  1. LVN vs. RN?

    I completed my AS degree and applied to both RN and LVN programs... Ultimately accepted into both, I went with the LVN program because it allows for much more clinical time than an RN program and that was important to me. I also used the rational th...
  2. Taking Teas V on Monday, last minute advice?

    Looking back on nursing school, one thing is for certain, you might not ever feel as though you are prepared enough for any test. Try to relax and know that you are not alone. The fear of 'not knowing' will make you forgetful for sure... You've got...
  3. Need Advice!!! RN or LVN!? Pls read, very complex situation!

    I want to encourage you to follow your heart... :hug: I raised a family and had an entirely separate career before I decided to go back to school to become a nurse. What inspired me to make the career change was surviving cancer... I felt so driven...
  4. New LVN grad needs work experience and skills practice.

    JBDinCA, Thank you SO much for the words of wisdom (and in my book, you ARE a veteran )... No doubt about it, I am scared and I'm desperately looking for ways to not be scared. I guess (like many new grads) I had this "dream" that I would acquire...
  5. New LVN grad needs work experience and skills practice.

    HealingHand2, Thanks for the words of encouragement! :) I did go ahead and apply to Grayson's program, and I couldn't agree more that the positive atmosphere would WELL be worth the drive. They were so warm and welcoming, espcially the director o...
  8. ADN/RN Programs, Collin or Grayson?

    I am currently a non-traditional student at Collin with a 3.9 GPA, a 15/16 on my PSB and I was "wait listed" at Collin due to the simple fact that I repeated a class (not to better a grade...I had an A, but had to drop due to a medical emergency with...
  9. Collin College ADN Program

    I too applied to the Collin ADN RN program with a GPA of 3.8, 5 out of 6 on my PSB, and essentially 15/16 points... I just got my letter today, and I was wait listed. I'm disappointed. I am applying to Grayson also (their deadline is March 31st), a...
  10. Deciding between ASN or BSN

    I'm almost 40, returning to school to become a nurse and am currently enrolled in a ASN,RN program... What other classes would I need to take to acquire a BSN,RN instead? I'm thinking about "long term" (...management might be a point of interest on...
  11. Associates or Bachelors?

    Hi...I just want to hug you and tell you everything will be okay. I have a masters degree in teaching...and have taught for 17 years. After two kids and two bouts of life threatening cancer, I've decided to return to school for my nursing degree. ...
