Achieve Test Prep Reviews: LPN to RN Bridge, Rachel’s Story

Deciding to pursue an LPN to RN Bridge program

Making the decision to earn your RN is not an easy one. There are a lot of things to consider, like how to complete a degree program while working full time and maybe even while raising a family too. Rachel Penafiel knew that earning her RN in an LPN to RN Bridge program was something she wanted to do, but it just didn’t seem feasible — until she found Achieve. 

“I’m a single mother and I work full time as an LPN. Going into a traditional college setting or even working around the schedule these colleges provide wasn’t conducive to my real life. I shopped around and couldn’t find a college that fit my schedule.” 

Rachel needed LPN to RN Bridge programs that would fit her very tight schedule. She needed to continue working full time, and she also needed to be there for her kids with no support from a partner. 

“Initially, I shopped around for colleges, but I found it very challenging because I couldn’t find a college that fit my schedule.”

Achieve's LPN to RN Bridge programs are designed for busy nurses

Rachel came across Achieve Test Prep and started to dive in and do more research. She read Achieve Test Prep reviews and spoke with an Education Advisor who laid out the entire path to her RN and every step she would need to take along the way. Achieve provided her with the flexibility to take classes when they fit into her busy schedule. 

“I chose Achieve Test Prep because of the actual classroom setting. The times were very conducive to me as a working, single mom. Achieve was very accommodating.” 

Unparalleled support and flexibility with Achieve

Rachel found the online classes in her LPN to RN Bridge program to be engaging and simple to follow. She liked having a live instructor who taught her online courses and was available when she had questions. She also liked being able to study on her own when she had the time. 

“Classes meet one time each week. The learning platform is awesome, and Achieve provides so much learning material!” 

Rachel also enjoyed having the extra support that Achieve provided through not just instructors, but also Education Advisors, mentors and tutors. 

“They hold your hand through the whole process, and they are here to cheer you on. You really feel like your success is their success. The people at Achieve want to see you make your goals, and they will make sure you do it.” 

Becoming an RN while working full time and raising a family

Rachel is currently completing her prerequisite and general education courses in an LPN to RN Bridge program and hopes to very soon become an RN. 

When asked to give her Achieve Test Prep review, she said, “It has been a wonderful experience with Achieve. I would recommend to anybody that is hesitating or second guessing themselves — just do it. Register. Sign up. You can accomplish things you didn’t think you were capable of with the help of Achieve.”
