Rio Hondo LVN-ADN bridge Spring 2021

Published

Hello I haven’t seen a forum open for this yet! So I’m an Lvn just applied to Rio Hondo’s Lvn to RN bridge program. I received a confirmation email saying they received my application but I don’t feel too confident because of my overall GPA and TEAS score but I have 7 years Lvn experience. My stats are:

associates degree in allied health 

3.0 science GPA (all B’s) 

2.7 cumulative due to me being irresponsible in my 20’s -_- I had a lot of C’s in the general education. Retook most 

66% TEAS 

Work experience: 7 years Lvn

bilingual in Spanish and English 

need to work

first generation college student 

proof of low income 

im hoping the life experiences will boost my chances but I’ve heard that they really value work experience. Fingers crossed. What are your stats and let’s get through this waiting period!

ah hahhahah, lmao! You know around what time PCC will have their acceptance decision?

And you guys, may I asked where you guys work as an LVN, Im still browing around!

They told me 4-6 weeks after the last of application period, so 10/22 it ended, I am assuming end of November. I have been working in home health, been with this company for 15 years but working as a LVN for 5 years doing home visits intermittently (wound care, injections, etc...), but working in the office coordinating patient care as well.

OK I got some clarification, they are not sending out the acceptance letters for the LVN-RN program, she said it was for the regular "ADN", So they have not set a date when to send out the letters, she said they still need to  "discuss" it.  Whoops!

No worries ? LOL, I called them just now, I repeated it a few time to her "L V N to R N" so she finally explained. So I guess the LVN program is getting emails and regular ADN program, next is us ?

Okay, wonder when is "next", lmaooo, I have to take some Tylenol since I had a headache thinking about it, so if she said she still has to discuss then probably tomorrow do you think?

First off thank you for being the mediator in all of this haha we all appreciate it ?

Second, that makes no sense at all. They’re not done with selection, and mandatory orientation is this Friday? Seems quite inconsiderate, especially for those of us who have prior commitments like work or school ?
 

I have a full time job, and I work this Friday. If I do get in, I don’t know if I can make it to the class. I probably won’t be able to request off with such short notice ?

Not a problem at all.  That's true, the mandatory meeting is Friday between 1-4 pm, I am also at work and only have a 1 hour lunch break. Hopefully they send it soon so we can plan ahead soon.

or is it the whole day?
