@tgcid00, Anywhere you want. You can go to your own doctor as long as you bring printouts of your titers and your Tb test results. If you don't have a doctor, you can also go through employee health...

Just curious, did any of you apply to the LVN to RN program? I'm going into 3rd semester in the fall and you'll be joining my class!

@phyliciajane Los Angeles City College accepts a core science of 2.0 with an overall GPA of 2.5. Both Glendale Community College and Pasadena Community College use the Chancellor's formula to...

How about doing test review with an instructor? They should be able to give you tips about their questions and how to shift your thinking to adapt to them. Your textbook should also have info...

Hi songiecookie, Sorry it took me so long to respond to you! The only study books I use are the study guides that are published for each textbook (they will be on the booklist for the school). Last...

It's normal to doubt yourself, especially when you think of something scary like NS (and all the horror stories of failing). You just have to take it one day/class/test/assignment/etc at a time....

User proper body mechanics, draw sheets, available equipment, ask for help from other nurses/students, have the pt do as much as they are able to in helping you move them. If you are in over your...

Just wanted to say that you shouldn't lose hope if you are an alternate. When I applied to PCC last year, I got in and gave up my spot. During orientation, other students were still considering...

How are the students chosen at the ADN program? In my area, ADN programs have a minimum set of criteria and they'll throw everyone who meets that criteria into a lottery. So a 2.5 GPA student...

Everyone here has lent their opinions about family and motherhood so let me throw something else out there. Just on the issue of school alone (and this is assuming you stay where you are), a 4 hour a...

The minimum points for my admitted class was 84 points. And even then, there were students who were accepted at the last minute because others gave up their spots. So 88 points should be all good....

If the students in your program are saying that it's hard, then it probably is. Get notes from them, tips, material to review over the summer. In my program, maternal-child is pretty straight...

Is your diagnosis acceptable? That wound depend on the assessment data taken as a whole. Of all the data you collected, was enhanced religiosity the priority problem the data pointed to? If yes, then...

Last semester, I read everything. This semester, I limited my reading to med/surge and pharm. A quick skim and power point memorization for the rest.

I think the hectic schedule is one of the hardest parts. There is just a lot of info to know in a short amount of time. It just seems like there's always a test coming up (and there probably is!)....

I'm a current student at LACCONAH and it's definitely a great program! It's hard, but every nursing program is hard. I can't think of one that isn't. So I wouldn't worry too much about that. You just...

In my experience, prereqs were mostly rote memorization. Memorizing info in nursing school helps you to remember general information but it doesn't help when it comes to applying and prioritizing...

Applied to 7, got into 4. Lots of competition in my area.

To the OP, if you are still considering an ADN degree, apply to the public community colleges. Tuition is around $500-700 per semester, depending on where you go. Usually, the GPA cutoff is 2.5 and...

Are these the only schools in your area? How about looking into programs at Cal States and UCLA's accelerated program? How about an ADN program if nothing else pans out? Check the CA BRN site for...

OP, you should review your student handbook to clarify the rules and expectations of your program. HIPAA violation or not, there may be enough grounds from the school's policy to kick you out. You'l...

Well, your answer was not therapeutic because it didn't focus back on the patient's content and went into a generalized response. Anyone could have told them I wish you well and it's the kind of...

I'm not sure what the job outlook is like for Country grads specifically, but like you said, overall it's tough to get a job in general. The stats from a couple of years ago was that 43% of CA new...

Zoe, I don't think alternates got spots last semester at LAHC (from what I read on this site). But it looks like they do have a shot at PCC if last semester's trend holds true. There were alternates...

I can understand your concern. I was worried about that too but if you do some digging, you'll find that nlnac accreditation is a bigger deal in other parts of the country than in CA. There are...
