Hello, I have applied for the next LPN-RN admission at VCC (2025). Just wondering how you guys have found the bridging semester and if you feel like it prepared you to enter the program in January?
In addition, looking at previous discussion, do you have any further insight of what GPAs got into the program in your cohort? I am scheduled to take CASPER this week.
Finished the bridging semester in December, started term 5 this month. The bridging term is okay, it's not impossible but it's not easy either. Transitioning from LPN to student is the hard part- working a lot less, becoming a student again, etc. I don't think entering term 5 in January needed "preparing", thus far, it appears less demanding than the bridging term. The bridging term does help you get back into the groove of being a full-time student.
Regarding GPAs, im not too sure. I think I got around a 3.6-3.8. Take time to prepare for CASPER! Check out free online resources.
Wondering if you guys recall what the tuition for the fall semester was? It is not listed on the website, but states the bridge semester is not valid for student loans. Any insight on this?
