Thank you for your comment. Until I attempted nursing school the 3rd and last time I never knew how many people go back to school later in life nowadays! Reading things like that just slowly but surely change my mind about me being "too old at 23 yea...
Haha. Well thank you for your comment. It's quite uplifting. I've always dreamed of me being an RN, BSN. Seeing so many people my sister's age finish their ASN as 19 and 20 was sort of discrouaging as I myself attempted to complete LVN school 3 times...

I took my NCLEX Mach 21, 2008 and did not even get a letter until May 24, 2008. GOOD LUCK TO YOU! I remember when I ripped open my letter from the CA BVNPT and it stated "... has passed the NCLEX-VN." I screamed and danced with my husband I was ...

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! Being a good theory/clinical student does not automatically mean you will pass the NLCEX the first time. I know plenty of people who did not pass. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud of accomplishing school. For studying I ...

As was mentioned before... when you give injections you need to pay attention to the body frame of the patient and the particular needle you are using.
Where exactly are you in California? If you go to BVNPT.CA.GOV then they can give you a list of accredited school that will allow you to sit for the California administered NCLEX-VN. Once you pass/receive your license I don't think it would be a prob...

When I first finished the LVN program my thoughts were more nervous and anxious to take the NCLEX-VN rather than excited I've finished this milestone in my life. I'm happy I decided to to the LVN course because friends of mine who thought that LVN sc...
I don't know what your particular circumstances are... but I can tell you my experience and the experience of a friend/former classmate in a similar situation. My experience is I was with a friend visiting her at her university. She decided to steal...
What a smart way to go! Did he plan for things to happen like that? I was hoping to become a CRNA but thought I was too old to be in LVN school... let alone continue all the way past having a BSN. I just got my license June 2008 and will be re-taking...
She's said she's happy to work for RCRMC because of their 20/20 Program. I heard what she was getting paid and I thought "I want my RN badly but I have a husband and son to think about! $13 will barely cover the student loans taken out during LVN sch...
:yeah: I totally agree! I would much rather take the tests necessary to prove I'm competent in each subject rather than have to take the classes filled with information I will probably not use. The government really should make it easier for QUALIFI...

How can one even possibly compare the two? LPV's must pass a national licensure examination after months more of training than an MA receives. MA's are limited in the scope of practice and if one ever realizes how much more an RN can make going LPN t...

Personally I would go all the way for the BSN b/c having to go back to "school mode" as one is already older than the average college student is hard enough. Just go all the way through the extra couple years. If you know that you want to do nurse ma...
