I have been in the health care field since high school. My goal has always to go to nursing school get my BSN work for a while and maybe get my masters degree. I have two kids and we have just moved from the east to the west coast.
I'm thinking about taking the 30 unit option. Seems like every time I finish a class with the hopes of getting into the program they change the requirements. First I had to take another math class...
In some states they do have what is called a Med Tech which you do all the same things as a nurse but you still have to be trained and certified to do so. I know of a few facilities who offer jobs...
Anything accelerated or going to a private school will always cost more because they can charge whatever they want basically...be careful of which programs you choose to go to because you can't...

Hi all! So I finally got a job at an area hospital as an ACT and orientation is long as usual. The pay is actually pretty good and I feel like I will like the working there. I met with my manager...
Thanks for responding to my dilemas:up: I have been doing a little research and did find two schools with no wait lists in CA, WCU is accelerated for the BSN 39 months if you don't have any schooling...
From what i'm told the LPN is not a credit based program, you don't earn a degree just a diploma so i'm not really sure how that works but I will ask. I found out that Kaplan has the LPN and ADN...
I was initially looking for an LPN program and came across this one. Don't really know if you're looking for a RN program but just talked to someone at West Coast Univ. (3 locations) they have a...
I am a pre nursing student going towards my BSN i'm 40 credits and have done my pre reqs and this year my family had to move to San Diego. I was hoping to be able to enroll into a school and finish...
Maybe you're just not a good test taker. It sounds like you are studying too much. Try a different approach in your studying skills like reading it aloud or in blocks (taking out a section at a time...
My boyfriends mom would like to become a CNA and I can't really give advice as to where to go to get certified because I just moved to the San Diego area myself and honestly I don't know where to go...
