  1. Who really wants BSN degrees?

    I used to call the BSN degree the BS degree as to have it is BS to begin with...or so I thought. But anyways, large hospital systems that hire RNs want BSN prepared nurses as they are seeking higher reimbursement rates. As healthcare is a business, t...
  2. Has anyone heard of Charles a. Jones college?

    Hi, Caj has a lot to offer for an lvn school and has improved, I still have contacts there. What questions do you have?
  3. does the PVT still work?

    Yes, my sister did. She all got excited and then found out she failed. Fortunately, for me the PVT trick worked and has proven itself in my LPN and RN exams. So yeah, I know it works. I think there is a certainty that in most cases (the 99% majority)...
  4. I drove from Sacramento to Chico, California, 2 hours in each direction, Monday through Friday, 160 miles round trip. If anyone has made this trip, they know it is a 2 lane highway with no scenery but orchard fields, farms, high speed accidents, Indi...

  6. CA LVNs.Where did u get ur IV cert?

    Same here, I took my IV certification in may, submission at the end of may, and it has not yet posted online. The BVNPT is a mess. There is a contact person at the board who is solely responsible for the IV certification paperwork. So I guess I'm n...
  7. I was in the same boat as you. I haven't been able to find a job as an lvn/lpn and was on the fence if I should go back to school to get my RN, as there is a flood of many new grads here who are unable to find employment. I spoke to my classmates wh...

  9. LPN's who are going on for their RN ...

    I was once told by my nursing director that there are no rich nurses, maybe for the story of that retired nurse that accepted that multimillionaire inheritance some weeks ago, but besides that you can't get rich by being a nurse. That said, money can...
  10. Hello to all, I have a question for those who have gotten their iv certification in California. About how long did it take for the bvnpt to process the paperwork so that your license with IV certification appeared on the board's website? In my cas...
  11. CA LVNs.Where did u get ur IV cert?

    Does anyone have a clue to how long it would take IV certification to post in CA? I took the class in May of 2011 and its been 2 1/2 months since. I contacted a person within the BVNPT and he could not give me an answer. The thing is, I need this a...
  12. Has anyone heard of Charles a. Jones college?

    Charles A jones is accredited by Bvnpt but the facilities are pretty ghetto, it's in south sac. Most of your rotations are at snfs and a few clinics, and but for the most part, it had improved. Fyi the prerequisites here are only good for the lvn and...

  14. Just wondering, to whom did you settle for an LVN to RN program? I have contacted ISU lately and so far, they have been informative. The only thing that they mentioned is that if you failed the challenge exams, you would have to go through ISU, which...
