  1. Is it me or is hiring at Kaiser Permanente a joke?

    Gen2Nurse replied to MsBlissful's topic in Nursing Career

    I know how you feel. I was hired by an eager Department Manager with a Kaiser outpatient facility. It took 5 weeks before I actually started, meanwhile I turned down another hospital offer to go with...

    Gen2Nurse replied to fille_jolie's topic in California Nursing

    How did it go? I am interested in Kaiser as well. As a new grad myself, I was not sure if I should apply for the LVN II jobs they keep posting. How were you able to score an interview as a new grad?...

    Gen2Nurse replied to ssottal_9898's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I like your take on marketing yourself based on other skills. Do you think you could post you resume, so I could get an idea of how yours looked -- it worked afterall!! I am trying to come up with a...

  7. Does anyone have a Bachelors and still pursuing LPN??

    Gen2Nurse replied to Ling07's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nothing is wrong with it!!! You can do a lot with your LVN degree, and get your RN later if you want. I have lots of classmates that already have their Bachelors, so don't think you are alone. You...

    Gen2Nurse replied to jigzawnurse28's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My school is 26,500. It was a lot to swallow at first, but now I can see how much I am learning. It feels so great to work in a field where I can actually help people and make a difference. It is...

  9. I wish everyone would get it...let me study!!!

    Gen2Nurse posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Gen2Nurse replied to Gen2Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thank you all!! Things are much better now. I am more direct about saying NO now, and my friends/family have adjusted. I even delayed my sons birthday party by 1 month and he was fine with it. I guess...

  11. So how's everyone doing in their lpn program?

    Gen2Nurse replied to dblpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am 10 weeks in, and loving it. While it is challenging, it's also wonderful being challenged (especially after doing the Mom thing for the past 8 years). I am amazed that I have a 97% class average,...

  14. I wish everyone would get it...let me study!!!

    Gen2Nurse replied to Gen2Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You are all so right. A part of me wants to just deal with it without creating waves, and making people think they have to treat me "special". I am a people pleaser, and it goes against my nature to...

  17. Glendale Career College?Anyone going there/experience with this school?

    Gen2Nurse posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am excited to start asap, so waiting for a less expensive option is just not something I would like to do. At 26 thousand, and a NCLEX average pass rate of 77%, do you think this is a good school? I...

  18. Some Advice about your future..

    Gen2Nurse replied to TruCompassion's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think that it does count for something, and although it is not the same as a year of working somewhere full time -- it is still experience. I don't think that people are turned down soley on lack of...

  19. Some Advice about your future..

    Gen2Nurse replied to TruCompassion's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Doesn't the year of clinicals that you do through in LVN school count towards the 1 year of experience? I think your idea is a solid one. Thanks for the

  22. Accelerated LVN/LPN programs - what do you think?

    Gen2Nurse replied to vintagestudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am about to attend one that is 14 months. I am happy that it is a little longer, as this is all new to me. I hope that those two extra months help to make it a more doable pace. I couldn't imagine...

    Gen2Nurse replied to TemeculaGuy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How did you come up with the 10,000 price for north-west college? I went to the one in Glendale, and I was told that it cost 26,000. If they are only charging you 10,000. Then that is CR*P. Are they...
