LVN/RNBridge

Hello, I am in my second year of an ASN program. Everything at school seemed fine for the first year, but now the school is implementing new policies regarding test scores as well as new criteria in order to pass each semester. From what I understand...

Our policy has always been a 75% to pass a class. The change is that this does not apply for the overall grade, but now applies to each exam. If you do not get a 75% on the midterm, you cannot move forward. I understand the changes, just seems odd to...

Thank you both for your input :)

Hello, The previous thread regarding Kaplan College 2012 was closed, so I thought I would check in with everyone that has or is applying for the January cohort. Anyone get confirmation for January acceptance yet? Sent from my iPhone.

I couldn't agree more with schnookimz. Best of luck on your search for an advisor that works for you :)

Five years as a CNA is great! Unless something has changed, the wonderlic is first and a must pass with a 24 or higher ( you did that). Second is the KTP in which the goal is to get a score in the 90's. Your scores are really close to that, but if yo...

Hi annie_mitchell, Your scores are good. Are you an LVN or do you have a BA in a different field? I have not heard anything about retaking the wonderlic, I only remember one could retake the KTP in order to raise the scores. Things may have changed t...

Hi SteloRose82- I tried to reply, but I am not sure where my post went. Anyway, did you end up doing the KTP and if so, have you heard back on the September cohort?

I agree with most here in that it is best to avoid this student. What is the saying? Cheaters never prosper.

Hello- Have you had an appointment with an advisor yet? I ask because an advisor would be able to provide the best clarity in the enrollment process. Unless things have changed, I believe advisor first. Second- take the 12 min. Wonderlic and pass wit...

Hurst review was terrific, however, I also used Kaplan. Just my opinion, but they both offered great help which when combined gave me the best outcome. Best of luck to you with your studies:-)

Congratulations on the new travel job!! Sounds like its going great:-) All the best on your next assignment!

Hello, I need advice on a new job that I started with an active living facility. Hoping for some advice here and do truly appreciate your time and expertise. This particular facility has about 200 residents with 80 something utilizing nursing servic...

I may be over thinking the statement regarding what I considered a red flag. As far as my bridge. I had 4 years of previous medical experience, but many many years ago.

Great question! I'm not sure exactly how the card looks for a 30-unit RN. I only know that Ca. Is the only state that still offers these programs with other states not accepting RN's that take the 30-unit option. Best to contact the BRN for the exact...

Hello All, Reaching out to students that have a hard time not getting straight A's. Here's my situation- I am a bridge student (LVN-ADN). Currently doing the role transitions class. This class is suppose to be more of a review of LVN school sprinkled...

4.0 for my GE classes and 3.7 in my sciences.

Oh goodness, yes that 30 unit option post is pretty old. Haha

@lawrencecandy I'm sorry, we were not talking about a 30 unit option...were we? This discussion was about grades in nursing school :-)

Hello all- If you are reading this thread, you are either curious or caught up in school drama and want a way out. I'm writing on my iPhone, so I apologize ahead for any typos. There are many issues that arise in nursing school. Stress, a need to stu...

Ahh- I didn't think about using concept mapping. That will be great for med surg. Just thinking of how I can implement mapping in the role transitions class. Thanks so much for the suggestion:-)

First of all, Congrats!!! Secondly, I understand that nervous feeling. I have been out of school since the summer of 2011 and was just offered a job (this is the first interview that I have had, so I am very lucky). At this time, still going through ...

Yeah!!! Congrats on your accomplishment:-)

Yes--in the process now. Graduated and passed NCLEX-PN in 2011, completed an A.S in psych, all BSN GE courses and ended up in a bridge to ADN in January. Anticipated graduation is 2014. If all goes well and I pass NCLEX-RN (God willing) I will roll i...

I can relate to being a bit overwhelmed with nursing school decisions. Just like you, I also checked out National. In addition, I had applied to three schools and after considering all of my options, I ended up choosing Kaplan. Doing my VN program, ...
