I have not been on allnurses in a while. I saw the news on facebook and wanted to give my condolences to family and friends. You are all in thoughts and prayers.

I have a question I have just found out that CA BON does not accept Excelsior. Do they accept Indiana State University? Has any one from CA done the LVN to RN through them and then took state boards? I keep getting mail from them and I am wondering i...

any rn program is going to have pre rec's. what about la county school of nursing, they even have a 30unit option if you want to cut out a lot of pre rec's. problem with this is that it is not a degree and you can only work in ca. for wgu you can get...

What about http://www.ladhs.org/wps/portal/!ut/p/c1/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os_hAFz8jl2AXYwN3F2dTAyMXLz9397BgIwNXQ_1wkA7cKrxNIfIGOICjgb6fR35uqn6kfpQ5TlMszfVD9Auys9NcHBUVAfgeuO8!/dl2/d1/L0lDU0lKSmdvS1VRIS9JSFNBQ0lpTXlDb3FiRURBSUEhIS9ZQTQ1NDUwLTVGMH...

I am a LVN program nurse for the DD/MR population. While I struggle with the fact that I don't get hands on experience I really truely love what I do. We will be opening up 2 group homes in the near future and I hope to work in the 2 of them which ma...

Caliotter same here. I decided just to do the traditional route at either CC or La county school of nursing.

Sounds like the LVN school I went to. I think it is a common problem regardless to geographical location.

Does anyone know the price of the program if you have all the pre recs done and you are just going to do the nursing part.

You have got the wong person about the erection is gross comment that was not me. As far as the rest of the post: I do not see how it's an "issue" even if the pt's brings it up. You are a professional and need to act accordingly. I am sure that som...

I think I saw the anwer to this ? somewhere but not can't find it. How much are the Excelsior practice exams? I looked on excelsior but they don't list a price before you register for them.

Does anybody have any info/advice about this school. I got a flier today and looked up some info on the net but it was limited. What are the courses like? Would you recommend doing pre recs at CC 1st? What is the pace like? Any opinions would be appr...

I'm single mom of 3 and did lvn school with yougest 20months when I started. Getting ready to start pre rec's for RN it will be hard, but it can be done.

Thats alot of money. Does it include everything. Pre recs, books, uniform, and supplies?

I personally would not work float right out of school, Per Diem maybe if it was for one or 2 units. I worked in an ER for 5 year prior to getting my LVN and I saw the foalt/per diem/ and registry nurses in and out. The regular ER nurses would have to...

I work m-f 8 til 4 right now, so no time for a 2nd job. But if I was doing 12 hour shifts 3days a week, I probably would work a PRN or registry job.

They are on the Ca BON website. But it's ISU in partnership with Sonoma State University. http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/onlineprograms.shtml .

I have a Kaiser 2 blocks from my house. I have been trying to get hired by them for almost 2 years, no such luck though. I am not sure if they use LVN's in the hospital right now they keep changing it. I know they do use them in the clinics and the D...

Try to get job somewhere in healthcare. CNA, PCT, Unit Secretary ect. It will give you somewhat of a "feel" for healthcare and pt. care.

A person that has never been an addict or in recovery, may still have advise to offer. That is why they are here. While in this case we may not know how OP is feeling being and addict or enrolled in NAP, words of encouragment can be offered to her as...

I am a little confused. Did the add have a specific pay listed and the HR rep said no that is not right? I work in DD/MR and love it (day program not group home), it is challenging and not for everyone, but if you have the heart and patience I say go...

Can your hubby take the kids to the park or somewhere so that you can get some study time in. Or leave them home with him and got the library, the librarys here have one night a week that they are open late.

The pre recs can be taken at a CC or university they do not have to be clep'd dantes or EC exams, these routes just make it alot faster to get pre rec's out of the way. ISU is really the only ppl that can tell you if the classes that you are taking r...

Check out my post #431 it's a list of the courses requited before admission.

I pay $550 a month for 7:30 to 6pm I can use max hours if I want, for 1 child. I did the math and if she is working 4 hours per day she is getting $18.75 an hour if she is working 8 hours then its $9.37 both above min wage. Minimum wage here is $8 an...

Just to get you by have you tried Dr. offices clinics and such? Nursing potisions outside of the hospital setting? It may not be your dream job but it will put food on your table, gas in your tank and pay the rent.
