Sent August 27, got the real license September 28.

"So what do you do?" "Im a nurse." "Nice..." Problem solved. Most ppl I know dont know the difference between an LVN and RN. But the bigger picture here is that we are all nurses regardless. Dont really get the ppl who make a big deal out of bein...

Go to the local adult school for the LVN program. I went to a private one and Im down 31,500. So in the end you win since youll pay roughly 4 figures rather than 5. And about the education, I learned more at home than at school, so it doesnt reall...

Well ended up calling them at 8:00 as soon as they open, and ended up waiting for 30 minutes to talk to an operator. Thats a first. Long story short, mail is overwhelming and they are running behind and said that processing takes 4-6 weeks. Guess ...
