Hi I'm back... I haven't been on here for a bit but I got accepted to the Fall LVN program and now curious if anybody knows if they have an LVN to BSN bridge program. I could of sworn I read that somewhere but i cant find it now. Has anybody heard about this? Not including the LVN to RN program.

Hi Joanna, I got accepted as well. I believe they do not have a LVN to BSN bridge program. But to make certain you should call them.

Hey Brenda! Awesome we're in! :) Is there another forum over this program specific to Fall 2015? Curious about the other students that got in... I read another forum from Spring 2015 applicants and it was very helpful information. Seems as tho each first semester is the same so I been following that..

Have you got your books yet? I have not, been waiting to be registered because I noticed the book list is for the whole program.

Hey Joanna, I have looked and looked for another forum but the Spring 2015 was the only one I found as well; and yes it was very informative. I have not got my books yet, I'm waiting for this program that is supposed to help me buy the books because it cost like $1,600!! YIKES! I did go online to the L&M book store (that is where I usually buy my books) and it seems like we are going to need more than one book per class, more like 4 or 5.. So I'm a little confused on that . Who can carry all those books! lol

Yikes! I am going to try renting them from Amazon if possible... if the books are needed more than one semester I'll have to re-rent and if I feel the need to keep the book they give you the option to purchase. I am going to look into that program your talking about but according to the other cohort there are limited seats and I feel as though I am too late :banghead: . The email said said Monday they were going to begin registering students but I've been checking and nothing :yawn: ...are you taking any other pre-req for your BSN in the future? I am registered for Chem II :no: not so happy about that, most schools in Austin only require Chem I.

Well you can try. First you have to register to attend an information session. I got my schedule on monday morning. Did you take them your blue card? Because they need to make sure you are clear from the Board of Nursing to register you for classes. I have taken most of the pre-reqs for a BSN, chem, micro, nutrition, statistics. Maybe you should call them if your registered for classes yet.

Joanna1111 · Aug 12, 2015

Yes I took them my blue card and they made a copy. What does your schedule look like?

Information session for the assistance program or for the LVN program?
