My orientation was only 8 weeks, but I had a great preceptor. Do you think your preceptors were part of the problem? One of the things my preceptor did was give me a time/goal when my morning assessment, med pass, and charting needed to be done. This...
You don't need a program that's nationally accredited. All that matters is that the program is regionally accredited AND programmatically accredited (CCNE or ACEN). There are plenty of programs that fit what you need.

I did the CNA route before nursing school, worked as a CNA at hosptial during school, now I am an RN at a hospital. It was worth it for me, especially during clinicals.

A friend of mine was looking at LVN-RN brige and found LPN-BSN track - BSN | College of Health and Human Services. Indiana State is a state university so it is legit. Unfortunately, my friend is from CA and it is not approved for CA students.

I wis they would have emailed that unit sheet they had. It would have been nice to research the different units since that's where we aren't basically interviewing for. So I felt really taken off guard in that aspect. Also there were at least 10 unit...

I think the manager I spoke with said they're taking 25-30 people out of the 60-79 that interviewed. I wasn't sure how many were in that list. It's just hard to see because we don't know how many sports are for each unit.

I feel like that it should be ok because I applied to a couple of programs and we can't ask everyone to give us 10-20 signed/original letters I don't think that's typical. hopefully it is!
