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. ??

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.

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.

Ah, ok. Most programs here are just LPN.

It's a nursing program to get your ASN You have to do all your prerequisites before you are accepted into the clinical portion. I am in the clinical portion of the program close to graduation.

@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.

The same thing happened to me with my grad school program. Now I have to find one, on campus. Super sucks. Hope you find one.

@thewifeisright are you actually in a nursing program or just taking classes to get your associates?

I disagree with working and being in nursing school. It's totally possible to do as I work full time and in school for my Associates.

@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.

Why would you have to stop working to go to school? Aren’t you in school and working right now? You can’t just do a full program part time, instead of a “bridge”?

Sorry didn’t realize that was going to be 3 consecutive questions.

I don’t know if that’s possible. The courses are part of a bridge program, so they are specific.

Would they be willing to work with you to complete the courses even if they weren’t specifically offering the program anymore?

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.

Oh no, that's terrible. I wonder why they stopped, it sounds like an amazing idea.
