  1. Want to be an LVN but I can't pass the TEAS

    JennMcK posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried once to take and pass the TEAS and I did not do well on the math part. That is not surprising since I'm terrible at math. I'm ok at Science and good at English/Spelling, etc. Anyhow it's...

  2. Want to be an LVN but I can't pass the TEAS

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

    Thanks, yeah I think I need to do that. All my life I have had problems with Math. I have always needed special tutoring for

  3. Want to be an LVN but I can't pass the TEAS

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

    I have yet to find an LVN program that does not require that you pass the TEAS exam. Here in San Diego, they all do. The Grossmont Health Occupations Center is where I wanted to get my LVN education...

  4. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

    JennMcK posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in San Diego and I became a CNA in June of 1999 throught the ROP Program. I passed the state board exam test. I also took the Healthcare Essentials course at the Grossmont Health Occ Center...

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

    Thank you Stephalump (and everyone else). I think I will do that.

  6. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    Yeah I think I'll need to do that (the tutoring), although I have spoken to other nurses and they told me that they were bad at math and still managed to do it. They told me, "You'll learn it as you...

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

    I would probably have to as well. I think it varies from state to state. Where do you live? I live in

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

    I'm actually thinking of becoming an LVN rather than an RN. But we'll

  9. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    Oh I know all about that. I'm not bad at calculations and measurements. We learned about that in my CNA class. I'm just not good at advanced math like algebra,

  10. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    Oh really? Yeah I could probably do that. However if I go into any school, it will have to be when my son is in school full time (he's only 4 years old right

  11. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    Forget it, I'm not going to even bother anymore. If I have to take and pass the TEAS test then I'd rather not even try to become an LVN or an RN. The reason why is that if I never pass the test,...

  12. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    I also think I did bad on the math section of the TEAS test because I wasn't prepared for it. I did not study for it or anything. I wasn't even aware that there was a test to take. I was very naive...

  13. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    I'm not looking for an easy way out. It just seems like it's very hard just to get accepted into any nursing school, even LPN (which is what I'm aiming

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

    Oh really? Well that's a relief, thank you for letting me know that. That's one obstacle out of the

  15. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    Thank you. Unfortunately California makes it so much harder to get into Practical Nursing (or any Nursing) programs. I know each state is different. I'm not sure where you live, but out here it is...

  16. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    Thank you. Yeah I have a big fear of the TEAS exam for that reason (math) alone. I can't even comprehend pre-algebra without help. I would love to be able to get into the LVN program at the...

  17. There seems to be obstacles everywhere.

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

    Thank you. I'm just afraid of failing it again. I have a learning disability with math (I always have). Even in High School I had Special Education math because I was so bad at it. I'm afraid that...

  18. So many questions

    JennMcK posted a topic in General Students

    Is there anywhere in San Diego where I can take a CNA class without having to pass a test to get admitted? It seems like wherever I turn (in the ROP programs), most classes have a test of some sort....

  19. Advice on Math in LVN Education

    JennMcK posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi, I became a CNA/HHA in 1999 and I enjoyed the class and my teacher was great. I do want to become an LVN, but I'm not great at math. The math I have the biggest problem with is advanced math...

  20. LVN TO BSN Online IN california?

    JennMcK replied to nursynurseRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think there's very many Nursing courses online which are approved by every state. There is an online CNA program which California does not recognize or accept. I'll have to be honest, I've...

  21. Advice on Math in LVN Education

    JennMcK replied to JennMcK's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thank you all. I was beginning to think it would be almost impossible for me. We didn't learn much about dosages and such in my CNA

  22. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    JennMcK replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    When I did my CNA training here in San Diego, I loved it. At first I was a little squeamish about changing residents diapers and giving them showers (during my clinicals). However I got over that...

  23. Thoughts on Maric College?

    JennMcK replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Well I e-mailed Maric a few days ago. They told me that there is an 80 week program. It's a 4 hour evening class on M T W & Th nights (Theory). Their Clinicals are on weekends. Either that or...

  24. LVN Programs,San Diego,Ca.

    JennMcK replied to Nancy428's topic in California Nursing

    Thank you. I did the prerequisites for that (ROP LVN Program) back in 1999. I did my CNA/HHA program (passed the state boards) and took the Healthcare Essentials class at the Grossmont Health...

  25. LVN Programs,San Diego,Ca.

    JennMcK replied to Nancy428's topic in California Nursing

    I would want to be able to take evening classes at Maric in San Diego (for LVN) so I don't have to be in class 5 days a week from 8 to 4 (or however long it is). If they have an 18 month option...
