I'm a new LVN and was almost done with RN degree when I put it on hold. Hope to get back to it soon.

  1. Southern Cal - Please help!!!

    ok, one more question. Going off Salary.com, I was assuming I'd start out as a new LVN at around $35/year. After reading some posts on here, I'm wondering if I could make more than @$17/hr, especially if I work night shift. I make $23/hr. now ($48/ye...
  2. Southern Cal - Please help!!!

    thanks for the replies. I actually talked to University of Phoenix awhile back, they only do RN (Associates) to BSN. Not LVN to RN I can't believe nobody has yet thought to offer online classes and then just have the students do clinical work on wee...
  3. Southern Cal - Please help!!!

    I also just found out about mount St. Mary's evening/weekend program from reading a post. I went to their website and they aren't even accepting applications for Fall 06 transfer students! If they aren't even accepting applications, doesn't that mean...
  4. Southern Cal - Please help!!!

    thank you for your response. An online bridge program would be great! Do you know of any such program? I inquired about one and they responded with one sentence that my state didn't accept the online program. Are you in CA? I wish I could slow down a...
  5. Southern Cal - Please help!!!

    I just don't know what to do! I'm an LVN, with no experience. I took the boards in CO and got licensed and then moved to CA. By the time I got my license, I was already employed in a non-healthcare related field, making $50/K year. I applied for some...
  6. LVN to RN nights/weekends?

    Hi Kittytn, I sent you a private message :)
  7. What do patients say that irks you?

    That's exactly what I was thinking. Nurses are human also and it is very normal to do your job, and do it well, and still need to *vent*. This is an appropriate place to vent. You know you can't say these things to the patient so you do what you have...
  8. LVN to RN nights/weekends?

    I live in Ontario and work in Pasadena (but I'm hoping to find an LVN job closer to home). Anyone know of any schools that have the LVN to RN program that has classes and clinicals at night or on the weekends? I'm not sure what to do cause I'm at a ...
  9. LVN/RN/Working while in school- What to do! :)

    Well, I never once considered LVN. I also have always had to work full time and took classes part time for an eternity. Finally started a 2 yr RN program even though I had so many BSN pre-req's, I just wanted to finish school and get my RN as quick a...
  10. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    Texas is the best!
  11. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    I just moved to the LA area and commute 1 1/2 hrs to and from work each day and still pay twice as much for a condo than I did for my house in colorado. Don't get me started!
  12. New To California.

    as for jobs, look at Careerbuilder.com, hotjobs.com and some other links I recently heard about are nursefinders.com, hirenursing and healthcareers. Due to my resume on careerbuilder.com, I get nursing job announcements often.
  13. New To California.

    Hi, I'm an LVN who moved here about 8 months ago from Colorado. I haven't actually received my CA license yet so I haven't begun working but I have already looked into a few schools and I know they have LVN to RN programs. I looked briefly at the USC...
  14. Thinking about Nursing

    Another quick thought for you. If you aren't completely sure Nursing will be for you and you've already spent 3 years in school, maybe you should just do the LVN first and make sure you like it before you spend so much more time in school. If you don...
  15. Thinking about Nursing

    Maybe you should look at school's nursing programs online that you might be interested in going to, and see what pre-req's are required and how many more you would need, and then talk to a counselor. That might help you figure out how long it might t...
