    scallywags replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hey you again I am not at NCP, but I did look at their SSF campus. It seemed like they offer a good program. The hours they offered were difficult for me because of my children. I have heard good...

    scallywags replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No, you are not alone! I used to think I was going to be the only one going through this, or the oldest one going through this. It seems a lot of the people in classes I had at the CC as well as my...

  8. My Goal Is To Become A Registered Nurse

    scallywags replied to rafael80's topic in California Nursing

    It is a difficult decision becaue you have vested a lot of time into the pre-reqs thus far. I was in the same situation as you. I spent the past three years going to school in the evenings and...

  9. Anyone else starting the LPN program in Jan. 06?

    scallywags replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    scallywags replied to scallywags's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Right now I am in a mandatory pre req class, which (IMO) stinks b/c I have taken all the college level courses that are being covered in this one class. But, it has been a great opportunity to meet...

    scallywags replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
