Hello everyone! I start school in June and need all white shoes. My ankles roll in and have always had foot issues but was wondering if anyone has suggestions? It's difficult to find all white running shoes, without colored swooshes or other markings...I tried the all white Nike Shox they felt very unstable. Any suggestions would be helpful as its getting close to the start date!!! Thanks so much!

hello all! i have loved reading everyone elses posts!! i was accepted to a private 16mo lvn program on tuesday and am exstatic!! i thought i'd be on wait lists for the next 2-3 years for rn programs and am so happy to have this opportunity. i start june 16th and cannot wait!!! i love this site, it has been extremely helpful in decision making. congrats to all my fellow new students!!

Hello everyone, I am applying for 2 different LVN/LPN programs, one being at Western Career College and one being at Gurnink Academy of Medical Arts in Concord. WCC is $42k for 16 mo's full time and Gurnick is $22k for 14mo's part time. I don't know how that is possible, but somehow it is. WCC has a 100% passing rate for the NCLEX and Gurnick has no data available as their first graduating class is about to test. I need help deciding if the extra $20k is worth it, if anyone has any tips about these schools or having to do with the dilemma please help! Also, WCC has a bridge program to the RN and Gurnick is "trying to establish one at this time", which makes me nervous as well. Thanks for reading:banghead:

Hello everyone, I am a 26 year old student in California, who graduated from a state university a couple of years ago with a Bachelor's degree in Child Development. It wasn't until I was halfway through that program I decided I really wanted to work in Pediatrics as a nurse. I started taking my prereq's for RN programs in the area and slowly but surely I am almost done. There is one catch-the wait lists are around 3 years for the RN programs around here. I was delighted to find info about LVN/LPN programs in the area-I could be done next year and that sounds wonderful to me. I just wanted some feedback from anyone who reads this about their experience as a nurse, LVN programs, if it's a good idea to do this instead of waiting on an RN list for years..(an obvious decision, I know) but I just wanted to hear what people had to say-any info is helpful. Thanks!!
