Texas LVN-RN Bridge Programs in DFW area? Need advice!!

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

I am a new LVN needing help finding a good LVN-RN program in the DFW area. I currently am working in LTC and am not having much luck finding a med-surg job. Nearly all of the schools I have looked in to require 6 months to a year of med-surg experience prior to admission to the bridge program.. (& most med-surg jobs require 6 months to a year of exp. prior to applying for a job?)...I would like to be able to apply/begin a bridge program by the time the spring 2015 semester rolls around if possible..

I am feeling a bit discouraged about getting accepted into a bridge program within the next year, and really hoping that I did not "waste my time" going to LVN school...It seems that I would have better luck/finish school quicker if I just go back and complete a generic RN program instead...the lvn-rn transition process is simply not turning out to be as smooth as I was informed that it would be.. almost everyone from my lvn class is having the same problem as well..

any suggestions??

You can check into North Central Texas College. They have LVN-RN program.

TWishes, do you know of anyone that has attended this program? I would like to know more about it!
