Finally Reaching Her LPN to RN Goal After 30 Years
With Achieve’s live instruction and personalized support, Theresa fast-tracked the LPN to RN journey she waited decades to begin. Achieve gave her the tools, flexibility, and confidence to finally believe: I’ve really got this!
Theresa’s Struggles: Tired, Overworked and Stuck
Theresa Carbajal had dreamed of becoming the RN she knew she could be for 30 years. But long shifts, physical exhaustion, and a packed schedule had taken their toll, making completing four years at a traditional college feel completely out of reach. She had tried other programs before – ones that claimed to help – but they left her studying alone, feeling unsupported and burned out. Plus, the idea of commuting to a classroom after a full day on her feet felt like she’d never be able to realize her dreams. As she recalls,
“I chose Achieve because there was no time for me to go back to college. I work full time, and I’m a mom to two busy boys. There’s just no time for me to set aside to complete prerequisites and then another four years or more to complete my RN.”
A Little About Theresa...
Longtime Nurse, Lifelong Dreamer
Theresa spent 30 years caring for others while quietly holding onto her own dream of becoming an RN.
Overworked but Unshaken
Juggling exhausting shifts and limited time, she never gave up – she just needed a better way forward.
Finally on Her Path
With Achieve’s flexible support, Theresa found a program that fit her life – and the confidence to finish what she started.
Finding Her Fit with Achieve's Flexible, Supportive LPN to RN Program Solution
Everything changed when Theresa discovered Achieve Test Prep. She had read reviews and realized this wasn’t another self-study program – it offered live, online instruction and personalized guidance. She fit her class times into her work schedule, learning when she felt rested and ready. The flexibility made learning possible again and paved a clear, flexible and supportive pathway to realizing her LPN to RN dreams. As she puts it,
“Before I started with Achieve, I tried colleges and test preparations where you study on your own. None of that worked… When I found Achieve, I was able to choose the days of my classes and choose the times I worked in my LPN to RN Bridge program. I choose to attend online classes on the days that I’m off so that I’m not tired. I’m fresh and absorbing all the materials when I’m in my sessions.”
Theresa’s Victory: Finally Achieving Her Lifelong Dream
With Achieve, Theresa finished two prerequisites in just two months. She finally found the structure, guidance, and support she needed every step of the way. Thanks to her Education Advisor helping her stay accountable and her live instructors keeping her engaged, her confidence returned. For the first time in decades, she could actually see herself crossing that LPN to RN finish line and become the nurse she always hoped to be. As Theresa says,
“I waited 30 years to get my RN, and I finally am realizing my dream. I can see finishing my degree with Achieve, and now I know that I can reach my goal.”
