Hey NICUrn28! I heard you pass the NCLEX at 85. Congratulations on your future endeavors. Pnemann- Well said. I concur with everything. The policy kept changing as we went along, so much so that the nursing boards were doing an investation. It went on for months and I even recall another one of my classmates sueing the school. dkeophil- do you work for gurnick? If so, I feel sorry for you as many administrators/teachers left. (7 to be exact during my 14 months) If not, Im assuming when you say that you "graduated" on christmas eve, that means that you have passed your classes and prepping for the hesi. If so, maybe you should spend your time wisely and go visit the other forums in regards to hesi study tips instead of going to all the other threads lying about gurnick. There's no need to go back and forth about whether the school is good or not. All this information can be easily assess through the LVN boards. Study tip #1. Use you own advice: Learn not to go with the word "ONLY". This is an absolute word and it is highly unlikely to be the answer. Study tip #2. Read the question carefully. Its pretty evident that your grammer is the same as Larissa's. Good luck on HESI. Like everyone else, I graduated and its a closed chapter in my life that I will never open!

That sounds like Gurnick SM.

We take our HESI through EVOLVE and I was wondering if our test can be re-scored if you find a mistake?

Can you challenge phase 1 test without taking the TCN review? Just the test itself?

I have met a TCN advisor today. I'm very thankful for this thread. Is it true that excelsior is not recognized in California? If not, how do i go about this?

Is Eillen the instructor? How was it?

Heehee! Snail mail! I was wondering if you pass, can you drive to sacramento and request for the license?

I will be taking my nclex soon! What items are we allowed to bring with us during the boards? What items are not allowed? (id, pens, paper, calculator etc)

It is very possible! I work 40 hours graveyard (10 hour shifts). 5 days school. (Lecture 3 days a week and 2 days at clinicals.) I'm 3 weeks away from graduating and it's well worth it. About 70% of my classmates work graveyards so we have a little support group. I do most of my studying and homework at work during downtime. Good luck

60 Miles one way, 2 bridges, $4 toll each way. I don't know what I was thinking!

Thanks for the info. I know there's been a hiring freeze, but I assume by now...it all worked out and your employed??? What are the pre-req's?

How much is the WCC program?

As a pharmacy tech, I completely concur. At our hospital, you waste the medication with a witness. If it's sealed, you can put the medication back. NEVER is the drug returned to the medication bin as anyone can walk in. If it's absolutely necessary, go to the pharmacy and manually check it back in. Save your license because if anything happens, we can easily pull it up a full detailed report of who, what, when etc

WOW! Really? I was considering Unitek, is there another school in the bay area (lvn to rn). That actually sounds like Gurnick LVN program

Im a student at Gurnick SM (1 more month to go). Let's just say that every subject there's a new teacher. It's not fun being a geniune pig
