    sillywilly posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Hi, I sent my application off a few weeks ago for the LVN-RN bridge at LA County College of nursing. I have not even taken the TEAS test yet, and I am already anxious about having to wait to find out...

  2. Anyone apply for LVN-RN summer enrty at LA County College of Nursing?

    sillywilly replied to sillywilly's topic in LPN to RN

    Thanks for the reply, you just made my day! I was not able to make it to the information session and was assuming that if anything, the points needed for the bridge program would be higher than the 2...

  3. Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

    sillywilly replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how many community colleges are around your area, but check to see if they all require pre-req's for the pre-req's. If you can find any that don't require them, then check with the...

  5. Culver city, Visalia or Santa Barbara

    sillywilly replied to RNHURT's topic in California Nursing

    Hi RNHURT, Sorry for the delay. 50 an hour will EASILY cover a 1 or 2 bed apartment in Culver City. I see them advertised around 800 a month. If your friend wants to work in Santa Barbara she could...

  6. Culver city, Visalia or Santa Barbara

    sillywilly replied to RNHURT's topic in California Nursing

    I would say traffic is much worse in Culver City. Its pretty much in the middle of Los Angeles, and only a few miles away from the airport so the freeways are always jammed. I went to school in Culver...

  7. am i a hypocrit?

    sillywilly replied to xoxo0414's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi, I think it's normal to feel anxious or scared about surgery. I had my tonsils removed when I was 17, and it was awful! It took me almost 3 weeks to recover. After I was healed, I felt so much...

  8. Culver city, Visalia or Santa Barbara

    sillywilly replied to RNHURT's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know where Visalia is (central CA I think??), and have no idea about the hospitals, but between Santa Barbara and Culver City I would much rather live in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara is a cute...

  9. what are jobs a new lvn can get at los angeles?

    sillywilly replied to pyocola's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I worked as a Vet Tech for years before getting my LVN license. If you don't want to deal with people, that is probably not a good career choice for you. As a Vet tech you are going to be dealing with...

  10. Is chemistry hard?

    sillywilly replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry was the WORST for me. The teacher was terrible! He had such a thick accent that no one could understand a word he said. I am bad at math, and that made it really hard for me. All of the non...

  11. have you been hired on the spot?

    sillywilly replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work at a pharmacy, and not only did they hire me on the spot (with no reference check or employment hx verification) they asked me to start working that second. I was a little thrown off...

  12. studying anyone?

    sillywilly replied to katiebry1031's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Congrats! Passing is all you can hope for with nursing school sometimes. It is so hard to balance your time in school. Yes, you always need to study because there is just so much material, but you...

  13. studying anyone?

    sillywilly replied to katiebry1031's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know you already took your test. How did it go? I usually give myself the day before a test off. I like to relax, eat a good meal, and catch up on sleep so I am ready to go the next day. If it is a...

  15. Say What??????!!!!!!!!!!

    sillywilly replied to gt4everpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just the other day I had a sweet little old man come up to me with tears in his eyes. I asked him what was wrong and he said "I am worried that if I accidentally tighten my Cpap straps too tight they...

  16. No Motivation to Study! Help!

    sillywilly replied to roemerr's topic in General Students

    I am in the same boat as you. I wish I had some advice to give, but I don't know how to get motivated either! I am taking my TEAS test on March 3rd and am so not motivated to study. I found excuses...

  17. Dealing with a toxic work environment while in school?

    sillywilly replied to nitrospeed16's topic in General Students

    The majority of Veterinarians I worked for in the past didn't know how or care to handle their stress in an effective manner and would take it out on everyone around them. He may just be stressed...

  18. Anyone else in limbo?

    sillywilly replied to girlswcurls's topic in General Students

    Hi Rubato, Not knowing how to plan is the worst part! I decided to plan as if I will get accepted, but have also come up with a plan B. I have already saved up a years worth of car payments for while...

  19. Just wanted to share my horrible interview experience

    sillywilly replied to larien37's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't even see it as a matter of burning bridges at that point. If the interview is that unprofessional, just imagine what you would have to put up with working with him. Sometimes it is just not...

  20. Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

    sillywilly replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone, I am waiting for my letter too. They won't get mailed out until May 15th, and then class starts a whole 2 weeks later on June 1st! Not much time to prepare if I get accepted. I am a real...

  21. Just wanted to share my horrible interview experience

    sillywilly replied to larien37's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Stay clear of that place. I can not believe how unprofessional people are. I love the barn story! My worst interview was at a clinic. The Dr took me in an exam room to interview me, and pulled out my...

  22. stressing- how do you pay for nursing school

    sillywilly replied to CNA2day's topic in General Students

    You can move into a cheaper place to save money while you are in school. Either get a studio apartment or just rent a room from someone. You may be able to find rooms for rent with all of the...

  23. Anyone else in limbo?

    sillywilly replied to girlswcurls's topic in General Students

    Yes, I'm in the same boat. Im taking the TEAS test on March 3rd. They will mail out acceptance letters May 15th and class starts in June. A whole 2 weeks of notice before possibly (hopefully) starting...

    sillywilly replied to aka640's topic in TEAS Exam Help
