I'll be a new grad in Dec 2006 and will start interviewing at hospitals next week. I've searched through other threads and haven't been able to find any answers for my concerns. Particularly, what should I want to know about the hospital I might be j...

I went straight from LVN school to RN school and it helped tremendously. I don't want to raise anyone's hackles but from my point of view it was the exact same information. I learned a few things in RN school that I didn't learn in LVN school and vic...

I sprained my ankle pretty badly about 10 years and it never was right after that and then about 5 years ago I got plantar fasciitis and have been in foot hell every since. I bought a pair about 2 months ago and love them. I in no way regret the $216...

My very first LVN job was doing flu clinics so I made $30/hr (however this is only for 2 months). But when I had to get a real job I made $17/hr.

If it is possible, STAY IN SCHOOL.

Good Luck!

I say if at all possible go for your RN. It wil cut down on time in the end and you will have greater job prospects. I went for my LVN first because I knew I would get into the RN program easier in Southern California and although I had enough saved ...

While taking an NCLEX review given by my school, I met a girl who had graduated from NS ten years before and had yet to pass the NCLEX. I must say, it gave me pause and I had extremely not nice thoughts. However the one thought that I still have and ...

we were taught the same except we clamp if 500 mL comes out very quickly.

I live in California and 90% of my classmates fingerprints weren't of good enough quality for the DOJ to accept them and we had to be refingerprinted several times. However, our we were allowed to take the nclex. We just couldn't get the results or o...

I felt that way halfway through spring semester and summer didn't come soon enough. However now, I can't wait for school to start AND BE DONE WITH. I wish I could have started 3 weeks ago and been that much closer to graduation, getting a job, passin...

My school did the ERI and we needed to pass to get our paperwork sent to the board. All except one in the class passed the ERI the first time. And all except one in our class passed the NCLEX the first time around (the one that didn't, passed the sec...

I'm single with no kids and about 30% of my pay gets taken for federal tax, CA state tax, medicare, sdi and social security.

I go to El Camino in Torrance and they have no waiting list for the LVN to RN bridge.
