well, i'm lucky. i got all of my basics out of the way so all i have to take is the 1 mobility class, one day a week all day. we are going to do 10 weeks of class then the remainder of the semester will be clinicals. i don't know why they chose to do it that way but it suits me!!!congrats to you to!!

:bluecry1:Starting LPN to RN mobility in January. Is the Mobility semester really as hard as everyone says it is? What can I expect this semester? Thanks...

i graduated ayers in 2001 and am about to start mobility at southern union. what a small internet world!! any of this sound familiar to you?

i have been an lpn for 8 years and have a 20 year old friend right now, much like yourself, who is having much difficulty getting into rn school. i never recommended lpn to her until she began to have so much of a problem with her grades affecting her application status. when i got into mobility and she got yet another denial letter for rn school i pointed out the positives of lpn to her. they include that yes it is much easier to get into and she could be working at a higher rate of pay as an lpn vs a nursing assistant when she did bridge over. most schools now have what is called a track ii, which is similar to lpn mobility except that you must have graduated as an lpn within the last 2 years. what this means is that once you finish lpn you can go right into rn with only 1 "wasted" semester. a small price to pay but it would keep you moving instead of wasting time trying to get into rn and being disappointed every application. i don't recommend going to lpn at all but for some of us it is the best option. if you absolutely do not want to go to lpn, the best option is to retake you basics with all a's. good luck. i know you will make the best choice for you!
