  1. 30 Unit Option - California LVNS

    frankiebaby replied to NurseGiaCA's topic in California Nursing

    I too wanted to do the 30 Unit Option but for a different reason. Simply because I saw it as the fastest way to go from LVN to RN. Here's what I found out, some of which you may already know. If you...

  2. How do you do it.....LPN to RN bridge

    frankiebaby replied to BjSkyGGEvan's topic in LPN to RN

    I work anywhere from 2-4 shifts per week and get along in school just fine. I'm the only LVN in my RN program (advanced placement), the rest of the students are straight RN students. While I do have...

  3. Feedback on NCP Vocational School in South San Francisco

    frankiebaby replied to Hanna0225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hanna, Sounds like you've put a lot of thought into your decision. NCP is a good school, and everyone there works hard to help students succeed. One thing that I've heard that's changed since I...

  4. Feedback on NCP Vocational School in South San Francisco

    frankiebaby replied to Hanna0225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went there in 2005 and overall found it to be a pretty good school. I know that 100% of my fellow graduates that took the NCLEX, passed on their first attempt. But that said, there are some...

  5. My question is: Why are nurses so mean to each other?

    frankiebaby replied to LadyJRN1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry to have to point out that if you behave at your place of work as you do here on allnurses.com, then you have been deserving of ill-will and negativity. You have to offer respect in order to...

  6. Narcotic discrepancy

    frankiebaby replied to catlynLPN's topic in General Nursing

    While Valium is not technically a narcotic, it does have high abuse potential, and it is a drug that is frequently diverted. I'm sorry this happened to you and thank goodness that you noticed that...

  7. Communication class needed for license?

    frankiebaby replied to Caratzas66's topic in California Nursing

    Many 4 year colleges do not require a speech or communication classes, so it is possible that although you have a Bachelor's Degree, you will still have to satisfy the CA requirement. I have an...

  8. Am I crazy? -- ADN over Master's Entry program?

    frankiebaby replied to RNn2010's topic in Post Graduate Students

    (If someone's already mentioned this, forgive me!) You're not crazy, you're a genius! Not only will you become an RN debt-free, but once you start working you'll find that many hospitals have tuition...

  9. Fired within hours of being hired

    frankiebaby replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no! I used to work in addiction nursing and we would randomly urine test clients 1x month. When they couldn't go we would just park them by the water cooler and have them drink H20 for an hour or...

  10. 265 questions on nclex bad or good?

    frankiebaby replied to surgeryrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know if this is true or not, but I've heard that some test-takers are randomly given the full 265 questions to take. If it's true, how much does that suck? Good

  11. Slightly Discouraged

    frankiebaby replied to CAPA2008's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with the previous poster - meet with your instructor ASAP and discuss ways to improve your test-taking skills and/or ways to study better. That said, when I first started LVN school (I'm in an...

  12. input on LVN from trade school to ADN/BSN - PLEASE HELP!

    frankiebaby replied to mk21's topic in California Nursing

    I did my LVN at a private vocational school, but I did all my pre-reqs at Community Colleges. I did them before I started LVN school. They were accepted at the vocational school and if I had done them...

  13. NCSBN's Reviews for NCLEX?

    frankiebaby replied to Jules A's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did the NCSBN's online review before I took my LVN boards (passed with 85 questions). I studied everything - Kaplan, Saunders, ATI...and in my opinion the NCSBN online review is the closest thing to...
