you can always check the rating for the facility you're applying too. also, during the interview, you can find out the management style and what type of people work there to gauge the dynamics. there are questions to ask on monster.com that can help find this out. gluck

Hello, I just finished and got certified this month. Dont be scared but dont be over-confident. during clinicals, ask questions. they dont let you do anything unless you're comfortable with it. always remember the most important thing is the comfort and safety of the residents during clinicals. As for the state exam, practice, practice, practice! ! ! the proctors are not there to make you fail. they are there to make sure you know what you're doing. remember key points for every skill. ex. ambulating = non skid soles and orthostatic hypotension. you'll be okay, make sure you dont rush any of the skills tests. breathe and focus. always keep in mind comfort and safety! ! good luck! ! you can do this! ! !

Hi Nessie, thanks for your reply! im confused as to either take an LVN program then an RN program or should i just go straight to an rn program? i really enjoyed my clinicals. seeing the bright and appreciated faces of the residents. i always went home very proud to have made a difference in someone's day. very gratifying! Good luck on accounting. I loved it too! It's just hard to find jobs in that field right now with all the businesses closing. I'm actually thinking that someday i will use accounting and nursing and start a business. =)

I have an associates degree in accounting and recently too a cna program. I am now a certified nursing assistant. i'm thinking of pursuing nursing. i dont really know where to go from here. can someone give me some information? I'm in california.
