Hi! I ordered two! Just in case I lose one, I have another one on hand. They were only like $6 a piece. All they ask for is your name on the Meridy's website. The uniforms aren't that bad looking either. I got mine yesterday. I can say that I have purchased EVERYTHING; the books, uniforms, shoes, etc.... I had to go ahead and get all this stuff out of the way before the holidays. I am soooo excited but very nervous to start.

Hi! You can go to your local health department and get the titer's done. Not sure how much it will cost though. But it would probably cost much more to get it done at a doctor's office.

Got my acceptance letter today! I will see all of the bridge students Nov. 8 for orientation! I'm so happy you did it keepmoving! I told you not to worry! See ya in a few weeks!

I hate playing the waiting game! I run to my mailbox everyday waiting for the yes/no into program. Really, they should just go ahead and make the decisions! What could be taking them this LONG! Ugh......

Interview went okay. Its so hard to tell. Guess we have to play the waiting game now until end of September!

This is going to sound stupid, but how do i check for a personal message on here?

Keepmoving- I talked with the nurse I work with that is in the program this year. She said you do an interview with 3-4 people. They ask questions like why do u want to be a nurse?what is diff between lpn/RN? What are ur weakness/strengths? I assume that we are one step closer to getting accepted with the interview. We will just have to wait and see. :) let me know how tomorrow goes. Best of luck to you.

I have an interview Aug.3 at 2:40 for bridge program. I am sooo nervous. :-/

Have you heard back yet? I replied with my choices but didn't hear anything today. Maybe Monday. :)

keepmoving- I got an email from school today giving dates/times for interviews also! I chose Aug. 2 like 1,2, or 3pm. I hope this is a good sign! Good luck and maybe we will be in class together in the spring! :)

I work with an LPN in the bridge program currently this year. They did interviews last year around the end of July/first of august. They found out by late august/early September if they were accepted or not.

slo- I received the same letter from Mrs. Creel. I hope that's a good sign! Good luck and keep me posted if you find out anything else. :)

Hi! I applied for the 2012 LPN-RN Bridge program. Does anyone know when they will be sending out acceptance letters for that program? My overall GPA is 3.2, Biology GPA 3.57, and I made a 77% on Teas. Is that good enough? I don't know! Please any information would be great! Thanks

keepmovinglpn: Don't get discouraged about what others are saying! Use their opinions and facts as only references/research. I had some classes transferred in as well. I transferred A&P I/II-"A", Micro "A", College Algebra "B". Transfer classes do affect your GPA a little differently, not sure exactly how they figure it up though. I had mostly A's, 1 C and two B's for all the other pre req's and my overall GPA is 3.2. They take your biology/chemistry courses and do a seperate GPA. Mine is 3.57. My teas score was 82%. Ms. Moore said that the bridge program looks at the biology gpa more than the overall along with your teas score. I work with a lpn that is currently in the gpc bridge program this year. Her teas score was 77%, GPA 2.7, Biology GPA 3.1. She said they do an interview after they have the candidates selected and base your admission on the interview. She said that they want you basically to tell them that you are going to live/breathe/eat/sleep gpc bridge program and have no work/family/friend time. That's what they want to hear, not in reality what will happen. So, don't stress it. Just do your best on the Teas and keep moving. I'm sure you will be fine. Keep me posted on your status.
