I am in my 5th term of 6 at Jersey in the bridge program. If I do not pass the exit exam and graduate, I have a backup plan. There is a college that accepts all of our credits and for 3K and three weekends of classes, they submit paperwork to the BON for our ATT.

I am still working on my ADN, just trying to do some research prior to graduation.

Current LPN-RN students, do you still work? If so what types of hours? Which shifts? Anyone do home health? I am drowning doing these 12 hour 6p-6a shifts Fri and Sat and school/clinicals Mon-Fri 0715-1530. Trying to get some other ideas, I think I am over night shift.

Me too! Also a military spouse, I started my pre-requisites in SC, then transferred to VA, once in VA when I decided to really go for nursing, I figured out I only had 30 months left on that set of orders. I changed my plans to LPN because I knew I knew I could finish the program and start working before we moved. Then we got orders to FL and once here I started to finish up the last few prerequisite classes so I could apply to the LPN-RN bridge. With only two classes left, I met with the advisor and was crushed to hear that with all my transfer credits, my points didn't add up to much and my chances to get into the program were slim, even though I have a good GPA, I just didn't get as many points because I took them all over the place. So I sacked that idea and applied to a private college and I am currently 1/2 way through my LPN-RN bridge. If I had continued at the local community college, I would have just submitted my application to the bridge. They have over 200 applicants to 36 seats. Who knows how long I would have been sitting around waiting to get in.

Go to a private college, costs more but at least you can get a seat and prove you belong there.

In Jacksonville, FL new grad LPN pay for assisted living is $24 an hour.

Anyone attend? Would love to hear from anyone with information about the program.

I got in and will start in September! {67.8}

I got in!! Now I need to decide what to do...

I just thought it would be nice ti have an easy to find list of just Hampton Roads schools

BandZero, what was your GPA?

...and are you able to take the phlebotomy certification exam in VA with the CP training? I know we cant take the CNA test.

What kind of shifts were you offered? I am supposed to start class in Aug, but I am worried the job hours wont work with my family. Do you keep in contact with any CP's from your class?

Scared of failing and needing to take it again.

I was trying to list all of the nursing programs, (RN, ASN, BSN) and I am sure I am missing some. Please help me get a complete list. Sentara Riverside TCC TNCC Fortis Medical Careers Institute Norfolk State Hampton University- Virginia Beach
