Did most everyone apply to the traditional RN program? I'm applying for the LPN to RN bridge...hoping to find some others. Regardless to which program you applied.....GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Good luck to all those that applied! Is anyone applying for the LPN to RN bridge program? Trying to determine if people have insight to previous years point cut off.

Congrats to all those that were accepted! Very exciting! Is anyone applying for the LPN to RN bridge? I'm trying to determine if people are familiar with what some of the scores generally are?

Congrats to all that were accepted!!! I applied for the LPN to RN bridge and haven't received my status letter yet. I've contacted the program advisor, but I was wondering if your Connections page was different in any way? I was hoping I could be a little sneaky to determine my status that way. When you log onto Connections, is there anything different or any options available to you now that were not, prior to you learning of your acceptance?

Are you currently an LPN? I couldn't tell if that is why you took the TABE. If so, are you also applying to the bridge or just the RN program? Best of luck either way!

I got a 90 on the HESI, but my GPA points totaled 90. Does your friend remember what the cut off was when they applied? Any interesting tid bits your friend has shared regarding the program? I'm moving to jax beach, but I have to wait to find out about school before I look for a job. Can you recommend places I should look? I currently work in a pediatric office, but I'm hoping to find a hospital position. If that doesn't pan out then I'm going to look into home health.

Best of luck to you!!! I will be thrilled if I make it in this summer. I did well on the HESI, but my points from my prereq classes were not all that great. How I understand it is there are 24 spaces and 50 to 65 will apply. I live out of county and I think locals are considered first, so I've got that going against me. But, application is in and it's out of my hands. When you hear the news, be sure to share!

Your concern being for the pt and not yourself is doing all you can do. You could have used feeling frazzled and in a hurry as an excuse, but you simply recognized those things aided in the mistake happening. Ownership without excuses is a great quality to possess. It's an awful feeling, but recognizing how it happened and taking responsibility will hopefully lead to less mistakes in the future. We've all made a medical error. It doesn't make what you're going through any easier. I think once you have the news your pt is going to be ok, you'll start to feel a little better. If you weren't sick over it there would be something wrong with your character. Regardless if the pt is made aware, you will have to move forward and not let this shake you.

I think your best bet is to contact the school. In saying I got the info from the school website was my attempt to show you only have to do a little research to find the info you're looking for. This site is amazing for finding info, but for the questions your posing, the source is a great place to go to as well. I think scheduling an appt with an advisor might be your best option. Best of luck!

Do the students in the bridge program eventually integrate with the students that did the traditional RN route? I"m applying for the LPN to RN bridge and I haven't had as much luck finding fellow hopefuls to bounce questions off of. If you happen to know any insight into the bridge program, any, and can share it would be much appreciated!

cjfire- Are you applying for the program? I saw you posted a similar topic for a previous year, so I wasn't sure if you just posted for potential students. If you're not applying, do you know anyone applying? The site is hopping for the RN and LPN programs, but crickets for the bridge program. If you were familiar with what previous point cut offs were or how the program is in general? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I have the HESI A2 Secrets study guide by Mometrix. It has some ok info on A&P, but I reviewed some chapters in my textbooks and have done A LOT of the quizlets. I'm going to focus a little more on the above systems and refresh my memory of the brain functions. Thanks again!

If you can take any online courses, I would suggest taking Medical Terminology, if you haven't already. Studying for the HESI is an excellent idea. You can find many postings on here for study tips and advice. You can take the time to set out a plan for once you finish your next two courses. I'm not sure what the NS refers to, so you if you haven't been accepted into a program, research all that is required and get a head start of getting things in order. Just make sure to check back in case any requirements have changed. Also, you can look up any back up plans (that hopefully you won't need) Finally, this site is an excellent source to look through and get an idea of what nursing school will be like. You can read up on what to expect and see what things you may need to brush up on or prepare yourself for. Hope the healing process goes well and good luck in the rest of your courses!
