Hi, I have been an lvN for 15yrs-Army trained --hurah! In any case just accepted aposition for DSD and my training course does not begin until August. I need to clean up waht was left by the outgoing DSD and have very little direction or knowledge. My expiernce in SNF more than 10 yrs ago and most current inpatient, mulit specialis MD office, and last nurse manager for Assisted living> I am hopeful for any help am currently reviewing Title 22 but can not find what needs to go in an employee file. Please help....my DON is new as well and is rightfully overwhelmed:-( Big thanks in advance!!!!

I'm sorry my post may have been unclear. I received my application for exam by the california state board of Registered Nursing. The area that lists qualifications is vague wether or not that acccept military schools and they suggest reaserch prior to sending the app. and fees because the money is non refundable.... Since this post I went ahead and checked out some of the LVN 30 unit option/LVN to RN bridge programs. I found out if I go this route my license is only good in California and the courses are non transferable toward a ASN or BSN program(later)... I am leaning toward the Indiana State University LVN-BSN program, in fact, I think may go ahead and sign on....any thoughts or opinions again are welcome...You all are a great resource, thank you!

...darn!thanks for the heads up...

...is this possible? I just recieved my application in the mail and I am also new to this site. Before I send in my non refundable payment I wanted to know if anyone knows wether or not they accept the US Army 91c school or will I just have to apply to LVN to RN bridge program here in California? I've been a LVN for 15yrs, but the past 6yrs I have been a stay at home mom. Since I let my license expire(did not think I would return to NSG burnt out)I had to sit for the NCLEX PN again and luckily passed. In any case I'm finding it a bit challenging re-entering the work force while I have been out so long. Although I have a lot of expierence, acute, out patient, etc...I am at the high end of the pay scale because of expierence 9yrs(not counting 6yrs at home)and am not getting worthwhile offers. I thought if I could challenge the RN boards I would be more marketable with the LVN background...any advice or thoughts are welcomed.Thanks!
