1. Kicked out of University of Phoenix

   nakinok replied to sweetmya's topic in LPN-RN

   Have you looked at Holy Names in Oakland. It is worth speaking to an admissions person there. It is expensive though, but a good a school and maybe they will give you a chance depending on your other grades.

2. looking for LVN School in North Ca

   nakinok replied to rudyp's topic in General Students

   Hi Thanks for the friend request. I went to a school called St Francis but it has closed. I don't know much about west med. I had a classmate that went there before ST Francis, and she said she felt the program wasn't teaching her much, so she left a...

3. Capping ceremony

   nakinok replied to tparker17234's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   We had a capping ceremony the night before we began our clinicals. It was a great milestone in our program. It was inspiring to be capped/pinned and recite the nursing oath. It was something that really helped us to keep going when it got hard. Congr...

4. Med Tech / Med Aides in california?

   nakinok replied to spectrabrite's topic in California

   In California just for the record CNA and MedTechs are different. As a CNA I was not suppose to give Meds in the facility setting. When I was hired as a MedTech I could only function under that certification/licensing, not my CNA or my LVN when I got...

5. Med Tech / Med Aides in california?

   nakinok replied to spectrabrite's topic in California

   I am a LVN who use to be a MeD Tech and I never saw anything on my NClex prep or test concerning MedTechs. I saw CNA delegation ect but not Med techs. I will try to look in my old training manual if I still have it lol and see who governs that. But a...

6. Ambien order did I make a mistake

   nakinok replied to nakinok's topic in Medications

   Thank you so much. I read it to mean repeat original dosage as well. I am going to call my nursing manager to clarify again myself. I definitely don't want to be in error and jeopardize a patient. Also I don't want to give the wrong dosage because ot...

7. Ambien order did I make a mistake

   nakinok posted a topic in Medications

   The order reads Ambien 5mg 2tabs po qhs, mrx1 what do you think this is? I thought original Order of two 5mg tabs can be repeated once if needed. I was told you only repeat with one 5mg tab. I am confused. What do y'all think?

9. BSN without RN

   nakinok replied to jcarver1112's topic in General Students

   Yes many of the prereqs can be done online but many nursing programs do not except the science courses that have a lab from Online schools. Also as the other poster stated it really helps to be in class for those foundamental classes in nursing. I to...

11. Retake in California

    nakinok replied to miss.lee's topic in NCLEX

    I didn't do a retake but I thought if you failed you just paid Pearson to schedule a new date after the required wait and took it. honestly if you are close enough I would drive down to Sacramento. I also had luck with emailing them when I had questi...

12. My school has a pre-nursing program but No clincals

    nakinok replied to Malpal23's topic in LPN-RN

    I have never heard of a program that offers an ADN approved by the board of nursing that does have clinicals at all. I would check that out with your state board and really ask the school what you graduate with upon completion . Will you be able to s...

13. How hard is LPN school?

    nakinok replied to Glina's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    It is very hard but doable. I would recommend if possible not working. At least your first semester. It has mostly been difficult for me because I am single and live cross country from family so financially it isnt an option not to work full time to ...

14. Help! Stay in LVN or go to RN?

    nakinok replied to BeJuled's topic in LPN-RN

    Make sure you wait until you officially are enrolled in the program to drop your current school. Well if it was me if one program is day and the other evening I would over lap and do both for the few months, but if not possible go into the RN progra...

    I decided to go that route because I am in a state that has insane waiting lists for programs and I have had friends waiting for 2-3 yrs to get in and your prereqs are not good after 5. I know someone who waitied and now has to take some things over...
