I'm a student nurse at the VA and they hire LVNs. I heard its hard to get in though.

My professor always say stuff like "Look it up." I was talking to her later and I told her that some ppl were taking it badly. She said that the reason she makes you look it up is that you remember something you have to work to look up. She also said that she is trying to teach us to be independent so we will be able to work without relying on other ppl to help us. Make sure you read ahead before you go to class. That way if you have a question you can ask. Don't be intimidated. If you feel more comfortable, ask your study partners. That is who I usually go to 1st if I have a question. If they don't know, I would then go to the teacher. If it is something other students can't answer then it is a valid question your prof needs to answer. If you have another prof you can go to to ask questions, use them. Most teachers like to help. You can also record lectures so you can listen to them again so in case you miss something you don't have to ask. Your prof can't fail you for no reason. If you do your work and pass your test you will graduate. Just look at this as a temporary situation. Focus on passing your tests, and let karma take care of your nasty prof.

I took the HESI at El Centro and did really well even though I havent had anp2 yet. The day I went I was kinda freaked out by all these people in the hall with study guides and text books. I didnt do any studying for it and was fine. The anatomy and physiology part was the hardest for me. It was all actually anatomy questions no physiology questions though. At the end of the test you can print out your score sheet and the review of each section you took. The review will tell you what questions number you missed and what topic was. PRINT OUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN! most people dont realize they can. There is alot of good info, including testing tips you can print. I recommend taking the test once for practice, just to get a feel for it. Here are some of the topics that were on the test: MATH SECTION: fraction to ratio, meter to km, milliliters to liters, multiply fractions, ounces to gallons, ounces to pints, percentages, ratio percentages, roman numerals. CHEM: amino acids carboxyl amino, buffer, description of matter, dilution calculation, hydrochloric acid, solution calculation, viscosity. As far as the reading and vocab parts go, the test reminded me of the TAAS Test. They just give you a short story and you answer questions from it. Good luck on your test! I hope this helped!

El Centro gets over 200 applicants for only 30 spots. Grayson gets about 450 applicants for the RN program for 70 or 80 slots. Im not sure how many applied for the LVN program. I have been concidering both schools as well. Anybody know Graysons pass rate? I heard it's really bad but im not sure if that is just a rumor.

Does Grayson have LVN programs start in both spring and fall? Anybody know how many applicants? What was the lowest points accepted into the program?
