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! ?

Hi Tainted! I want to apply to their LPN to RN online classes.. Did you have to take the hesi? and was it hard to get in?

This was posted awhile ago so I was wondering if anyone attended this program. I'm thinking about the LPN to Rn online program but I haven't heard a lot of good things about it. Me and my friend was thinking about doing it together because it us such a long drive to clinical (like two hours). Do you know if they work with you for scheduling? Any advice helps. I'm going to call on Monday.

Brittany,

You do not get to choose your site or schedule, as the program progresses some instructors may be more flexible than others but do not count on it. I worked a full time job while doing this program, I had to take off work for clinicals which was not always easy.

Just wanted to update my progress.

I graduated!!!!!! It was a long hard road but I did it. The exit HESI was a bear!!

I am currently waiting for my ATT from the board of nursing.

My advice to anyone who wants to go through this program... Do it with a friend or get to know other students. You cannot do this without the support of other students! You will go crazy if you try to do it alone.

If you fail... Do NOT ever give up.

MJM, I am also from the Dayton area and was looking into this program. Did you decide to go with Rio, and if so, can you share your experiences with their program? Did you have to drive very far? THanks for any info you can give.
