HI i've been an LPN for two years......In a bridge program at a small private college...Graduate in 5-09...Its hard as heck and sucks...Can't wait until I'm done...Never taking another college class again.....Unless its cake decorating or ceramics....lol...Can't wait to get my RN-its the hardest thing I've ever done...pushing 50 to boot. hanging on by my finger nails but still hanging....good luck everybody...I have never respected nurses more than I do now...We each fought our way here and each have our own story to tell. I'm proud of all of us...LPN and RN's both....we worked hard for this.

Hey Polly - I love your name-LOL. I'm right there with you, turned 51, and graduate RN school in April '09. I joined an accelerated program, semesters are 8 weeks long, instead of 16. That means double trouble. It moves so fast, with soooo much material. I feel like I'm just keeping my head above water.

We can do it though!! Sometimes I think, it's not as easy to study as it used to be, when I was younger. But nonetheless, still plugging along. Best of luck to you. I agree, best of luck to all of us...LPN's and RN's...schooling is not the only hard part, but the work can be too! At least it's a recession proof career.

Again, good luck!!:yeah:

Specializes in ICU,corrections, LTC.

I finished my LPN program Dec 2007 and got my LPN license in March 08, I did 3 months Correctional nursing and now in my 5 month in LTC. I started in Jan 2008 taking prerequsites for the RN-ADN program @ the local community college. I am so exhausted between working full-time and going to school. I just can't seem to get pumped up and eager to learn this semester. I think I am just ready for a break.

Hello All,

I work at a adolescent drug rehabilitation center that accepts kids btwn 13-18 yrs old. Is there anyone enrolled or has completed the Trinitas School of nursing lpn to rn bridge program?

Believe me you are not the only one, in that boat...but reviewing this forum is encouraging, there are many that made it...and if others did, I believe I can...get the books out, take it one day at a time, one class at a time...I got discouraged, b/c all I was doing was looking ahead..to clinicals...saying I can't, I can't....but I really believe I can...I know I can....I WILL!!!! You can too...WE WILL..get started.
