@Alicoco Hi did you end up taking pathophysiology outside of nightingale? Im trying to find an online Patho class if you know of any. Thank you

Hi Had12, I haven't applied yet. I plan on applying for the cohort that starts in Sept. If you don't mind me asking what we're your HESI scores? I haven't taken mine yet.

Hi it really depends on where you work. Home health you can get paid anywhere from 18-35. I know of one that pays LVN's 40 a visit, but of course it's hard to get in. If you go to smaller homehealth agencies you tend to get more. In a hospital you would start out making at the least at 24 and hour, but that's if the hospital is union. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley area, and I think you can find affordable areas out there. If I were you I would go back for my RN. It just makes things easier. Hope this info helps.

Have you looked into CNI College, American Career College, and Stanbridge University. All three have Rn programs without a waitlist. They cost about 75,000 for each program. The cost is less if you have classes done. Also these aren't Bsn programs they're Adn programs. Hope this helps you out.

Hi Aniiigh, where did you see biochemistry on straighterline? I was checking and didn't see that offered through straighterline.

Hi guys I will also be applying to WGU soon. Almost.nurse.ts are you still working on you prerequisites?

BreeFutureBSNRN where did you take your online PE course? I'm in need of PE also.

I think your best bet is to call the board and see what they say. I do know there are Psych Tech to RN programs. You wouldn't be challenging the boards if you did it that way.

They offer accelerated science, math, and psych classes at Southern California University of Health Sciences in Whittier, Ca. Each class is 1800, and you can pay weekly. Each class is one month sat and sun from 10-7 or 8-4. They have some classes that are fri night and Saturday day. I'm not sure what the hours are for those days. Hope this helps you.

I passed my nclex a year ago. I read a little bit of the Saunders review book, did 1500 Kaplan, and 1000 Saunders questions. Make sure to do a lot of SATA questions. Goodluck to you!!

Hi cvh1576, I also challenged the boards. You should have enough to challenge the boards if you have the Med Surg, peds and pharmacology done. I didn't have a hard time finding a job afterwards. I got hired at a nursing home quickly after I got my license. Then 3 months after that I was hired at a hospital in Los Angeles, and at a home health agency. On both applications it stated that the applicant needed to have graduated from an accredited lvn program. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions. Best of luck to you!

That may help him, but I'm not sure. You should also look into homehealth.

I don't think the job market is that bad in the San Gabriel valley area. I got my lvn last summer and I got job offers from a few nursing homes on the spot. Then I was hired at a hospital after 3 months. I think it just depends on how badly you want it.

Don't be discouraged just because you didn't pass the first time. I also challenged the nclex and I didn't pass. The second time I took it and I passed. Good luck to you

One just started this month so six months from now. I spoke with another coworker who recently graduated from there. She took her prerequisites at a Jc and did the RN program through ACC. She told me the final cost was 20,000.
