Aw dang it
I’ve been doing LPN pre requisites to transfer to a bridge program in the fall. I just got notified today that the bridge program isn’t being offered anymore. There aren’t any other “working” programs like this. It was designed to bridge medical assistants who work to LPN. I’m super bummed now. I can’t stop working to go to school, so I have to wait and see if something else like this is offered again. ??

Where are you located OP? I’m seeing nursing programs pop up everywhere. I am take pathophysiology right now in preparation for a full time program that starts in May. And with these programs, you really can’t work. They tell you when your classes and clinicals are- and you have no say.
At this time, my job is more important than school. I’m going to kept taking my pre reqs and try to find a different program.
Oh no! Where I go my school alone has an LPN an RN program. Also there's a BSN program 15 miles from there.
If becoming an LPN is something you truly want there's always a way to achieve that. It may not be the most desirable at the moment but in the end it will be well worth it. At times I struggle with the stress of working full time and being in school full time. You can do whatever you set your mind too.
Yes, but are you in a nursing program or completing your AA?
@thewife- I’m not taking classes for an associates. Those have flexible hours and can be done around work. I work as an MA, so my schedule is set and not really flexible. Nursing programs are almost entirely banker’s hours, so I cannot work my job and go to a traditional nursing program. I also cannot quit my job, which is my predicament.
@wishing covered it, I think. Plus, a bridge utilizes your previous education and reduces the courses you need to take. 9 months of a bridge vs 21 mo the of a part time program is a big difference.
Nursing programs are generally a full 40+ hour week of school and clinicals, M-F, which makes working a full time job basically impossible. Bridge programs are often less time consuming but take longer to complete, they are a bridge for those of us who have to work FT but are also attending school.
I don’t know if that’s possible. The courses are part of a bridge program, so they are specific.
I wonder if there was low enrollment, or the ones enrolled aren’t doing well. All they told me was they weren’t offering it again.
Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
Ladies what was your work schedule like while pregnant? I work 40 hours a week & have only 2 days off a week . Should I cut my hours back ?
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
I'm a single soon to be mom. I don't qualify for WIC.. any other programs that anyone can suggest?
Have I lost my mind?
So, after graduating with my bachelors on April 18th and turning down a job offer because my boss essentially matched the offer while offering flexibility, I’ve officially applied to the masters program and will start on May 31st. Have I lost my mind? Why yes, yes I have. 🙃
WA state. There are tons of traditional nursing programs, but this bridge was going to be my saving grace. It was 2 evenings + all day Fridays for 3 semesters. I’ll find something someday, but right now, I’m thankful I have a job in the medical field already, and my employer reimburses school costs.
