Tyler Junior College LVN to RN Fall 2016

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

I couldn't find anything on the upcoming semester at TJC for the LVN to RN bridge program so I decided to create one for all of us prospective. I have been an LVN for about 3 years graduated from Kilgore College in 2013, but for the past year completed Pre Reqs and have this hunger to go back for RN. I just completed the GAP test Tuesday 4/12 and am reviewing all of the papers to fill out. When I talked with the ladies in the office I was told that this year is more of Hybrid and noticed that there were 3 different classes on the admission for (I applied to all three just to open up my options). Im currently living in Arlington but plan to move back to Longview area at the end of the month since my lease will be complete. Are there any others out there who have already submitted applications back to the campus or any other information about how this program will operate?

Do anyone know what we need to score on the gap test to be competitive? I heard 700 was to low. Just wondering what I need to shoot for.

I am pretty sure that you have gotten an answer back by now but you have a great GPA and a good science background. Im going to be honest all of my sciences are C's but my GPA to apply was a 2.6 because of the other classes i had. Not really sure how many people apply but I know for my cohart there were around 45 of us in Jacksonville to start off. We are now on summer break and will be going into the last semester for fall, the teachers are completely awesome and help so much
