1. Anyone taken the LVN-RN 30 unit option lately?

   nyhoneydew posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I'm thinking about taking the 30 unit option. Seems like every time I finish a class with the hopes of getting into the program they change the requirements. First I had to take another math class then they added a pharm class. While doing all that...

2. HHA working as a LPN

   nyhoneydew replied to hha77's topic in General Nursing

   In some states they do have what is called a Med Tech which you do all the same things as a nurse but you still have to be trained and certified to do so. I know of a few facilities who offer jobs like these but being asked to work as an LPN without...

3. Accelerated or Trad. BSN costs???

   nyhoneydew replied to aneres1390's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Anything accelerated or going to a private school will always cost more because they can charge whatever they want basically...be careful of which programs you choose to go to because you can't transfer credits and if you go to for instance Kaplan wh...

4. Congrats your accepted....to the wait list! Now What?

   nyhoneydew replied to nyhoneydew's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You know what I hadn't thought about saving money while I wait...totally possible. I already took the advice from another member and got into some classes. Two years is a long time and I can rack up some good credits, too bad I can't take more nurs...

5. Congrats your accepted....to the wait list! Now What?

   nyhoneydew replied to nyhoneydew's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for the positive input...my thoughts too on taking classes towards the BSN. I guess I'm just impatient right now. I'm so close but so far away. I'm signing up for some classes today maybe some western civ or something like that. Yeah I can...

6. Congrats your accepted....to the wait list! Now What?

   nyhoneydew posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ok well I have been put through the ringer with school since I moved to CA. I have applied to every school that I've heard about. I finally get an acceptance letter and it says Congratulations your accepted but its not until Spring 2012 and it said w...

7. Can anyone tell me how much a CNA would make in California hospitals?

   nyhoneydew replied to nyhoneydew's topic in CNA/MA

   That's a pretty good rate for just starting out. I am working here in oceanside now at an area hospital. I'm pretty satisfied with the pay. What school are you going to?

8. Anyone going beyond their CNA license??

   nyhoneydew replied to sunflower777's topic in CNA/MA

   I am a CNA now and I am 40 credits into my BSN but I have decided to go to an advanced program for the ADN just to get my foot in the door, then I will complete my BSN onto the masters but eventually I plan to become a practitioner. I hope to start ...

   nyhoneydew posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi all! So I finally got a job at an area hospital as an ACT and orientation is long as usual. The pay is actually pretty good and I feel like I will like the working there. I met with my manager and she asks me a bunch of questions about my exper...

10. Anyone know any schools without insane wait lists?

    nyhoneydew replied to nyhoneydew's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for responding to my dilemas:up: I have been doing a little research and did find two schools with no wait lists in CA, WCU is accelerated for the BSN 39 months if you don't have any schooling at all, less is your credits transfer and Kaplan h...

11. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place!

    nyhoneydew replied to nyhoneydew's topic in Pre-Nursing

    From what i'm told the LPN is not a credit based program, you don't earn a degree just a diploma so i'm not really sure how that works but I will ask. I found out that Kaplan has the LPN and ADN program so i'm going to check into that. Thanks for y...

12. LVN/LPN School info for everyone (tuition etc)

    nyhoneydew replied to pinksky's topic in Pre-Nursing

14. Should I just give up on nursing?

    nyhoneydew replied to ernurse2015's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Maybe you're just not a good test taker. It sounds like you are studying too much. Try a different approach in your studying skills like reading it aloud or in blocks (taking out a section at a time foucus on that and then quizzing yourself). Try ...

15. Anyone know of a cna program in San Diego area

    nyhoneydew posted a topic in CNA/MA

    My boyfriends mom would like to become a CNA and I can't really give advice as to where to go to get certified because I just moved to the San Diego area myself and honestly I don't know where to go for my own education. So that's where I need help....
