3. DID anyone try LEARNINGEXT.COM

   scallywags replied to Michelle Davis's topic in NCLEX

   I did use this as my last course of study prior to taking nclex. I found it to be helpful in studying and found it to be worth the money. I decided to use it after speaking to a newly licensed LVN who told me it was the only material she purchased ...

4. IV certification in the bay area

   scallywags replied to jammo444's topic in LPN/LVN

   I did my IV Certification at Facets of Nursing in South San Francisco. It was a two day course and the only way I was able to get out of being poked by other students, or poking other students for that matter, was to bring my "patient". My husband ...

5. Retaking Hesi

   scallywags replied to Stacylpn's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Don't be discouraged. This is a good opportunity to review the exam material and gain a better understanding of it. Take this opportunity to study and review, as though you were reviewing for the nclex.

   scallywags replied to Stacylpn's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   From what I have heard, each exam is different. I did take it one time, but my classmates who had to repeat the exam did tell me the exams were different each time. Good luck!

8. What's the fastest way get my license / temp license in California?

   scallywags replied to cali~mom's topic in LPN/LVN

   That is exactly what I did....dropped the kids to school and then off to Sacramento. There was one other person in the office when I got there, so it was no wait at all. The license you will get is just a piece of paper stating you passed all requ...

10. Help!

    scallywags replied to alliemb222's topic in LPN/LVN

    You have achieved a lot at this point and you should remember that when you are applying for jobs. Finding a job out of school can be challenging. I went through this last year when I was looking for my first nursing job. I sent out over 30 applic...

11. annoyed

    scallywags replied to jean333's topic in LPN/LVN

    That would annoy me too. You should be respected as well as respectful. I would have a word with the secretary because I really believe that people will continue to treat us in such a way if we allow it. You don't have to be nasty. In a very kind...

    I also used this site as my final study tool, however I did not find any of the questions to be similar. I will say that I did find the review to be very helpful, especially the tips on how to analyze and answer the questions. It is a great resour...
