Has anyone ever missed your scheduled nclex exam due to circumstances that were out of your control? i.e. traffic or anything else? This happened to me and I'm having a hard time getting another test date.

Has anyone applied to the Galen Institute of health(San Antonio) for their LVN to ADN program? The first class just started and I was curious of what the application and selection process was like?

Hey Dave! Have you heard anything from Galen? I applied for their Jan class but haven't heard anything yet.

Your not too old!! 2005 i graudated LVN school with a husband and wife in their 50's. The both just got their ADN in Dec 2007! Go For It!!

More opportunities. I work @ a nursing home and I do love it.BUT....i stay here because this is where LVNs get paid the most. I want to get my RN so i can choose whatever i want to do!

Hello all!! I just took on a charge nurse position (LVN) on an Alzheimer's unit @ a LTC. Anyone have any good ideas for activities for these folks? We do have an activity director for this unit but apparently she's not very enthusiastic about her job...

Thanks for sharing that.. I'm going to print it out for my unit!

Thank you all for ypur replies! Yes she did get the job because she knew somebody..And we can tell her heart's not into the job. These are some good ideas..I really appreciate the impute.

Thanks for replying....I spent the day at the BON today. I did pay the $200 a few weeks ago but Pearsonvue never told me I had to contact my BON. After I waited 3 weeks for another ATT letter, I called and then they told me they can't do anything unt...

I had a backpack last semester. Quite a few students used one of those carry on suitcases with the wheels. That's what I'm going to get for next semester!

How about some websites for schools that offer online LPN to ADN degrees?! Thanks

Hello all! I am waiting on my packet of info from Excelsior. I am curious, does anyone know of any CPNE sites in Texas? Preferably San Antonio or Austin? Thanks in advance!

Hi! I believe there is hope for you! A few were put on probation in my class. The ones that really tried extra hard and let the instructor know they were putting in extra effort did pass! The other one apparently wasn't concerned with her probation...

I have a question. I have been thinking about excelsior for my ADN. Where can you do your clinicals?

Please keep us posted on how the program is going for all of you who are in it. I am currently in a LVN program and this sounds perfect for me to continue on to my ADN. >

Try St. Philips College. They have an LVN program. You just need to take an entrance exam. http://www.accd.edu/spc

Math is my problem too. If you can, try to take this alone or with only one other class because every math instructor I had think that THEIRS is the only class that matters. Meaning lots of homework, quizes and tests. Check your Math lab for free t...

2 semesters. I took the class years ago and dropped it. At that time it was only one semester. I guess they finally realized that there was just too much information to be covered in one semester and broke it down into 2. I can absorb it all now!

Hello.....I work in San MArcos. (not in the medical field) If you chose to live in San MArcos, Austin would not be that long of a commute for you. Kyle and Buda are just booming with new houses right now. If you decide to live in SAn MArcos, New Brau...

Hello! I live right outside of San Antonio and I'm going to school there. There are LOTS of hospitals to choose from in that city. As far as being the best, I'm not sure about that. I have a class with 2 people that are aids at Northeast Methodist...

I definitely do not think LPN school will be a waste of your time! Have you noticed our economy?!? Lay offs every where. No one is hiring. LPN's or RN's will always be in demand. For me, I'm going to LPN school to provide for my family. One day I ...

Hello.... I posted a similar situation the other day, so I know exactly how you feel. My GPA is a 2.1 because of some bad grades previously. One in particular is math. I took it once and got an incomplete and then had to take it again and got a C. ...
