I work at a VA facility as a RN. In my opinion the CCNE degree should supersede the non-NLNAC requirement. The VA where I work only hire BSN prepared RNs. My ADN did not matter even though I graduated from a NLNAC college. I suggest that you go ahead...

Thanks for the information. I have been a LVN since 2004. I would have been in your group if it was not for the Reading assessment test. I took if for granted and ended up having to take Read 82 last semester. I received my letter of acceptance to AD...

How was the department exam? I am assuming that you have finished the ADN20 course. I have been wondering myself what the exam may include. Sorry, that you did not get any response to your thread. I subscribed to your thread hoping to get an answer m...

CAwant2be, I recommend checking out the college web page ( http://www.saddleback.edu/hs/rn/ )for information. I have spent many hours going through the local college web pages to determine what each one requires. I'm a LVN looking for ADN. I have an...
It is usually a family member that will bring to the attention of others. I generally do not announce myself as working in the medical field. I personally would rather stay quiet about my profession/background. My experience is that sometimes you ...

I took the test today. I found it easier than expected. I used Study Guide Version 3. The test indicated version 4. I feel that the ver. 3 study guide is good enough for review. The purpose of the study guide is to help refresh your memory and give y...

Congratulation. I am taking the test in two days. I was told two days ago I was accepted into the LVN to RN program and that I need to come in right away to take the test. I have had the study guide (version 3) for a little over a month and have not ...
I agree with the majority of posts thus far. I feel that myself as well as other males on our floor sometimes get more respect than our female counterparts. I do get patients that call me "doc." I correct them and they insist on calling me doc, anywa...

Great story. I like the thought of "WHERE I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE." As a LVN I go to work with that same thought. I know that I make a difference in the lives of my patients. I am a motivated 45 y/o LVN working on my prerequisites toward ADN. I wish ...
