   CPR is usually offered by the company who hires you but if you are thinking of getting one before applying, I would suggest to look for a hospital. In my case, I took it at Sharp. I have paid a fee and then I went to the on site training. It took a d...

   Med pass was a lil easy for me as I was then a med tech to the same facility for almost 2 years. That helped me so much to transition in becoming LVN and the rest, I just learned it as I go along such as noting and carrying out order. Do you guys do ...

   Congrats! I told you so. Sometimes it is your determination that will lead you to where you are. It doesn't really have to be your experience at all times as some prefers someone who is freshly made and is willing to learn who eventually, will delive...

   Though they can verify your license # through the website, it is still best to wait for the card before applying, as most of the employers will have to get a photocopy of your license during job offers or on hiring day. If I would suggest, try to wor...

   Goodluck! Just like you, I'm a foreign grad and once challenged the LVN exam. Prior to becoming an LVN, I had a medtech and caregiving experience in a retirement home which is the same place who then hired me as an LVN. I have also tried other facili...

   @SmilingBlueyes: I am not a US graduate . I hold a BSN RN license in other country. I challenged the board for LVN in one of US's state knowing that the BRN will not grant me to apply for an RN exam not until I finish prereq and comply to their stan...

   @Nature_walker: Yes indeed. It is really tough for me. There are times I would have a blank stare towards a family member, colleague, a patient or to a doctor. Moments where, while they are talking, I kinda need to put the puzzle together and it woul...

   @Crush: Your advice is wonderful. I am actually taking into consideration of taking a refresher course or a possibility of repeating my whole BSN program which I finished 6 yrs ago. I have never took my education here in US so there is this feeling o...
