Hi, I started CTD's LPN program last Jan of 2010. I entered in as an advanced placement student because I had A&P already. Anyhow, it is our understanding that you do not have to work one year as an LPN in order to get fast tracked into Pima's RN...

Hi Angela, For me, the hardest thing about getting into nursing school, besides taking exams and writing papers, has simply been waiting to get into an actual program. I have been on wait lists both in California, where I did my prereqs, and on lists...

By the way, what is the name of your school. 60 students? Wow that's a pretty big class. Oh, I hear that nursing school is demanding, yet students seem to find the time to play around on this site. So, it must not be super tough? As for me, I'm a mal...
First off, pardon me for not knowing how to start a new topic thread as I'm new on this site. By the way, I'm an RT that will be starting nursing school in soon. Finally! I have an comment/concern regarding being sued. It's odd but within a one week ...

I'm not actually replying directly to your question, however, I have a few comments. If ROP is still offering an LVN program you might want to consider that. You do need your CNA first. Last word was that Golden Care Academy's CNA program in San Dieg...

I'm responding rather late to the CTD post. Nonetheless, CTD is where I'm going in 2010. Man! I can't believe I just wrote 2010! To think I started on my career change in 2006, yet only now do I finally have a start date. It's plain ridiculous! I ga...
