Does anyone know any LVN programs that are affordable at SoCal and can transfer

I took it when I wanted to go to SJSU. Its basic high school english. I wrote a lot of "I feel..I am" and I passed at the minimum. ?

I'm actually really, really surprised at this and I am so sorry this has happened to you. In my old program, the clinical instructors encouraged the first semester students to ask questions. I mean, as long we are polite and professional theres no such thing as a stupid question. There are some nurses who just don't like students, and I think that's what happened with you. Whenever you ask a question, just always be polite and say thank you. I would always let the nurses know if they need any help I will do my best and be there for them. Usually thats when they start to feel like they can count on you. Sometimes it just doesn't work. Please make sure you are able to debrief after each clinical. It can be mentally and physically exhausting, self care is so important. I think that's what happens to so many of us nursing students we get so stressed to the point where we physically/mentally sick. I always call someone or my peers to talk/vent about what happened.

UPDATE EDIT: Hi there, First and foremost: I'd like to apologize to anyone that I offended regarding the LVN program. I didn't mean make it as a "downgrade". First semester I shadowed an LVN and she was so knowledgeable. She did the LVN route to get experience then become an RN. It really irks me when people say LVN are "not nurses" (Had a patient say that to me once) because they went through extensive schooling. ....I dropped the maternity class with a "W". I really thought hard and the drop date with a W is May 5. I thought to myself if I had continued and still even scored a 91 lets say...I would still have failed and kicked out of the program. I spoke to a counselor and she said if I take the "W" it would not affect my gpa. So I did the lesser of two evils. I can manage to try to get a B in medsurge 3, but I will still be out of the RN program because I already have a repeat of another course. I cannot reapply, which means I'm out from that community college and most likely other colleges from that LA district permanently. ? I was thinking of doing the LVN program so I can gain experience/confidence in clinicals. Once I feel that I am confident, then go back to RN-BSN. I'm having a hard time finding schools that transfer credits to LVN other than antelope valley and pasadena cc. I'm already applying to jobs as a CNA at the moment and trying to pass medsurge 3.

Honestly no....I don't think I can make it. Last day to drop with a W is may 5.

So I don't think I'm gonna be able to pass my OB class and rotation. I suffer so bad from my anxiety, my teacher stated I really need to reevaluate how I cope with it and see a therapist. My mental health has been taking a tole that I went from my first clinical warning to straight clinical probation because I couldn't even draw up the med (I completely blanked out). I was in the collaborative ADN-BSN program ? Here are my options I came up with: - continue this semester and try to get a 97% on the final (yes, that is what I exactly need to pass the class) and pass my medsurge III class - take a year off to focus on my mental health, then go back to school, get CNA to work at hospital -LVN- Get LVN, experience, then go back to getting RN school I'm 26, I feel terrible I dont even have a career yet and a failure.

Hello there, 1st, I'd like to say the syllabus is designed by the teacher and must be approved by the nursing director and the nursing assistant director before the start of class. The total points overall is 735 points. 2. The class had to do an ABG worksheet with nursing interventions. About 15 students received an email that they need to be seen asap in regards to the class. What happened is that about 15 (there is 34 students in the class) were accused of cheating. The professor believes that this "independent assignment" (note, this was not states clearly in the directions) everyone had the same interventions written. As a result, each student that had similar answers were called into her office. Last monday, all 15 students were harassed, belittled, and yelled at for being accused of cheating. The professor even stated she did not believe students can get a perfect score because this worksheet is "too advanced" for the class to get the answers correct. It got to the point that this professor brought their kids into the discussion (some students are single moms) and shamed them too. It got so bad the director of nursing had to get involved, the nursing assistant director too. The class points is 735 points, out of all the points, we only get 4% back. She took out the bag worksheet and still put "0" for the students accused of cheating, which is affecting their grade. The nursing director states nobody is being sent to the dean for plagiarism. I didn't do so good on the exam, but I know the reason why. I have to see this professor to review tomorrow and I am absolutely terrified of her now. There is a lot of sketchy things going on with the nursing administration, even a teacher failed a student on purpose. There was actual documentation that she did and yet, she still is a professor teaching there. Regarding this situation, can she really change all the assignments in her syllabus? Isn't a syllabus a contract between student and teacher?

No. The nurse was there. I would never give meds w/o a nurse present. It was because I had a clinical warning from an unfinished drug calculation test first, wasn't organized, I didn't scan his bracelet Mar and did not document it. I would have had a clinical probation if I had documented it. but I didn't. The patient wasn't harmed at all and was given the correct dose. It was the way of how I handled the situation. I was asking if anyone has experienced this. I can be nurse, I'm not giving up.

I'm really bummed out. I'm a second semester nursing student at a CC RN program and I received a clinical fail. I was beyond distraught/ devastated. I had a lot of personal things going on and I was overwhelmed in med surge clinicals. The clinical fail was because I already had a clinical warning because I didn't pass my drug calculation test. Then, I wasn't supposed to give meds w/o my instructor there. I did it anyway with insulin. It was the right patient, but I didn't even scan the MAR. There was just so many wrongs of what I did. I had to withdrawal from the class. Now I'm just so worried about not getting in to repeat for next semester. I've been asking around and I haven't met anyone who got a clinical fail and still was able to get n the program. I have GAD and MDD. I was doing really well on theory, but I don't even know why I did that. I had so much going on. I've decided to get on the student disability, get a new psychiatrist referral, and go to therapy once a week. I have 3 months to get better for fall. Has anyone came back from a clinical fail and was able to repeat the class? Has anyone experienced this? I'm still bummed out...although I kinda feel a relief I can do some self care now.

I never heard of VARK, what is that?

I'm a first semester nursing student and I did not do so well on my first pharm and gerontology exams. I know why I failed pharm, I didn't study so much as I should. However...for Gerontology... I rewrote my notes, do group studies every Sunday, do PrepU, go to office hours. I still got a 68 on the test. Everyone was surprised because I knew the material and i still didn't pass. I think I'm lacking a lot of critical thinking and did more memorizing. I'm so nervous because my next gerontology exam is this Monday (2 days from now) I'm rewriting my notes and doing a lot of PREPU (a program where critical thinking tests) The thing is, the questions in PREPU is nothing like my teacher's exams. And it goes by units...not by chapters (my prof skips chapters). I really don't know how else to study for this subject. Kinda ironic that i work in a nursing facility but I still didn't pass. Please help

I am deathly afraid of being kicked out. I used to be an A/B student and got all A's and B's in my pre-req. Then this happened and I surely don't want to fail nursing school. I write on the test and cross out the questions I see wrong. I think I'm just a really bad test taker in general because i know the material. And prioritizing. That's an issue. I have a skills quiz monday, and the week after I have fundamentals and a pharm test.

It's only been 3 weeks and I already feel my self-care is being neglected. I've always struggled with anxiety/depression and I'm medicated for it. However, the stressload of nursing school is overwhelming me to the point where I'm crying. I close to tears because I keep thinking how behind I am. I feel like I was already behind on the first day of nursing school. I studied my butt off on my first exam and I got a D. I was so devastated and my classmates were very surprised. These nursing classes were something I have never experienced. The first exam was literally the hardest exam I've ever taken in my entire life. I do have lots of support. But I've been feeling stressed and just exhausted. People have been asking if I'm okay because I've been isolating myself a lot. But its because I've been trying to finish my assignments. I read some chapters during the summer and did everything I can to prepare. I'm having a hard time concentrating.I just feel I'm always behind, is this feeling normal? I feel kinda of..blank. My lovely boyfriend is such a trooper, he notices the changes. He's also in nursing school so he's been my rock. We study together sometimes. I just feel my anxiety is taking over and I'm losing my battle with my mental illness. I'm so afraid of failing nursing school, the next exam, the next skills quiz I have monday. Or I might accidentally kill my patient. I was trying to read and focus on pharmacology hw. I just don't understand the drip calculations and such. Don't get me wrong. I love nursing school and I worked so hard to get this far. I'm no quitter and I feel proud that I'm easily able to talk to patients. I knew nursing school wasn't going to be easy, I thought I wouldn't break down.

Has anyone here spoke to the financial aid office and was able to have them consider nursing students as full time? I remember at the orientation (May 5th) one of the previous students said that... anyone know
