Quick question...does Virginia BON do any type of criminal background check at all for first time applicants? I dont see anywhere on their site where it requires sending fingerprints or anything.

Just want to make sure before I send my application.

Thank you!

I am seeking a career in the RN field, and i need something fast pace (single mom w/2 small children). I am supposed to have a meeting with MCI in richmond, va this wednesday and i was hoping someone could give me a heads up on what to expect. I have several questions:
1. What is the class schedule for night students?
2. What is included in the tuition fees?
3. When does/how long is the program?
4. Do they require any prior experience or nursing classes to be taken before exceptance?
5. What are the qualifications and are all applicants excepted?
6. How long do you have to wait before you know if you have been excepted? (i just don't want to waste any time)

Sorry for having so many questions, but it always good to get a 2nd voice, rather than just taking the institutions word for it! Please help ASAP! ]]> Virginia Nurses prttyeyedredgyrl http://allnurses.com/virginia-nurses/mci-439069.html http://allnurses.com/virginia-nurses/seeking-lpn-program-438602-new.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:15:14 GMT Hi, I'm seeking an LPN Program in Northern Virginia that offers weekends hours AND Financial Aide.

I know that they are going to tell us what we need to bring and have when we start, but I was just wondering other than :crying2:tissues and :yawn:coffee and patience, what were some of the things that was a nesscessity to survival as a nursing student. I have already started reading the Fundamentals of Nursing, as I was told that that class was a make it or break it class.

Thanks for the input,

I have been having the most terrible time trying to find a job in my field. Everywhere I apply they keep telling me I dont have enough experience. I dont know what to do. I feel like I wasted my time and Im in debt for no reason.

How am I expected to have any nursing experience if no one will hire me? Please help me out guys, any advice, job leads, or suggestions will help me.

For those that are already a part of the program, how hard was it to get accepted? If you apply in the late semester (April), but have excellent grades, do they take that into account? ]]> Virginia Nurses virgolove34 http://allnurses.com/virginia-nurses/anyone-attending-tidewater-434587.html http://allnurses.com/virginia-nurses/i-did-i-433894-new.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:00:07 GMT OH MY GOODNESS!!! :eek: After tackling the mailman for the last 3 weeks, Thursdays tackle... OH MY GOODNESS!!! :eek:

After tackling the mailman for the last 3 weeks, Thursdays tackle finally paid off, even he was saying open it faster when I got the letter from TNCC!! I think Im still shaking, I read the first line, and screamed I DID IT!! I ran inside and messaged my husband in Iraq to call me ASAP, I called and thanked everyone!! I popped a bottle of Champagne and just relaxed the rest of the day and slept for the first time peacefully in months!! OH MY GOODNESS!!

I wish everyone the best, Hope you get your letters soon!!!
