1. Is NLNAC or CCNE required for VA Hospital RN's

   prvrbs35 replied to RLeeRN's topic in Government

   I work at a VA facility as a RN. In my opinion the CCNE degree should supersede the non-NLNAC requirement. The VA where I work only hire BSN prepared RNs. My ADN did not matter even though I graduated from a NLNAC college. I suggest that you go ahead...

2. LBCC transition course

   prvrbs35 replied to adroitfrogbob's topic in LPN-RN

   Thanks for the information. I have been a LVN since 2004. I would have been in your group if it was not for the Reading assessment test. I took if for granted and ended up having to take Read 82 last semester. I received my letter of acceptance to AD...

3. LBCC transition course

   prvrbs35 replied to adroitfrogbob's topic in LPN-RN

   How was the department exam? I am assuming that you have finished the ADN20 course. I have been wondering myself what the exam may include. Sorry, that you did not get any response to your thread. I subscribed to your thread hoping to get an answer m...

   prvrbs35 replied to nursingstudent562's topic in California

   CAwant2be, I recommend checking out the college web page ( http://www.saddleback.edu/hs/rn/ )for information. I have spent many hours going through the local college web pages to determine what each one requires. I'm a LVN looking for ADN. I have an...

5. Do you identify yourself as a nurse when you or your family are a patient?

   prvrbs35 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   It is usually a family member that will bring to the attention of others. I generally do not announce myself as working in the medical field. I personally would rather stay quiet about my profession/background. My experience is that sometimes you ...

   prvrbs35 replied to nursingstudent562's topic in California

   I am not aware of any private school$$$. What have you been doing to let your prerequisites expire? What prerequisites expire? I find it hard to believe all three sciences expire at the same time. Have you tried applying anywhere? As for Community Co...

7. Took the TEAS today

   prvrbs35 replied to christinamuniz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took the test today. I found it easier than expected. I used Study Guide Version 3. The test indicated version 4. I feel that the ver. 3 study guide is good enough for review. The purpose of the study guide is to help refresh your memory and give y...

8. Took the TEAS today

   prvrbs35 replied to christinamuniz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel that the study guides are just to keep you fresh in knowledge. From what I gather, the TEAS test is testing you on knowledge that you should have already attained. I feel that the study guides are to help you with critical thinking and concept...

9. Took the TEAS today

   prvrbs35 replied to christinamuniz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congratulation. I am taking the test in two days. I was told two days ago I was accepted into the LVN to RN program and that I need to come in right away to take the test. I have had the study guide (version 3) for a little over a month and have not ...

10. Do male nurses recieve as much respect from patients as female ones do?INPUT IS GREAT

    prvrbs35 replied to david18's topic in Men

    I agree with the majority of posts thus far. I feel that myself as well as other males on our floor sometimes get more respect than our female counterparts. I do get patients that call me "doc." I correct them and they insist on calling me doc, anywa...

11. Orientation Day LPN to RN

    prvrbs35 replied to 99percentangel's topic in General Nursing

    Great story. I like the thought of "WHERE I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE." As a LVN I go to work with that same thought. I know that I make a difference in the lives of my patients. I am a motivated 45 y/o LVN working on my prerequisites toward ADN. I wish ...
