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 then they added a pharm class. While doing all that...

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 like these but being asked to work as an LPN without...

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 transfer credits and if you go to for instance Kaplan wh...

Ok well I have been put through the ringer with school since I moved to CA. I have applied to every school that I've heard about. I finally get an acceptance letter and it says Congratulations your accepted but its not until Spring 2012 and it said w...

You know what I hadn't thought about saving money while I wait...totally possible. I already took the advice from another member and got into some classes. Two years is a long time and I can rack up some good credits, too bad I can't take more nurs...

Thanks for the positive input...my thoughts too on taking classes towards the BSN. I guess I'm just impatient right now. I'm so close but so far away. I'm signing up for some classes today maybe some western civ or something like that. Yeah I can...

I recently moved here from the east coast and I am looking for jobs. It's been kinda hard though, I put in several applications and only got a interview set up once. Can anyone give me a ball park figure of how much aides are paid here? Are there uni...

That's a pretty good rate for just starting out. I am working here in oceanside now at an area hospital. I'm pretty satisfied with the pay. What school are you going to?

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 and she asks me a bunch of questions about my exper...

I am a CNA now and I am 40 credits into my BSN but I have decided to go to an advanced program for the ADN just to get my foot in the door, then I will complete my BSN onto the masters but eventually I plan to become a practitioner. I hope to start ...

:confused:I have recently moved to California from the east coast. I have completed the pre req's that I need to get into Nsg school. My issue is finding a school that doesn't have insane waiting lists or unrealistic transfer polices. I really nee...

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 my degree but i'm finding out that even though I ha...

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 at all, less is your credits transfer and Kaplan h...

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 program so i'm going to check into that. Thanks for y...

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 accelerated BSN 39 months give or take less is you hav...

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 for my own education. So that's where I need help....

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 foucus on that and then quizzing yourself). Try ...

Thanks to everyone that responded. I live in Oceanside, San Diego. I had an interview last week with a hospital in the area and I was told that I have the job but they haven't checked my references yet. So now i'm just waiting to talk money. They...

I have been working the night shift for four years now and yes it could be easier depending on the facility. There will be more walking since there will be less staff, and you will have more patients however they usually sleep during the night with ...
