  4. Info on UTA online RN-BSN?

    Jess84 replied to Jess84's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I finally received my "transfer report" just now. I initially wanted to start in Feb but one of my transcripts didn't make it in time. I am now supposed to get in contact with an advisor to see what...

    Awesome to hear that there are several of us applying, or starting soon. How long should I expect to receive an admissions decision? I'm really hoping they are generous with the transfer credits. I...

    Jess84 replied to x_factor's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Galen Tampa LPN-RN program?

    Jess84 replied to Jess84's topic in LPN to RN

    A&P can be taken at Galen but it probably won't transfer to other schools as of yet, also it is very difficult so I hear. I believe most students who failed in those first 2 quarters did so...

    Is is possible to go through Excelsior for my LPN to RN bridge, then transfer to USF or SPC for BSN? I was planning on calling each school to see, but was curious if anyone knew off hand. I really...

  11. Excelsior Brdige then SPC or USF??

    Jess84 replied to Jess84's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would encourage you to contact both schools directly. I didn't end up going that route, I actually am finishing up the RN program at Galen, but during my last round of clinicals, I was paired with a...

  12. Galen Tampa LPN-RN program?

    Jess84 replied to Jess84's topic in LPN to RN

    My advice is to stay on task and not get behind. Most of those we've lost are from A&P and/or Micro. I believe we also lost a few from Pharm (very tough) and CPE's. Thankfully I didn't have to...

    Jess84 replied to Jess84's topic in LPN to RN

    I've been on city-data and yes, there's a lot of self loathing going on there. I have lived in FL for most of my 26 years and honestly can't see myself living elsewhere, I love the beaches, sunshine,...

    Jess84 replied to terasa83's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have not heard anything about the Center in Brandon, but the last time I checked the LPN tuition for Galen was around 14k. I would also advise visiting both schools to see their facilities, talk to...

  18. Galen Tampa LPN-RN program?

    Jess84 replied to Jess84's topic in LPN to RN

    I didn't find the PAX too difficult, but I know they do have a practice booklet if you wanted to do some practice before the real thing. Check and see if any credits transfer, it definitely saves on...

  19. Galen Tampa LPN-RN program?

    Jess84 replied to Jess84's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't think it's that hard really, you just have to have your licence and CPR card and pass the PAX. You also have to be willing to pay the costs, which can be reduced if you transfer credits
