    No No Nooooo. 30,000 for LVN no I did my LVN in LA at the adult school in El Monte for 3000 everything included uniforms, books, lab fees ect. Cc and adult schools are typically respected much more than the for profits. If you are worried about you...

  4. Dilemma: choosing between ADN vs ABSN

    That depends on location. In my state it is rare that a hospital will hire any ADN even the rural ones want BSN.

    My husband is from Mexico and the kids in his family drink coffee from a young age. The coffee they drink when we go to visit his family is soooo weak to me. My hubby thinks my coffee is way to strong.
