No, Helena, you didn't miss anything. That's why I don't want the OP to waste their time or money. An LPN is great if you want to actually work as one(I will be), but not just as a means to getting an RN.

I don't understand why you keep saying that LPN's applying to CT-CCNP are not competing against the hundreds of regular applicants, that's exactly who they are competing with. The applications are ranked all together, there is not a separate ranking system for LPN's. If they get a slot(the same slot any applicant can get) then they can ask for advance placement.  Submit a CT-CCNP application and be admitted to the program (please note, the application process does not vary for LPN candidates). So while yes, you enter as a 2nd year student, you must first be admitted as a first year student, competing for a slot against all first year students. Which, imo, is a stupid process since you won't be using a first year seat. There should be a separate application process.

No, at the Community Colleges you have to first apply as a generic ADN student THEN if you are accepted you apply for the LPN bridge. Helena can attest to this procedure. IIRC you are a student @ St. V's which follows different protocol, as does BHSN.

Why aren't you doing well in it? Is it your study habits, although if we're talking intro to bio it doesn't really require too much studying, or is it your professor?

Mine was a bunch of chemistry and earth science.

Good luck to you. I'm going with a private school because it's worth it to me in the end. I'll finish a year sooner then with the state & that's a year of earning $$'s. The thing you need to consider is that there are very few LPN jobs for new grads, very few. I'm lucky & have great connections so I'm pretty confident in my ability to gain employment. Also, as an LPN you still have to apply as a generic ADN student to bridge. It does not give you a leg up.

The CTTECH program can be über competitive. Lincoln Tech, you're in as long as you can spell your name & pay. Plus, the only Finaid with tech is pell or veterens benefits. Otherwise, it's cash only.

Lincoln Tech runs over 30k & can have some classmates that are a bit rough around the edges. If you can afford it & keep to yourself you can do it.

You can either try to provide them with your proof or suck it up & move on. Honestly, 12 clinical hours is a lot to miss. Does your school have a make up policy?

I found A&P 1 to be my easiest course yet. It really depends what your strong points are. I went in terrified & quickly realized that it was not nearly as hard as it's made out to be.

I find A&P to be quite easy. Chemistry actually required a bit of studying even though I am an A student in math.

I got a 92 on the first exam & my next one is histology, connective tissue, chemistry, & something else that I'm drawing a blank on right now.

I know exactly what you're saying! I'm taking the same course load plus 1 more class & the only issue is chemistry.
