  1. Bad first day of clinicals

    Sensoria17 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So, Saturday was my first day at a nursing home for clinicals. I had a terrible CNA. First, she was very rough with the residents. She washed one of the patients with shaving cream! Another, she...

  2. FAILED the HESI exam

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

    What happens if you don't pass the third time? I just started a program and if you don't pass on the second attempt, you have to re-take the specific subject or module where you missed most of the...

  3. excelsior...a few questions

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

    Does this mean you simply cannot practice in the state of CA or say, can you do the bridge program outside of CA and then take CA's exam to practice (this is required if your education program does...

  4. Bad first day of clinicals

    Sensoria17 replied to Sensoria17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks Monica! I don't think it would do any good to report it. From what my CNA instructor told us, the DON isn't much better. She was involved in an incident where she was notified that a patient...

  5. Rejected A Nursing License

    Sensoria17 replied to scoobydoo32's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You might want to try talking to the Board to see what you can do about the situation. A coworker's brother was in jail for drug-dealing. After he got out out, he got himself together and went...

  6. LPN School grading system

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

    It doesn't make sense to me. You could receive an A for initiative, picking up on things faster than others, etc. I don't think it is common to catch on super quick in nursing but certainly possible...

  7. Unitek College LVN program... good or Bad??

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

    You have to take your general ed and prereqs at a community college. They don't offer them at the

  8. Are nurses professional?

    Sensoria17 replied to mmmk10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't know what the general public thinks but when my sister first starting working as an RN, one of her good friends got irritated that she was making considerably more than her "just for wiping...

  9. LVN Schools in Bay Area Info

    Sensoria17 replied to pinksky's topic in California Nursing

    Worse than a waiting list, almost all the CC's around here go by lottery. There are several private schools for LVN programs. There's NCP Vocational ($22,000), Gurnick Academy ($22,000), Unitek...

  10. How Many New Cna"s Are Older?

    Sensoria17 replied to Irene joy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm 32 and start my CNA class on Monday. The very next week after that ends I start an LVN

    Sensoria17 replied to LuvWounds's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, either call 411 or fill out the form. A rep will call you within 10

  12. University of phenonix

    Sensoria17 replied to LuvWounds's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You might want to just try calling them. They have one in Modesto, CA. There are no prereqs and the only requirement is that you have worked as an LVN for 1

  13. Previous Career Measure of Success as 2nd Career Nurse?

    Sensoria17 replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    Good thread. I've never had a calling either. I spent 13 years working on a BA. Nothing felt right. I started out majoring in accounting. After either failing or barely passing all my business...

  14. Lpn To Bsn / Or Rn To Bsn

    Sensoria17 replied to JoAnnS's topic in LPN to RN

    There is one. It's under Students Forums at the top of the

  15. Lpn To Bsn / Or Rn To Bsn

    Sensoria17 replied to JoAnnS's topic in LPN to RN

    Once you have your BSN, you are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam. It might be worthwhile to just get your BSN if you plan on going into management or advanced practice, such as a nurse...

  16. I Passed!

    Sensoria17 replied to ann945n's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh, that's just nasty....but

  17. How much did you take out in student loans?

    Sensoria17 replied to jewelshouse's topic in General Nursing

    I think I took out about $5500 (balance is $3600) for my degree in sociology. I just took out $24,000 for the LVN program I just started. I hope to be working part-time as a CNA in the fall to...

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

  22. Western Career College??

    Sensoria17 replied to nursemelani's topic in LPN to RN

    At their LVN info meeting, they said they give priority to students that did their LVN program through them. I got bad vibes from them as

  23. I think I blew my interview!

    Sensoria17 replied to nurse2bmom's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congrats! If you happen to not get this one, you'll surely get the next

  24. How many of you have multiple jobs besides being an LVN?

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

    I'm sure its stress-related. Has anyone noticed that RNs (can't say anything about LVNs as I'm not one yet) drink a lot, too. I have a relative that is an RN and she and her nurse buddies seem to...

  25. Any NCP (Nursing Care Providers) Vocational School Students??

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

    I'm getting laid off as of next week. I need to get into a program right away. NCP doesn't let you know if you are actually in until about the middle of July. I had actually taken all the prereqs...
