NiciNurse LVN

@Iloveapplez Congratulations! Good luck to you!

I hope so too. It should not be this hard for LVNs to continue their education to become RNs. It can be very discouraging at times.

@Iloveapplez Just received the same email. I didn’t pass either. That was fast! 😔

Yea, I applied to the generic RN program as well. I will most likely apply to Mission College too.

I agree. Not at all what I expected, and I studied!

Good luck! I take mine on Wednesday. I’m so anxious! Please let us know how it goes for you 😊

Hi @Susanbarajas Yea, it is a little nerve-racking! I graduated LVN school in 2010, so I know how you feel! I gave most of my nursing books away a few years ago. But I was able to find some Nursing Fundamentals Review books online. That's what I'll b...

@Nursemama10 Maybe check your spam folder? An email was sent last week to those who met the requirements and are eligible for the program

Yes, it closed November 7th. I’m asking if anyone in this thread applied?

Hi @Rose_22 Did you apply this cycle? I believe they said we would here back by today.

@Futurenpcm Hey, did you apply this cycle? I applied for LVN to RN advanced placement. The open application period for LVN to RN was October-November. I believe the Generic application period opens on November 30th.

Did anyone else apply this cycle for LVN to RN advanced placement?

Yes, good luck to you! Do you have any idea how many LVNs get seats per semester? Or how long do the LVNs have to wait for a seat to become available? I'm so anxious! And I hate not having all the information!

I've signed up to take the challenge exam as well. I plan on studying the ATI Comprehensive NCLEX PN Review book. I am also focusing on the topics in the Nursing 10 course Syllabus. What's your plan? Any tips or suggestions?

I work at a surgery center, and it is REQUIRED that you wear the surgical scrubs. Which means no outside attire what so ever. A couple of people at my job had the same concern, they brought it to the managers attention and eventually more Lg and XL s...

Question: You did not learn this information in your IV cert class??? I know in California, we can not push meds, but can hang fluids and administer blood.

I am a single mother of two boys. I worked as a cna part time on the weekends rotating shifts. This included nights which pays more, and definitely helped with the bills. It was hard, VERY hard but I did it and it is soo worth it. Being a single moth...

@merlee Don't be so negative, she's just excited...

Question. Did you manually flush with NS after EACH med administration?? That is BIG thing also to remember.....

The difference is that a bruise is caused by outside trauma to the area. Ecchymosis is a type of bruising caused by a disorder or a side effect to a medication. This is what I learned and remembered from nursing school, so technically it is a bruise,...

NurseLoveJoy88. Here in CA, LVN's make almost $30-$40 LESS than RN's do.... Also, LVN's cannot do assessments upon addmission...but we sure can anytime thereafter, even at the begining of a shift.

OMG!! Same thing happened to me last week. I had an interview on Wed. at 0930..didn't really think the manager was interested, so I just left it alone and left my phone upstairs on the charger. Later that evening I go upstairs to get my phone and I h...

I was just hired for a LVN position at a surgical center. I am VERY nervous, but soo excited!! I was hoping some of you seasoned nurses who has worked in this area can give me some advice, or suggest any material to review??? I just want to be as pre...

canesdukegirl Thank you sooo much. You gave me alot to consider and prepare with...I know it's not going to be easy, but like you said, I will eventually come into my own way of doing things. I didn't even think about a pocket "journal"!!! Great idea...

Great advice!! I will definitely be listening and observing.....don't want to get yelled at by impatient doc's!! roser13- I am being cross-trained...
