  1. Should I become an LVN and then continue to become an RN?

    RockyRamona posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi everyone, I'm a prospective nursing student. I'll try to make this question brief as possible but the details I say here are related to it. I originally just wanted to go straight to RN but lately...

  2. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey everyone! I need advice for something. I'm almost done with my nursing prerequisites and I'm considering going to the LVN-RN pathway. I've heard from my nursing parents that if I go on this path,...

  3. How is it like to be an ADN then going to BSN?

    RockyRamona posted a topic in General Students

    Hey everyone, I'm back! I did talk to my parents a few days ago after reading all the comments and advice. My dad assured me that where we live, nurse grads are hired. He told me there's now a...

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

    I double checked CSULA and I'd have to literally transfer and take like more 6 university courses. I'm almost done with my ADN prerequisites. After this semester, I have like two more classes to ace...

    Do per diem nurses chose the days they can work also? Do you basically get to choose went to work and get tk work on your own

  7. How is it like to be an ADN then going to BSN?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

    Does online actually teach you the skills to be a BSN? I feel like the in person classes are more helpful. But wow it's nice that your workplace has tuition assistance! Yeah when the time comes I'll...

  8. How is it like to be an ADN then going to BSN?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

    I'm keeping that in mind and making it work. Thank you. It's not something that I'll have to think about anytime soon anyways because I'm aiming for my ADN right now. But you're right. When the time...

  9. How is it like to be an ADN then going to BSN?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

    "Per diem"? As in everyday? Is it better if I can just work a few days and then go to class? I mean I could but I rather not. Going to school and going to work at the same time is very difficult for...

  10. How is it like to be an ADN then going to BSN?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in General Students

    Whoa that's nice! But I'd rather do in person classes so I was thinking of working temporarily then taking time off for school. Do you suggest that?

  11. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I understand that. I think it helps for me anyways cause it gives me the gist of working in a hospital and gets me valid work experience when applying for jobs. But I'm keeping in mind how hard it is....

  12. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already chose not to become an LVN and decided to become certified as a CNA since it only takes a month and can actually get me hospital experience when applying as an

    Thanks. I'm glad I made this post actually. It helps a

  14. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah. I'm hoping I can land a job out of L.A. and maybe in the rural areas where there's easier opportunities for work. I heard that CNA counts as experience if you work in a hospital so I'm...

  15. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tiny question for the ones who suggested me the CNA option: How can I make that count as experience on a resume for an

  16. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you but again, I wasn't planning to do it all by myself. My decision regardless, has to be talked to with my parents because they financially support me. In fact, I wanted to convince them so...

  17. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've read all of the comments and you guys have a very great point. It'd be better cost wise and time wise if I went straight to ADN. I'm definitely going to get certified as a CNA and work for...

  18. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whoa, you know what. The CNA option sounds a lot more better, financial and time wise. I know a college near me that does it. I'm going to consider this more tbh. Thank you so

  19. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually CNA doesn't sound so bad. But that will also take convincing because, this might sound surprising, but my parents don't like me taking breaks to work. It's kind of irritating cause I proposed...

  20. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You make a good point to be honest. My parents made that point a lot. But again the reason why I'm choosing it or considering it more is because the nursing job market in California is really weird...

  21. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Got it but where do you live? :0 Also I double check the job market often and I'm also still doing my prereqs so I still have time to consider. Also I took into consideration that a nurse friend of...

  22. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in California but found job ads that still hire LVNs without experience. There's even one that I found that accepts LVN grads, so I think the job market is still ok here. Besides I don't plan...

  23. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah I see the benefit of just going straight to ADN especially because I'll be supported but my reason for considering the LVN path in the first place was financial for practical reasons. Cause my...

  24. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much! I don't expect to, tbh. If anything, I might have to take out loans. It might not be so bad because the LVN program cost like 3,000-4,000 and based on the money I'll make, I'll be...

  25. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    RockyRamona replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's crazy! Well I got the same answer from an advanced admin on another blog, but she said that technically I can use it for experience but I have to be creative about it. It ultimately depends on...
