well, "graduation" was thursday night and this is the first chance i've had to post...my family had a party for me friday and another friend had a party saturday. we received our certificates on thursday (along with our temporary work permits), and i'm having a heck of a time finding a job. i know the right one will come along, but i need to go to work now!!! i've got bills to pay and kids to feed. i don't know what to do with my time, with no studying to do...anyone else ever felt this way?? i'm sure there are. we have an nclex review in a couple of weeks, and i've already started looking through the questions, but it feels odd to not have to study for a test this week.

i'm taking some well deserved time off from school, but plan on beginning taking prereqs for lvn-to-bsn transition in january. good luck to all those just starting out, in the middle of it all, and those finishing up!!

shonda, gvn (wow, it feels good to write that...lol)

I assume that GVN means graduate vocational nurse, correct?

Anyway, best of luck and many congratulations on a hard earned achievement. You will do well in all you do. You are an inspiration for all of us still trudging along the thick waters of nursing school.

imnrn2b...yes, gvn stands for graduate vocational nurse...texas and california are the only two states that have gvn/lvn...the other 48 have gpn/lpn.
