  1. Brightwood ADN July 2018 start

    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.
  2. LVN's Salary in California

    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...
  3. 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 program...
  4. Pre-requisites help with WGU

    Hi Aniiigh, where did you see biochemistry on straighterline? I was checking and didn't see that offered through straighterline.
  5. Wgu prelicensure August 2017 California cohort

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

    BreeFutureBSNRN where did you take your online PE course? I'm in need of PE also.
  7. 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.
  8. Accelerated Microbiology course

    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 ...
  9. 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!!
  10. Challenging the LVN Board

    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...
  11. LPN moving to California and job market

    That may help him, but I'm not sure. You should also look into homehealth.
  12. LPN moving to California and job market

    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 wa...
  13. 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
  14. American Career College ADN

    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.
  15. American Career College ADN

    The program is offered every six months.
  16. American Career College ADN

    I'm not in the program but I also went to the info session. Classes are either 2 or 3 days a week. I have a coworker in the program and she has only said good things about it.
  17. How much do you make 2016

    My first job as a new lvn in a ltc facility I was paid 23. Now I work at hospital in Los Angeles and I'm making a little over 25.
  18. LVN at los angeles job corps

    Has anyone attended the lvn job corps program in los angeles. If you have can you provide me with some information about the program.
  19. I like the hours in a nursing home, because you can work 7 to 3 or 3 to 11, but the pay at a hospital is better. It depends on if the hospital needs you, how many days you will work. At the least you will get 1 day a week. Maybe you should look in...
  20. CNA vs CMA in California, Help! ( Please?) :)

    If I were you I would forget both and do the lvn. If your really looking to invest in your future that would be the best. MA and cna makes less than lvn but MA's do about the same work. Also if you worked in a clinic as a lvn you would be doing the s...
  21. Helping my wife look for classes?

    The difference between an lvn and an rn is that rns are more of a supervisor. They are responsible for delivering, planning, and managing patient care in an acute or specialty settings. Lvns give medications change wound dressing give meds some start...
  22. Anything over 300 is way to much to pay for a cna class. Go to an adult school or community college. Its just as easy to get in as any other place. Also for a cpr card you can go to your local hospital pay 50 dollars for the next available class. Als...
  23. I had a phone interview, and I was asked how my previous employer would rate me as an employee. Why did I quit that job. What was one of my best days there, and what was one of my hardest. If there was one thing that would make me take a stand what w...
  24. The first person was right you end up making between 16 and, 23 an hour. Most nursing homes start you off at 10 dollars if you don't have any experience. You should try and look into registry work, I hear there is decent pay in that about $16 dollars...
  25. LVN Jobs in So. Cal

    Alot of the LVN's I worked with at a convalescent home in los angeles worked at the VA hospital close to westwood Maybe you should try there. They had also started working there after just graduating.
