   I can tell you from the california board's perspective. You absolutely CAN become an RN but with 3 dui's you will be considered a substance abuser. What they will want to see is that you are sober, have gone through some sort of recovery program suc...

10. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

    Lvn1973 replied to mirandaaa's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was a CNA while in LVN school and found the best fit for my schedule was to work for a home care nursing registry. It gave me the flexibility required during nursing school and the option for me to increase or decrease my hours as I needed.

14. Made a terrible mistake...
