Is this a 100 percent online lvn school?

Im a cna and you can tell the difference before swallowing any meds or vitimins. I was diagnosed with adhd as a child. Even nurses on the job have asked me,so I caved in and got a prescription. I dont take it often and now been off it for 4 months since I'm job hunting due to possible drug tests....I don't know how anyone can like the stuff,but those with actual adhd know how beneficial it is. I would just skip the job and apply elsewhere.

I wanna know too?

True about lvns.... ADN your state must be better. Texas is a awful unforgiving state. I can't even do ADN. I may have to be in debt forever no way out.

This is true,but I was told even if I was a lvn they still wouldn't let me be a Rn.

I agree it should be illegal. I called another university in another state...same issue stupid el centro college labeled Fs when it should be Ws.

I wanted to be a nurse for over 15 years. I'm a cna who finally got a liberal arts degree last year in May. I switched my majors due to many hours working nearly daily as a low wage cna with rent ect. I withdrew from dcccd A&P classes twice in the year 2014.... I learned recently that when trying to apply at Dallas nursing institute for RN....instead of puting W they put F twice! I called the dean...well was told thats who I'm suppose to talk to and she wants me to prove I withdrew in the year 2014......after hanging up I couldn't help,but to cry. No Rn problem will accept me....except West cost university....which cost 6 figures. Im low income,no family,no boyfriend or husband,no friends who could help....just me myself and I. I don't know what else to do. Any advice and no I don't have a interest in lvn. I'm hearing at west coast you have to come up with monthly payments...there have been times I can't feed myself due to high rent. I want to be a nurse so badly,but...

That's why we have 100% turn over rates,low pay plus your nurse don't want help. I know several CNAs now much happier at Wal-Mart plus they give raises. Articles coming out of CNA shortage low pay and sorry nurses who see your busy,but won't answer a call light. Now I'm seeing nurses forced to do CNA work because they have a hard time hiring ....nurses went to school to pass meds and sit smh. I can't stand nurses...

I'm tired of being a slave to lazy nurses

Thanks a lot, I got confused and lost on the next move!

wow......Rns are popular:stone

I mean anywhere in the USA? And is it true you get to travel?

Its raining now, I live in Fort Lauderdale, Plantation area. I do have a HHA paper, problem is people are either hiring some LPNs or many Rn's and a decent amount of CNA's.........HHA's was a huge mistake and a waste of money. The school I go to is in Maimi andmost people there live close by, no one in my class is from my area. Plus I know even if they did I would feel so bad to ask for a ride to get there and can't pay for their gas at least. But counseling center............how much do they cost? I only have 20.00 in my name. Like I needed to go to the doctor last month but just stick it out, and am ok now though. And your right I do need to take steps I am rushing because I want out. But rushing is making things worse I believe, and don't worry I am glad you are sharing your advice and your not belittling me.

More education...........meaning become a RN? Or something else?

I should become a RN later..........but what about the LPNs?

lol! I hope the economy gets back up soon!!

9th grade or 10 grade math...omg. But good for you!! I know you were glad its over...finishing LPN school is truly amazing!

Remedial classes really do help....should of seen my typing/writing in the past! Right now am in my first college level English. I wonder how the job outlook is for CNAs because that would be over great if I could get a job as one and move out. Are there any good sites to prepare myself?

*Speechless.........

Thats highly shocking!! I read in the news paper last month of the shortageof Rns!! And thats very creepy, tons of Rns and no one to help! I don't know what to think!!

This is all really bad, but hopefully the USA as a whole will someday get back in order. Also thanks for answering. I did go for counseling at my school and it requires a fee and am super broke at the time. I do plan on getting help later. I am in a English class now.....reason I want to leave college now is because my school is far and my mom is attending too and agreed to drive me with her, now that she is once again angry at me and life too she may not take me and then they may kick me out of college. So I found a LPN school thats much closer so I won't have to depend on her.But I see what you mean...........light buld just flashed:idea:, college would be helpful for the LPN exam, but I wonder how the interest test is. I know math is on it but which level of math, is it tenth grade math? Also do you have an idea of which state is doing well for LPns hiring wise?

I was searching through this site for advice, and noticed a few times that LPNs have a hard time finding work!!! Someone even said that the shortage really means a shortage of Rns, but we have plenlty of HHA's CNAs and LPNs...just not LPNs! So should I and others just give of the dream? Since all that schooling will have everyone but Rn's at Mc Donalds working for income??

*Before I began please excuse my typing skills and grammer. *You may skip most of this if its too much to read. * Bold letters means the topic of this part of the post. *BELIEVING LPN IS THE CAREER FOR ME* Right now am 21 years old and never had a grand or ok life. I have decided as of today to go and try my best to be a LPN. I don't mind taking care of others and even though life has not been great for me I still have a caring heart. I also like the idea of feeling safe knowing that nursing will always be needed. *WHY I AM IN A RUSH TO BECOME ONE* I live with family, one single parent, a 14 year old and a 3 year old and last a 15 year old. I have grown up fatherless, one who cares less about me and only seen me twice in his life because I searched for him, all of my step fathers (four) were rude and/or abusive to my mom and me, I had it even worse in middle school, the out cast of the public system. Kids picked on me, threw things at me......which made me mute and in turn teachers have me down as slow ect. My mom herself has a huge anger problem people have seen in the public eye. he has kicked down my whole door off over something very small, she has called me names from the bible like B@stard or a b ect. and ugly, but when she is calm we get a long.........now that she had a child later on she feels its my job to watch her as she works or have fun. This is why I need to be out of her by next year, the whole family has problems and its more to it, but don't want to type for hours. *COLLEGE PROBLEMS* At the moment am in college...shocking yes:imbar I am still trying to get my aide together so they want drop my classes again, I have appeal to bring............I dropped three claases one term out of depression because of family. I hope they give me one more chance........problem is I need to get my aide back and drop out of college and go straight to LPN school. Now if I get my aide it may go straight to paying for my classes and then I have to stay there another term missing out of LPN school................what should I do?? *FEW QUESTIONS* 1) Is the interest test really that hard? 2) My math is 5th grade level, my grammer typing skills...as you can see is very low. Do I still stand a chance of passing the interest test? 3) I heard LPN school itself is hard, but ready to give it all I got or am stuck in this family and have other means of getting out of it forever if I fail...........but how hard is hard? What subjects do you study? 4) How do LPNs find work? Is it kinda tough since everyone these days are having a hard time finding work (like myself) and being laid off? 5) What are the best states to work as a LPN? I live in FLorida 6) Please offer any advice you have to offer. *IN NEED OF COMFORTING* What can I do to ease my mind about failing? The interest test and the final LPN test? *Sorry for such a long post!

You are right and thanks and I will

Thats odd and you passed nursing, maybe you were more relaxed?? But nice!! lol those words never seen in my life!
