The program is built to incorporate all pre req's. if you transfer in they may not accept all of the units. There is a limit, and some classes don't qualify.

I am late in response, but was accepted for the fall 2012 semester. School starts in just a couple of weeks. How exciting and scary all at the same time!

Interview this week! How exciting!

No I think you need to re-apply.

Well I was successful in my search. I was hired last week and am waiting on my PPD to start.....I was told many times how lucky I was to land the position

Msoleimanieh- I originally set out for spring (current semester), but didn't take nclex at deadline. Then I set for summer, kissed deadline to submit my license by 5 days. Now all paperwork is in and I am keeping my fingers crossed for fall!Leung89- HNU only offers the LVN to BSN for LVN grads. They do not have a LVN program, and their program is catered for working adults. Also the average gpa is around 2.8, but they of course like the higher the better. They accept 24 per semester, and pre-reqs are built into the curriculum. If you have pre reqs then you can transfer them so long as they are transferable.

Well I am fairly certain the interviews this week were for the summer semester.....I am sure we should be hearing something soon.....if not then we will hear from them when the deadline is up in June. Can you imagine having an interview now then having to wait 2 months or more to find out if you were accepted or not!? I would lose it! Haha

It honestly wasn't long at all. Is this for the CA BON? Have you contacted your enforcement worker? How fast were you going for the tickets? How far apart were the incidents? What they are looking at is to make sure these incidents are not just negligence and want to make are that you are not going to be a negligent nurse based off the history.

Yes I did... took all of 2 days for California enforcement to release my file for licensing. Call your enforcement worker, and ask if there is anything that they need from you. Did you inform them of these tickets? I know they are less lenient if you don't disclose them.

I sent N email....no word yet

I'm still waiting....I am going to contact admissions to see when I can expect to hear something

Unfortunately that is nog enough. You should never be just a face behind a computer....

Have you been out on foot filling applications out in person? County Jails, have you tried there?

You know, I am not too sure, but a friend of mine heard back within 2 weeks of interview by a phone call. Since you have been interviewed, how long after you submitted all of your requirements until they called you in for an interview?Good luck to you!

Hey all! I know of a few of us that are applying to Holy Names University in california for the LVN to BSN bridge program fall 2012 start. I know of one other thread here on allnurses for HNU, but wanted to post a more recent topic for those of us striving for one of the few spots available. My file will be complete as soon as I get my license and send it to my admissions rep....I hope this time around I will be able to save my seat for that fall start date! If I am called for an interview I will be sure to update everyone on how it goes, but as far as I know they ask questions like : Why HNU? why do you want to be a nurse? What are your career goals? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What qualities would make you a good nurse? And others along those lines. I am going to wish us all luck, and HOPE that we can get our feet into those doors! Oh yes and does anyone plan to attend an informational meeting? I am thinking of going to one, even though I have sat down with an admissions rep.

What kind of registry work are you referring to caliboy760? I am also in cali, searching relentlessly for a new job, and a new grad to boot. I am literally pounding pavement every single day in my search...

Heads up...cashiering is backed up at the board. They pulled everyone off of new licenses to answer phones. I called this morning and even though my check had been cashiered on the 19th...they needed more time to process the license.

I am working towards my LVN to RN Bridge program here in California...Luckily this one does not require prior work experience

Thank you all for your replies! I know that there is something out there for me, and I will remain patient until that offer comes my way, that I just can't resist! I hope it's in an acute setting, but I will be happy with ANY offer at this point :)

How long after you received your license did you get your first LVN job? I am going a little crazy over here since I am pounding the pavement every day trying to find a job. When will my opportunity come? Just needed to get that one out...

I recently dealt with them. Took and passed my NCLEX-PN on February 17, 2012. My results showed up exactly 2 weeks later, and they closed my case about 1 or 2 days after receiving my results.

What would you do when you have incomplete medical records for a patient?[TABLE=width: 90%] [TR] [TD]Treat to the best of my ability and knowledge[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] Take time to find the records[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] Ask a supervisor what to do[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] Ask the patient what to do[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] Look at what has been done in the past in similar situations[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] Wait until someone tells me what to do[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] So it's obviously not asking the patient! LoL, but which of the options would you say is the best option in this kind of situation?

Hi everyone! I passed my boards and I need to send my $150 in to the boards to get my license, but I don't know if I am missing something. Can I send a personal check to the board, or does it have to be a certified check. Any insight would be great, because I don't want to send a personal check to find out it must be certified. Thanks everyone!

i think that is a pretty bold statement to make. i am a so called generation y and i don't have that mentality at all. the op stated that they were 30....i believe in traditional hard work and perseverance...i do not expect anything to be handed to me on a silver platter.....kinda stereotypical don't you think? i thought as nurses we shouldn't pass our own idealism's or judgments onto others.....just my
