I graduated and LVN program in December of 2008. All throughout the program, I worked full time as a CNA, and then in October of 2008, I got layed off due to "budget cuts"(I was working at a research center). Anyhow, while I was unemployed, I looke...

I went to a community college for LVN program. I didn't have to pay anything because I got financial aid, but the whole program was less than$5,000, and I got better education and clinical sites then the private schools.

That is exactly what I am saying! My former classmates who were CNA's at their jobs, now work as LVN's at their jobs. And the one's who didn't have a job as a CNA at a facility, are struggling to find a job as an LVN.

Let's face it, there are GERMS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! No matter what we do, we cannot get rid of them. I like the one point someone made about family members who visit their loved ones who have droplet or contact precautions..most of those patients have...

No..I am saying for LPN/LVN students who have their CNA certificate, to look for a job as CNA at a facitility where they hire LVN's a couple of months before graduating. That way your chances of getting hired at that facility are much better then ha...

If the year of clinicals was counted towards experience, most new graduates wouldnt' get turned down for jobs. Clinicals don't really count with most places.

Congrats LVBABYHUMAN

Thank you guys...feels good!

Another testimony...PEARSONVUE TRICK IS REALLY TRUE. I got my results today, and I passed!!!!!!!!!!

A total of 41 days for me..I got my results today and I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called the boards today also, and they said my results were mailed out yesterday. I took my test on the 19th of March, so we will see!

So if they are still working on 18th results, how are they going to be able to mail out the results from the 23rd this week? Seem's like a stretch to me.

So her post about getting to the cc page after receiving her passing results was totally irrelevant from the trick...lol..why would anyone try to register again after passing? Doesn't make sense.

In my LVN program, we had to take the ATI test just to see how we would do. Our nursing director said that if we got 75% or lower, she would hold off on sending our applications until we showed proof that we signed up for a refresher course. Well, ...

LOL MikePRN, I just realized you made a nursing diagnosis. My old classmates and I used to apply nursing diagnosis to everyday life when we were in nursing school.

Ok, so on April 16th it wouldn't let you register? So what exact day did it let you go to the cc page? Strange?

LVBabyHuman and MikePRN, im guessing that my friend at this other person put in the wrong information? Im not sure..it doesn't make sense to me. Everybody on this post who has not been able to register has passed, and everyone who has gotten to the...

Did you take PN or RN, and when? Same thing happened to my friend who took NCLEX-PN, let her go to cc page, she put in all of her info, but it wouldn't accept it, and she did pass. Really strange!

It's only been two weeks..remember that..it takes a lil while to figure out your routine. Ask for help, you cannot lift patients on your own. Remember that you only have one back. Working in an LTC is very hard work, but think about it, if you do ...

This thread gives people some hope, helps them calm their anxiety. Nothing wrong with that.

LVBABYHUMAN, you took the NCLEX-PN March 20th right? I took mine on the 19th of March, still no results. I hopeing we will get our results by the end of the week. My friend took hers March 12 and got her results April 16th...so we will see.

https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/waiting-nclex-results-174503.html Go to this thread, it will ease your anxiety. Anyhow, you are experiencing what everyone feels after taking the boards..anxiety! It will take you a couple of days to get...

if you actually read every post from that thread you will see that everyone who has been able to proceed onto the payment section has failed. I think there was one incident where someone was not able to register but they failed..supposedly they had ...

This is the week I should be getting my results...I took the test March 19th. I know the boards are a little behind, but every time I open my mail box, my heart drops. Anyhow, I have tried this trick many times and have been getting that "hopeful m...

Yes, nurses are portrayed horribly in the media. Nursing is very stressful, and take a really strong person to survive in this profession. I wish the media would show the abuse that nurses go through..mental, physical, verbal and even sexual abuse....
