    congrats!!!. I just took my nclex on wed, I hope to be in your shoes soon.
    Thank you! It has been a long haul to make it to this point...10 months...never give up!

    I also wish you the best of luck on your NCLEX. Remember, you have five hours to take it, take as much time as you need but don't over think anything. Some questions will be super easy, others won't be fun to answer. Think positive through out it, have faith in yourself, take breaks if needed. You will rock it!

    Congratulations fellow LPN!!! I worked at the VA in Martinez for about 2 years. It was a really great experience and lots of clinical experience. I had to leave due to change of residency, but I would definitely apply again with no hesitation! Yes, it is a long process in getting hired. Really worth it! Hang in there to all the LPN's searching for that perfect LPN position. Don't settle for just a job, make it your dream job and make sure that you can grow. I, too, am searching for that perfect LPN position. I turned one down in the assisted living. Not for me, I've got too much experience in it and would love to venture out in the hospital. I'm going to volunteer in the ER or ICU just to get feel of how it is. I would love to work in the ER for a couple of years! Good luck to you all!

    Hey cowgirl2nurse, I just sent you a PM. If you are unable to get my message please let me know. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

    Might I also add, even though I had my up's and down's with the school...I wouldn't trade my education with any other LPN program in the area.

    This makes me feel good reading this. From what I've heard from other people, they really enjoyed working there. I plan to stay with in the VA system until I retire. I'm sure that since you've worked for the VA before, finding a job in another state for the VA shouldn't be as hard? Maybe....Where did you live and where did you move to? If you don't mind me asking. Well, I wish you the best of luck. I hope that you are able to get that job where you feel at home at. I'm totally with you on the assisted living job. I had an on-call LPN job at the nursing home...it felt all wrong for me.
