I just came from school today and found out from a classmates that Kaiser or any other hospital don't hire LVN/LPN, we haven't started our clinical yet and where on pre-req now and it bother me too if i'm going to continue the LVN or switch to MRI class.what is your opinion?. Nat

This is a good information specially for a student and professional who want to advance in their career. Nat:yeah: :thankya:

Wow, Isn't that a great news from a hardworker.Congratulation :biggringi :balloons: :monkeydance: Nat

Hi Sharron and Scallywags, I also going to start my LVN on Gurnick san mateo this coming May 15 and paying it thru Saliemae and they have a evening class while i'm working fulltime on my work. NCP is also good school and i'm only 3 miles away but i didn't enrol over there because they don't have a financing loan like Saliemae, they only have private loan that you have to pay within a year while you are in school. Nat

Thank for sharing Good Information about Mercola. Nat

Bump to that Nat

We have a Nursing Day in our school and 4 representative from different well known University are there for question about transfer opportunity and, somebody ask about accelerated program since it only last a year. they give some overview on how the program work and what is the requirement which they dont recommend it to anybody especially if you have a family to feed since it very fast and stressful. they even say you're not gonna have a Life with this program. Nat

That's true,they are inexpensive but the waiting list is almost a year after you finished your pre-req which mostly accept on a limited number of student around 60 or less/semester. Nat

LVN = stand for Licensed Vocational Nurse, yes you can bridged it for Nursing program which mostly school accept as long as your licensed from LVN is current or pass the Board. Nat;)

If your just thinking about it and you know that you have a heart for Nursing career.just like nike said Just do it Nat

Wow and Wow, Congratulation. You can say now , I'm proud to be a Nurse:biggringi :balloons: :biggringi Nat :biggringi

Amen to that Nat P.s Congratulation Heather on your coming Graduation day:biggringi Nat

If you will look on the forum of LVN/LPN alot of them they are frustrated too and when they found out the big help for them to get into Nursing program is through LVN/LPN they pursue it(that where i'm going this May), it's not easy but workable. my classmates last year got accepted easily in CC because she is a license LVN and she's graduating this year after only a year on the program. Nat

I would say follow your Heart desire where you think are going to be happy and beneficial not only to your family but also to community.Nursing is tough but alot of people they have a heart for it and you can't see on their face the hardship of their profession because they are happy serving other. just my 2 cent Nat

I am going to Gurnick medical academy on san mateo, ca., the cost is $18,900 if you have the pre-req A&P and they have SLM loan for 15 years. this is last semester on CC if i pass my Microbiology. Nat

CoolGramma, This is informative and encouraging, thank's for the information. I will be starting my LVN program this May, i'm almost done with my pre-req on my CC only 2 science left, A&P which i don't know if i will take it again because they offer this on my private school for LVN. Nat

I'm pretty sure this time you will pass it, take it easy.. Nat

Ann, I am also from the bayarea too and i'm thinking the same bridge that you are right now, i already inquired on Gurnick academy in san mateo and hopefully it will work-out.I' on the second year of taking my pre-req now, It's not that i don't have a patient of taking all the pre-req but, i think it will be beneficial for me to be LVN/LPN since i don't have any medical background. I will say that go for it. Nat:typing

Congratulation dude, officially Nurse

This forum is informative and the discussion is good( LVN/LPN Salary) , thank to all the good information.keep up the good work Nat:clown:

Good Job and congratualtion.:roll Nat

Celebration Time c'mon.whooHoo!!!! Nat

You can never go wrong when choosing Nursing as your career. i am 39 yrs old turning 40 on april and taking my pre-req now , am i too late for it?,nah, never.Education is not for young people only, i am not doing this to go school for myself only, i'm doing this for my kids to follow, to give them a good choices when they grow up.Like father like son or daughter. Nat

Isn't that a good news, Congratulations Nat
