 'roll over' list for summer class.

That was my plan, too. Many schools list an LVN-RN Bridge Program but ask them how many students actually get in to them. So far, 5 schools that I've talked to have admitted 2 students into their bridge programs in the last 5 years. Not good odds.

Kyrstal, thank you for this update. These are reasons for me to pause and rethink. FYI about LVN - RN Bridge programs. In my research, they are even harder to get into than an RN program. I've spoken to 5 different schools (National, MSJC, CSUSM, ...

Ok, I had to go digging for this info re: therapeutic communications. I had a class in college (another state) that had the same name. It was for ministers, therapists, social workers, pre-med, nursing, etc. It was how to talk effectively with pat...

Ok, got a form email from R-- this morning saying that I was not selected for the Jan. class. If I wanted to be put on the rollover list for July, to let them know. Of course, I hit reply and said 'yes, please put me on the rollover list for July a...

Well, I'm sure they are swamped with everything running late for a mid-Jan start. We'll get notified either at the last minute to scramble and quality or try again for the next class. At this point, I'll look forward. :)

Nope, no call or email I'll start studying for the HESI-A2 re-take and improve my scores next round. That's all I can think of to improve my chances for the next class.

Congrats to all of you who have gotten through FA & Admissions! :w00t:

Ahh that's good info, Jewels, thank you :)

I just sent a quick, pleasant email to her in hopes of finding out where I am in the process, too, Jewels.

Good morning, all :) Here's hoping the rest of us get our 'phone call' from FA and/or Admissions tomorrow:redbeathe

Thank you for this small and oh-so-important detail, DexandMon! I don't have an FA appt altho I interviewed in Nov. Now I can keep my hopes up to get into the Jan class. Happy New Year, everyone

Hi, Jewels, come over here and sit by me. :) We can stare at the phone together. Hopefully 'the phone call' will be our New Year surprise.

Congrats, kimoleka

Thanks, Jewels. That means we're not out of the running yet. :)

Thank you, kimoleka! I'll now return to staring at my phone

kimoleka, if you mean the online SAR, I got mine the next day altho that may be cuz my IRS stuff is all electronic? At least, we know the school is open thru tomorrow. I would think the campus would close on Friday and maybe as early as Thursday. A...

Anyone get 'the phone call' today?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, Jmira :-)

Congrats, Jmira

My math score was 86 and my english(s) were >95. My interview was Nov. 16th. And now...I wait with the rest of you. Atlho I did go ahead and renew my CPR card and annual TB test as they're due in November anyway. FYI - I've had better results get...

EMT, if they were willing to interview you after the scheduled appointment, I'll bet they'll take into consideration that you were not at your best. :) It says a lot for Everest that would accommodate you and also for you, that you followed through ...

This has been a fun thread to read :) I had my essay and interview on Tues 11/16 = 90 min. I *finally* got my HS to mail an official transcript today. Ok, I graduated from HS in the Stone Age so it takes more time to chisel a copy. Now I'll join...

Ahh, I wondered where the required clinical hours would be. Thank you! Now I can ask if a current job will count as hours, if you must be supervised and exactly what will count toward those extra hours *before* I sign on the dotted line. Was there...

A&P and Pharmacology were the hardest but I think that's true of every nursing program. Just take it day by day and don't get behind. You'll have to take the NCLEX and get your 'you passed' letter before you can get an LVN job. One of my classm...
