That's great you are changing careers. Same thing for me. I'm 27. I got my bachelor's degree a few yrs ago in Communications & Business, but I just got sick of working at office jobs not making that much money or advancing. A lot of people we...
Lol, wow you have a bigger culture shock than me! Humidity is the worst. I used to live in Chicago so I still remember the gross feeling of sweating like crazy right after taking a shower! Are you coming back to CA after you're done w/ school? Ho...
Thank you all for the encouraging words. That's so funny what you said Daytonight- I have an HC box for a mailbox. I think it means highway contractor or something I am trying to adapt to the change as best I can. I think it's just hard right no...
Thanks Mami, the people in my class are okay, but it seems like everyone is so gossipy. I talk to people at school, but I feel like I need to keep a little distance until I know who I can trust. Thank you for the encouragement though!
About 6 weeks ago I moved from the San Francisco bay area 8 hours south to the desert because I got accepted to an LVN program here. It's so competitive where I am from, so I was just happy to get accepted somewhere. I knew before I moved that it w...
Hi everyone. I just finished my 5th week of nursing school. My school goes 11 months. It's been very stressful for me. Most of the people here are locals. I relocated 8 hrs from home to go to school in a rural area, since it's more competitive i...

When I called them they said that there was never a waitlist, so either that means there are not a lot of people that apply, or they just don't keep the applications on file. I am really hoping to get in. I am sure there are some nice areas closeby...

I am sending out my application this month. Do you live in the area? I live in the bay area and am a little bit nervous about moving to the desert if I get in, but I will do it to finish school sooner :) Their LVN program is only 11 months compared...

Thank you for the info. I know RNs can do more than LVNs, at least in CA where I live, but I got excited at the idea of traveling as an LVN. Guess it's too good to be true!:uhoh21:
I am planning to attend an LVN program - well whichever one I am lucky enough to get into!- and I wondered if LVNs can be travel nurses like RNs? I didn't think so, but my grandma's nurse (who is an LVN) said that she used to go on assignments in di...
Has anyone attended this LVN program? I am planning to apply for the spring semester. I currently live in the bay area so I don't know the Palm Springs/ San Bernadino area at all, so I am trying to get more information about the school and the area...
