why dont you call them to ask them, I'm sure that you are not the only one who want to know the answer and you're not the only one who has asked. Its a good question, but honestly, I dont think so. Good luck in Nursing School. Post your response from the school for us to all know.

thanks for responding! i haven't been able to get anyone yet we're on spring break, but i was planning on trying to contact someone in that department as soon as we head back. a couple of the nurses i work with told me they do they're doing the bridge from LPN-RN. i have a application and it say that an fccj trained medical assistant is considered, anyway, since fccj base their acceptance on points I'm trying to rally mine up:D

as soon as i know something i will post it.

i decided to call the north side campus at fscj(fccj) and see if i could get someone and i did upon doing so i was told that CNA is only considered experience towards the LPN program which means if you don't have all of you prereqs done you might not have enough points to get into the RN program. I've been reading a lot of the other post old and new and it appears that the lowest points getting into the RN program are in the 197's. however each semester takes a different amount of students.
