   Ks mommy nurse replied to Chronicallychanging's topic in NCLEX

   Yesssssss you can pass the beast called NCLEX! Grades really don't mean anything when it comes to this test. I've read on several social media outlets of straight A students NOT PASSING! And, us so-so students passing on the first try with the minimu...

   I just finished and passed my 1st semester of an ADN program. My schedule was, I went to school for 4 days, worked 2 days and played catch up on my 1 day off. Noticed, I said "I passed," really not with the grades that I'm used to. I was bummed at fi...

   I laugh at "youngsters" worrying about their age and school. Pfff life happens different for everyone. I was 26 for VN school, now I'm 40 and starting RN school next month, BSN thereafter. I see my age, maturity and life/work experience as a HUGE plu...

    I blindly walked in one day and inquired about the surg tech program. Took what I'm assuming was the HESI test and decided to go for the VN program. I had NEVER heard of an LVN, lol!! The ease of the commute from Granada Hills was my deciding factor....

    Hi. I attended Concorde back in 2001. I graduated a year later. It was a good program then. The instructors were good and very helpful. This was a long time ago, so I know the staff and faculty are all different.

    Ks mommy nurse replied to hamsterwheel's topic in LPN-RN

    Thank you everyone for your comments. I've learned a lot. I will take what I've read and use it when I start school in February. I originally thought that I'd be helpful with my classmates and offer my help, SO I thought! You see, I'm a 40 year old ...
