congrats!!!! nursing school will be tough, but it will also be a very rewarding experience. wish u success in your education. good luck!

lol youll do great in AP. its very interesting stuff and it will further solidify prior knowledge that you have regarding AP. But that would be awesome if you could test out of nursing 1. i honestly did not learn anything new in nursing 1. the ...

basically, clinicals is a time for you practice being a nurse and do nurse stuff(depends on your scope, what material u guys have covered, and how comfortable your instructor is). fun stuff tho. just be prepared whenever you have to pass meds or do...

commuter is correct! but u got to remember that everyone deserves good nursing care. plus, becoming and lvn will only open up more doors for u. any advancement in education is a positive. many people tend to forget that.

i became an lvn in 2006 and im currently in the 4th semester of an adn program. i had to do the entire rn program due to the fact that my school did not offer an lvn-rn bridge program. to be honest, i felt that the lvn program was a lot more diffic...

well, if there aint a shortage right now, then there will be considering that the average age of a nurse is over 50 years old. pretty soon they will retire and academia salary isnt competitive enough to draw in more nurse educators. i remember read...

i went straight lvn, but i have talked many great CNAs to continue on for their lvn. as far as school and tuition, the facility i work at is willing to pay for their tuition but they are gonna be required to work 2 years after graduation. regarding...

i've never dated a patient but i have been harassed by same sex patients-kinda weird if i may add...

dude, i wish work was like grey's anatomy, but the sad truth is that most of the time it is not. it would be cool and make work kind of exciting, but think of the drama that would be involved, specially during a conflict. imagine getting the silent...

lvns in cali make atleast 40k a year and we are used in hospice a lot. we cant administer ivp meds, but the majority of meds in our hospices are SL/PO/or PR(morphine, ativan, and compro). so no problems there. check with your bon and confer with h...

i wont lie to you, theres a lot of bad things that can happen in a shift. but the beauty about it is when your patients say that you are their favorite, when your co-workers always asks you to reassess their patient for them cause of your skills, or...

hi, my name is jon and i work as an lvn in rehab. anyways, lately, i hear my coworkerS talking about why they got into nursing and that nursing isnt what they expected to be and i guess their negativity has somewhat grown on to me. soo my simple q...

my brother and i turned in our applications for fall2008 Generic RN program at a local cc about a month ago. anyways, we got our acceptance letters today and he ended up getting in while i got rejected. it totally sucks because i pushed him to actu...

60 started, 39 graduated and only two out of the 39 didnt pass the nclex on the first try.

i graduated from acc back in 2005. really great school with really great teachers. they are kind of strict with grades, dress codes, attend... overall, i think it was a great school and they really prepared me well for the real world.

coool... congrats to all that have been accepted.

i know how you feel. im taking a&p2 and micro right now, and my grade for a&P is just horrible. lets just say that i have a chance to pass a&P with a b, but thats going to take lots of hard work and a miracle to accomplish. on the othe...

i know this topic should be in the student nurse forum but i would like to ask fellow nurses what they would rather perfer. my current situation is rather simple but some what complex at the same time. right now i am in the last semester of comple...

not confusing at all. if you decided to go the lpn ladder route, just remember that there might be some down time due to the fact that you need to study for your nclex and stuff. then theres also prereqs for the rn program that you need to complete...

i wouldnt mind working at walmart, if they paid me the same wage i get now in nursing but really, nursing is a lot of hard work. just being in a facility tires me down.

i agree with everything you say about nursing assistants. in the real world, having good nursing assistants can mean a good shift. they can make you or break you, atleast thats what ive learned.

i just study. i dont study to rememorize, but i study to learn so i can apply what i learn to my job. everybody has their own way of studying but when i study, im usually in front of a mirror talking to myself as if i was giving a presentation. ev...

the school i went to provided me with a cheap stethoscope but it was cheap so i went and bought my self a cardiology stethoscope from bearshears.com. their product is amazing by the way.

wow... and i thought my summer was gonna be hard. anyways, my summer schedule: english 1a college algebra critical thinking fall general bio o-chem public speaking monotheisms

hey guys, i was thinking of going wcu in LA, but how much is the tuition for someone who has all general ed and science prereqs done? also, how long would it be?
