  1. I got a job!At an abortion clinic?

    Sensoria17 replied to rrandle02's topic in General Nursing

    My only concern would be safety. I'm sure they do but I have to ask anyway, do they have good security

  2. Indiana Stae University

    Sensoria17 replied to Butterflybee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    For me, the one major positive about this program is that there is no wait list. I have a list of the requirements and it looks like the nursing classes themselves will only take about 1.5

  3. Indiana Stae University

    Sensoria17 replied to Butterflybee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Scallywags, Did they give you a cost for the ISU portion of the program (the core nursing classes)?

  4. Kaiser LVN's... laid-off?

    Sensoria17 replied to NICUrn2B's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a woman in my class that works as a CNA at Kaiser. She said the LVNs received notice last week that they would be let go in a year if they had worked for Kaiser for less than 15

  5. Frustration with community college

    Sensoria17 replied to scallywags's topic in LPN to RN

    What CC are you looking at? I know not all of the CCs operate like that. Chabot in Hayward just requires that you have gotten a C in all prereqs. As far as ISU, I didn't see anything about having a W...

  6. New Grad LVN California... where to work?

    Sensoria17 replied to NICUrn2B's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know my sister works with LVNs at SF General in the ER. Also, I frequently see ads for LVNs at the VA Hospitals throughout the Bay

  7. WASC what if a vocational school doesnt have this?

    Sensoria17 replied to shalamar's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Just make sure your chosen school is accredited by the state, nevermind WASC. I think the only LVN program in the Bay Area that has this accreditation is Western Career College so that should tell you...

    Sensoria17 replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

    INFP (currently an LVN

  9. How to tell you have sleep apnea?...

    Sensoria17 replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have very large tonsils? I also sometimes wake up and it feels like I hadn't been breathing. I've never mentioned this to my doctor but even she made a comment about my large

  10. Indiana State University ???

    Sensoria17 replied to blufoxtrot's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, they are listed on CA's BON website as an approved online school. I'm probably going to go with them

    Sensoria17 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Either way, you are a still a nut job and will be viewed as

  12. Degree?

    Sensoria17 replied to sassiebaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a degree in sociology. I actually had a very difficult time figuring out what I really wanted to do and it took me a long time to finish school. Basically, I majored in sociology because I...

  13. Has anyone heard of Galen health institute???

    Sensoria17 replied to islandti_patty's topic in LPN to RN

    I know the Kentucky campus is accredited. They actually have a pretty good NCLEX pass rate - 89%. The only thing I would be concerned about are the science classes transferring if you plan to get your...

  14. lvn pre entrance exam

    Sensoria17 replied to twandact's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I took the HOBET for a school that I eventually decided against. It was basically just reading comprehension, grammar, and basic math. It also asked questions about any recent stresses you may have...

  15. No $$$ for school!!

    Sensoria17 replied to Bubbles0605's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the Sticky. I will be checking back

  17. Took my first TCN test today.....

    Sensoria17 replied to pink2blue1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I keep checking this forum for ISU students as well just to see how the program works once you actually get to the nursing classes. I don't think I have come across anyone

  18. TCN LPN to BSN through ISU...

    Sensoria17 replied to Kimily's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Kimily or anyone else doig ISU- I know Speech is a prereq. Do you really get to do Speech online? I took this class before and got a D. I didn't retake it (a D is still considered passing-barely)...

  19. West Coast University -- California

    Sensoria17 replied to jonah1105's topic in LPN to RN

    I'd like to know too and how much are you paying? I'm wracking my head trying to figure out what to do after completing my LVN program. Even though I already have a BA (different field), ISU looks...

  20. Does a college degree make a difference?

    Sensoria17 replied to caliber's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a BA in an entirely different field, however, I don't anticipate this will make me any more desirable as a potential candidate than an LVN without any additional

  21. Finally Results in ...California

    Sensoria17 replied to scallywags's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congratulations! I'd been watching to see if you passed because you went to a fairly new school that I'm now attending. I'm glad to see you

  22. How Much Is The Salary For Lvn In California

    Sensoria17 replied to sofianicole's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You won't make a decent living, at least compared to Colorado. I've seen a few clinics advertise $24-26 on Craigslist. The highest pay that I've seen posted is $70,000 and that's working in...

  23. How do the distant programs do clinicals?

    Sensoria17 replied to Browneyes98's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm not sure about ISU but it appears as though they set you up with a local hospital to do

  24. Lpn-bsn

    Sensoria17 replied to LPN825's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm interested in this also. I'd particularly like to know how long it takes to get through the nursing

  25. lpn a nurse

    Sensoria17 replied to lpnurse!'s topic in International Nursing

    So true about RNs not knowing what LVN can and cannot do. My sister has been an RN for 10 years. I just started an LVN program and asked her what exactly the LVNs can't do. She wasn't really sure...
