LVN-RN "30 unit challenge"
I know there has been a couple of threads concerning this subject but what concerns me is not about the pros and cons of this program. I am barely a graduating CNA and plan to go to an RN program, but I always dreaded the long waitlist program. Then a friend of mine told me about the LVN-RN "30 unit challenge" program. He told me all the pros and cons about it. What I want to know is this. After... Read
