[Cynthia Dumpit]

Hello There, I'm an LVN in CA preparing to take the APA exam for ICHS (International College of Health Sciences). I was hoping to get any tips/ advice for passing the exam. I will be taking the exam in two weeks then starting the RN program this October2024. I really need to pass, so any advice as to what to study for( books, video online to watch, etc...) would be a great help and truly appreciated.

Did you stay the program? Do you like it? Do you mind sharing how classes are going for you? Am looking to start in February 2025.

Hi Cynthia, how did the APA test go? Did you pass? What did you use to practice, any recommendations. Looking to schedule mine in the next couple of weeks. Thank you.

@RachLVN hey there,  yes I did pass the APA and was awarded fundamentals and pharmacology.  I started The program and we're half way through the semester.  It's fast paced and condensed.  If you're an LVN coming in make sure you know you're head to toe assessment and are have your fundamentals down.

@rachlvn I got a lot of dosage calculation questions.  I've been using simple nursing to help me study.  

@Cha Her hey are you in our what's app group chat? 

[RachLVN]

Oh great, thank you so much for the insight, I have been stressing about the APA. I will try and practice some dosage cal. Any suggestions for Pharm. I am an LPN licensed in Oregon.
