2. Stanbridge College LVN Program Students

   OCstudent1 replied to thenursinglife's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hi! So the $400 cost is to cover the price of the books they will be handing you once your orientation week is over. If your tuition is not going to be totally covered by grants or loans then I'm guessing you will be making monthly payments to the sc...

   I'm enjoying it, as much as you can enjoy being in nursing school! I work full time so I'm in the part time program, still in term 1. Academic wise I enjoy it, it's challenging, you have good books to work with. Of course though be prepared, in any n...

   Their clinical sites are located for the most part throughout Orange County, from La Mirada to Orange, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana. They keep it more local than other schools. They do NOT include the Ipod anymore, they may or may not provide you with the s...

6. Accepting this gift from a patient

   OCstudent1 replied to nursingpower's topic in General Nursing

   I have to say, definitely DO NOT return. On your own accord at least. If your hospital says you must return it, then ask them to return it, and send another thank you note with an explanation of why you legally cannot accept it, or why the hospital h...

   OCstudent1 replied to j-lyn's topic in California

   It is expensive, but ALL private schools for a BSN will be around the same price. It's the price you pay for a faster track. The only way to avoid the cost is go through a community college and transferring.

   Thank you! I start tomorrow, I'm excited. I never heard about the ipod though so that's interesting. How is the program going for you so far? I'm guessing today was your first day out of orientation? Did you guys get your scrubs yet? I hope it goes w...

   OCstudent1 replied to ShilohPepsi's topic in California

   They did push mine back, which I thought was strange. They called the friday before and said they are pushing it to June 2, when we were supposed to start May 17. They said it was due to students not getting their financial aid in on time and the fac...

    OCstudent1 replied to omgitsmari's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    You know I would really like to comment about everyone saying there are "no jobs" as a new LVN or RN grad. I personally feel it is projecting your own frustrations and attempting to ruin the outlook for newcomers in this world of new grads. I know MA...

    OCstudent1 replied to ShilohPepsi's topic in California

    That's weird. I just spoke with the financial aid advisor yesterday and she reassured me that my $400 will be returned once she receives my Sallie Mae loan (around june). She said that because my entire tuition is covered by loans and grants , and I...
