I have heard of CNAs with a lot of acute experience(5 years or more) and who have taken a pharmacology course being able to challenge the NCLEX-PN in California, but this ad doesn't seem to specify how much experience or what type of experience and that makes me question it's validity. Also, HHAs and CNAs are two different certifications in CA, but I have never heard of a HHA who has been able to challenge the NCLEX (it lists HHA in the title but not in the description). Is anyone on here familiar with this company? Is it a scam? Thanks

An unlicensed healthcare worker with 54 months of paid bedside experience can challenge the boards to become an LVN in the state of California. I wrote about the process earlier this summer. Click on the link below to read more:

I do not know if the company on Craigslist is a scam. As always, buyer beware!
