  2. I'm finally getting it together

    TwinDaddy posted a topic in General Students

    After jumping through a few hoops, I've got a plan to just go directly into an ADN program. It starts in January. In the meantime, since my CNA license (another state) expired some 5 years ago, I'm...

  6. Advice on how to get the Mrs to doctor

    TwinDaddy posted a topic in General Nursing

    TwinDaddy replied to TwinDaddy's topic in General Students

    This is my plan B. We all (I would reckon) want to dive right into nursing school. I have the unenviable position of no financial aid and recently terminated from a job. I need income but m taking the...

    What the issue is I worked at HCA hospital some 8 years ago. They had a glitch where I didn't get paid for a couple weeks. I got upset and I didn't want to work without being paid so I called in and...

  10. I cannot catch a doggone break

    TwinDaddy replied to TwinDaddy's topic in Nursing Career

    I wasn't thinking I would be getting a break. What I mean is that from the colleges around me there are LVN/Paramedic to ADN programs. I work in F&B as well (manager). I could very well go the LVN...

  11. I cannot catch a doggone break

    TwinDaddy posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've been racking my brain as to a definitive path to an RN license. Go straight to a program, LVN or even Paramedic then bridge. Smartly, the advice I received through counselors and the like was to...

  13. LVN before ADN

    TwinDaddy posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Everyone has definitely told me that it's best to pursue the ADN initially. I'd rather do that. But I have a backup plan if I cannot get the scholarships and grants. LVN starts June 2019 through May...

    If I were to take A&P 1 and 2, Microbiology and Pharmacology (and general ed courses are done), how much per semester am I looking at? I would be a career changer who cannot get student loans so I...

    "I'm shooting for the Fall 2019 class and I can save at least 2 bonuses from work (about $1500 each quarter) and want to know if that covers at least 2 semesters. Aside from that I am saving $100 per...
