I was just told in class we'd be reciting the nurse's pledge before each class and at graduation. My issue with this is the first line.. has anyone else come across this issue? It's not a religious or privately funded school. I don't belong to a fait...

I am a brand new ADN RN wanting to specialize in pediatrics, however the hospitals here are magnet and will only hire BSN nurses. I am starting my BSN classes end of this month, but have to work elsewhere meanwhile. My question is, which would look m...

Just thought I would update you guys. Took my NCLEX - RN this morning in Florida and it stopped at 75 questions. I'm already an LPN so I've been through this process before so I wasn't panicked when I walked out having no clue if I passed or failed. ...

thank you!

An update! The hold was gone by late evening yesterday so that was fast and the PVT trick had the good pop up (I know the validity of it the first day is questioned but I did it anyways). Today I found out I passed, 24 hours after my exam!! I'm so ha...

I survived guys, it IS possible! I graduated on Wednesday from the AVS program! I'll be here if you guys need any help or a shoulder to cry on hah!

It is all online except for lab check off the first semester and clinical. It's extremely fast paced, be prepared to spend a minimum of 60 hours a week reading, doing discussion boards and online assignments. Since you aren't going to class for lectu...

It's ummm hard! It will be the hardest year of your life. Lots of people fail out.. we are down almost 50% from our original class

You have to keep in mind that everyone gets an email stating you've been accepted, put on the waiting list or declined from the program... so not hearing anything doesn't mean anything at all. All of those go out at the same time

no problem, try to breathe.. most people make it in from what I've heard as there isn't a huge influx of people wanting to bridge. Even the people on the waiting list usually make it in as people drop after orientation or when it's time to pay

I'm in the last semester of the AVS program at Valencia now.. it took the length of time they stated to hear back... the wait was agonizing. They let you know either way though so you will hear something soon

I'm in semester two of Valencia's AVS track (there are 3 semesters). The first semester was the worst because everything was such a shock to the system. I had never experienced such an intense program and I was always a straight A student. I find thi...

Is anyone else starting this August? I'm so excited for orientation next month!

I can't believe I joined this site while trying to get into LPN school, and now I'm a licensed nurse and about to start the RN bridge program this August! I was officially accepted into the RN bridge program at Valencia College and can not wait to ta...

Happy Birthday and congratulations!! I'll be 31 when I become an RN so I loved reading this!

Mine was around $3,000. I graduated last November

That's awesome congrats!

I became an LPN because the waiting list for the RN programs here are 2 years long. By becoming an LPN I am bridging over and becoming an RN before I would have even been called to begin the generic RN program. 90% of my classmates found LPN jobs her...

I VBAC'd at Winnie Palmer in Orlando where there are always anesthesiologists and doctors in house anyways

I did all my RN pre-reqs before LPN school. I graduated with my LPN November 2013 and am starting the RN bridge program next month (August 2014). I'll have my ADN July 2015 and then want to bridge straight away to get my BSN. I have two young kids bu...

Awesome I'll see you in a couple of weeks for orientation! I'm so easer to get our syllabus and see what our schedule will be like!

I think me doing so well in LPN school helped me get into the bridge program. To get into the bridge program you have to do really well on your TEAS exam, good grades (B or better) on your pre-reqs (especially in the sciences), and they look at your ...

Thank you so much I appreciate that! I have orientation on July 18th so I'm sure I will have a lot of questions then lol

I did feel pretty prepared. I graduated with honors and passed my NCLEX with 85 questions on the first try. I also got accepted into Valencia's LPN to RN program on my first attempt and start this August! The job market for me personally has been ter...

I graduated from Lake Tech in November so ask away! There are no pre-requisites, you just have to pass the TABE and TEAS tests as well as an interview with the heads of the program
