University of Rio Grande

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Updated:   Published

I have been accepted into the online LPN to RN program at the University of Rio Grande in Ohio.

If anyone is attending or is going to please share your thoughts and tips with me.

I have no idea what to expect.

For starters what is the transition semester all about? Is the content similar to what I learned in LPN school or will I be learning new information?

I understand you have to get at least a 78% to pass the transition semester; What about the rest of the program is it 78% as well?

Are you able to have some sort of choices when it comes to clinicals?

Any info would be appreciated, Thanks! ?

Jen159, I tried to email you through the website here with my phone number a couple of days ago... did you get the email?

Thanks

Jen159...I don't know how to contact you, and also have a million questions for you. My orientation for Rio's online LPN to RN program is 10/29/10. I think I call Rio once a week with a new question. I just thought it would be great to have an actual contact that has done the program. Can you tell me how to email/contact you?

Can someone give me information on how the clinicals go through Rio. I will be beginning clinicals in Summer 2011 starting with NUR 21404. Any information on this class and the following classes for the online LPN-RN bridge program would be greatly appreciated. :D

To OhioLPN_2003....it looks like we are in the same class! I don't start until the 2nd eight weeks of this semester, or course number 14606. I was just wondering if you've already started classes or what all you have found out! Anxiety it setting in...but I'm ready to get finished!!!:uhoh3:

Specializes in MR/DD.

I am currently in 13606 .. so far so good, it is moving pretty fast. I have already taken one test and I feel pretty good about it.

How were you able to get out of taking 13606?

To 297you: I have already taken 13606 and 14606. For me 14606 seemed to be a little tougher than 13606. I had some personal issues and I had to withdrawal from the program. I had to file an exemption of policy to get back in to the program. I will be starting back with the summer semester. What part of Ohio do you live in. I am really excited to get back into it and finish this degree :yeah:

tainted1972- Just wondering how your liking 13606? I can't wait to start clinicals in May. Hope classes are going good for you.

The class is moving by fairly quickly, I am almost done with the discussion board posts, so I will be able to focus on the last 3 exams. I feel pretty good about things, just anxious to be done already! LOL

I live in Perry County Ohio, but work in Columbus. I will probably going to Chillicothe for clinicals (I hope). I didn't have to take 13606 because of pathophysiology and extra biology classes I had to take at Hocking College. I'm getting nervous as 14606 approaches in 4 weeks!!! Where are you two from???

I live in Lawrence County. It's at the very bottom of Ohio. I found 14606 a bit more challenging for me than 13606. But my professor was awesome and that helped the nervousness for me...lol. Good luck in 14606

Please help. I am currently in the nursing program 13606 and it is becoming more difficult to me. I thought that there would be study guides but there is nothing. They give you about a hundred or so pages to read and 50 questions to test.

I wish there was someone who could help me with this. I am barely passing. Please if you can give me any tips or study material I would really be thankful.

I was looking into Rio Grande as a second option if i don't get into OU: southern. But the website is impossible to navigate, and when I click on the ADN program info, it brings up the accelerated LPN/ADN program...which is NOT what I want....

I am looking at the ADN program, im not an LPN, so where do i go to look for more info? Should i call them to find out more?

I seen someone say they require a 90% on the hesi? I got a 93.4% but i didn't have to take Chemistry or Biology so i don't know if thats a requirement for them?

I have all of the pre req's except for A&PII and Micro. so how would the course load be?

I have like a ton! of questions, so any help is appreciated!
