I am so happy to hear this. So an exterminator and window washer work harder than a nurse in an ICU, REHAB or Ortho? I highly doubt that. I know a nurse who tore her rotator cuff because she had to act quickly. Her client who had a CVA started to vomit while on his back. If she hadn't quickly turned him, he would have aspirated. 10 years later, she still suffers with shoulder damage and pain. So please NY, don't say that nursing is not physically more demanding than exterminator and window washing!! This is just one of many stories, I am sure.

Pacific Union in Napa area is supposed to take Excelsior courses. Contact (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME). That is, f you want to move. I moved back to Cali and had to drop Excelsior, even though I took all classes minus the CPNE. I wish California took grads cuz I would go back and due the CPNE.

Nope, not for me. A lady that was handling my application with the BVNPT suddenly retired and didn't finish my application. I am still working as an LVN though.

Is this program coming back anytime soon? Nobody seems to know anything, even the admissions people!

I've been in touch with someone at U of P and it sounds like the program is not currently active. I am looking into Pacific Union out of Napa. Let me know it you hear of any programs.

Can you tell me how difficult the ACT is? And is it just English portion? Hope all is well with the program. Guess you are attending Travis AFB location?

Can anyone tell me how long it takes to get notification of acceptance or denial for Pacific Union? I applied a little over a month ago to the LVN to RN program. I am wondering how long it will be before I hear. I am waiting on pins and needles!

Thank you for the comment. I sent my application out last week. I may ask you more questions in the future if you don't mind...

I have a great GPA but not a great tester. I appreciate your response. I better study up if I want to get accepted, huh?

Can you tell me if you have to take ACT and TEAS before you apply? How are you liking it so far? I live in Vallejo and have been seeking out this program since I lived back in NC. It seems like the perfect program for working adults. I did not do well on the originally TEAS so I need to ramp up for the ATI TEAS. Any information you can provide would be most appreciated!

Starting out in Skilled nursing, aka SNIF seems to be a good start for many nurses I know. Just a thought...

That's what I was thinking...I have heard this all too often. If you are too good, they block you from leaving. Eventually, people get frustrated and just move on. I would go to HR.

Hi, This is a year late. But, I just moved to the area in December. I work for City of SF Behavioral Health as a LVN. I hear UCSG Langley Porter is a great place and doe fine work helping the mentally ill. I may moonlight there. Good luck!

University of Phoenix? I need an LVN to RN or LVN to BSN. I just started supervisory job with City of SF.

And, can anyone share the prereqs or admissions checklist?

Can you clarify if BOTH Modesto and Sacramento have the LVN to BSN program? I keep hearing different things.

I like that. I will use it if I ever have to.

Yes, the question was for you. I heard a lo of wisdom and experience in your suggestions. I figured you must have had a lot of well-rounded career experience. Thank you for sharing!

Damn, you're good! Are you in management? You could be a counselor!

I worked as a psych tech in a hospital. A male and female nurse brought charges against a violent patient. Most patients have enough knowledge to know right from wrong when they are not having a psychotic episode. I also have a nurse friend whose wife is permanently disable from a patient who came in for medical reasons. He was having a delerium episode and PTSD. He attacked her and broke her back. She sued the hospital and one due to lack of support and safety issues.

What is the reactivation notice? I was wondering when I applied...

Well, I moved back to CA in December. It took me 2.5 months to find a job. It was super low paying LVN job, but it was the only one who responded. I had to walk in the door to apply. This is the Inland Empire area where there are tons of people and lots of LVN schools. Now that I have been here 7 months, other opportunities are starting to present themselves but it was very hard at first. I see more opportunities and sign on bonuses up north.

Agreed...what they said...you did fine.

Does anyone know roughly how much Glendale Adventist pays? Looking for a 12 hour position in mental health.
