Accelerated BSN Texas
Hi, Have you ever considered going to a CC to obtain an ADN-RN? Your situation is identical to one of my friend. He graduated with a bachelor is psychology with the same GPA, also have tons of experience in clinical settings as CNA. As of 2019, he already completed first year into the program. One more year and he would challenge the NCLEX for RN license. I dont know if Texas have the same point system but in California, if you have your bachelor, you already had a leg up against other applicants by 10 pts. Secondly, CC nursing programs loves candidates with experience ( >500 hours will bring you another 10pts). The school offer tons of extra points for exp. Finally, CC is affordable. I hope this help. Keep fighting and best of luck. Sincerely,

LPN vs CNA??
Big differences: LPV/LVN: licensed nurse who can deliver medications and in charge of CNA. The LVN program typically will take 11-16 months. After the program, it is mandatory to pass the National Exam NCLEX in order to practice. Pay will varies on experience and facilities: usually 18 to 30$ per hour CNA: Nursing Assistant. CNA do not have license but only certificate so they could not attempt to mess with medications. CNA program will greatly varies in length but often beween 6 weeks to 3 months. After the program, the Nurse Aid will require to take the State Board composed of Skills and Written Test in order to obtain certification. Pay will be between 11-20$ ( varies greatly based on experiece) Cheers and take care. ps. All of these datas are my personal observation around Sourthern California area. These data do not represent the national statistics.

Drug Screening - "Negative Dilute"
I dont know if "negative dilute" would be the same with my case. I went to have my drug screening for my CNA employment. I always drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Unfortunately, my urine was too diluted and the lab tech told me I may need to come back to re-test since the urine's component wasn't enough to be tested. ( my urine was like clearrrrr). Anyway, it went fine and I got my drug clearance. I think you should come back for a re-check. I know some people will think that you tried to dilute your urine to cheat. In case of being drug-free, just come back for a re-test. ps. My lab tech told me to drink some juice and try not to dilute the urine too much so the urine concentration would be sufficient for testing cheers and take care
