Happened to stumble upon your post and as I was reading it I thought you were going to say you were quitting altogether... I am so happy that not only are you going to continue, but that you will be in a classroom with peers, because it sounds like y...

Aww phooey! I am checking this thread from my phone because I'm still at work, was hoping one of you would have posted saying you got a letter! Okay, one more week, I can deal with that :/

Thanks Studionurse! I feel the same way you feel, would rather go to County... but I'm right at that cutoff so if I don't make it I need to have a backup plan.

Hey all! 16th of April... The end of the month is taking forever to get here :/ @lovetosleep... go back to sleep and find out if my name is on that stolen list!

I've been reading some old posts from people who applied (and got accepted) in 2010 and earlier... some of these posts said they found out they got accepted via a PHONE CALL! Does anyone know anything about this? Phone call, letter, email, I don't c...
Taking the test tomorrow and studying right now... I took it last year and failed by three measly questions. And yes, I remember thinking "there has to be a mistake, they gave me the RN test!" Actually, there were some questions where I thought the...
45 here and just submitted my application for an LVN-RN program! When I made a career change at 42 and went for my LVN, I told myself I would stop at my RN. Now that I'm used to juggling this chaotic life of work and studying and family, I think I ...

I didn't take the combined class, but I did have Haas for Physiology (by itself) last Fall and he was awesome. Really broke down the material so you could understand it. Probably one of the best instructors I've had so far!
So it's almost 2am and I can't sleep because.... I start my first nursing job today! I took my NCLEX last November, passed, got my license... and then found out how hard it was for a new grad to get a job. I was literally driving all over the Los An...
I've got a question directed towards students who are in any of the Los Angeles Community Colleges: Did you take Micro 1 or Micro 20? Microbiology 1 is Introductory Microbiology and is FIVE units. Microbiology 20 is General Microbiology and is FOUR u...
$32,000 may seem like a lot, but for an RN program it's one of the best priced private school programs I've heard of. Some schools are charging $29K for an LVN program! I would do it if I lived closer.
My friend just took her NCLEX last month in another state. We graduated from an LVN program here in California, then she moved to Texas. She ended up taking her test at a Pearson-Vue in Waco. BUT, her results were sent to the California Board. Sh...
Before you even start thinking about the nursing program, you need to get the pre-reqs out of the way, like physiology, anatomy and microbiology, plus other general ed classes. Since school is starting pretty soon, you might want to start checking o...
Back when I was a little girl I wanted to be a nurse.... but then as I got older I realized that I got grossed out easily and figured that nursing was not for me. And so I went into business. Fast forward 20 years later and here I am, a new graduat...
@caffeineaddict: congratulations on getting into LAHC! Cool, I'm an LVN too and I was wondering what my odds were of getting into an RN program. Good to know there was no wait for you! @tobyboy: If you're in downtown L.A., have you looked at LA Tra...

I'm enrolled to take my first science course at LASC. Sure it's not the BEST area but just to get into a physiology or microbiology class anywhere in L.A. is hard because they fill up so fast! I kinda feel that way about the nursing program too... ...
