Usually transferring a CNA license from one state to another can be as simple as applying for reciprocity. CNA Training Classes in Arizona (AZ)

You can read about 20+ different online RN to BSN programs here and see which one looks most appealing to you. The RN-BSN program is very popular so you can find it at almost all schools with nursing departments.

Hello Aish84, I cannot offer any specific feedback on Platt but I can provide this list of CCNE accredited LPN to RN programs in Oklahoma to help you find potential schools to attend.:up:

I would continue taking practice exams and answering practice questions until you are getting over 90% correct on a regular basis.

Think of all the reasons why you are pursuing a career in nursing in the first place. Maybe considering this can help you get back to a place of focus on the tasks at hand.

Here is a list of all CCNE accredited LPN to RN programs in California as of 2010.

Since you already have hands-on experience being a nurse I think an online BSN program would be an excellent way to advance your career. I have also heard positive things about Western Governors, and would also recommend looking into University of Phoenix.

That is completely up to your personal preference. I don't think the fact that you are a Nursing student makes any difference, but I would personally recommend living in the dorms to enjoy the "full" college experience.

There are lots of LPN to RN programs available both in classroom settings and through online nursing schools. You can view this directory of accredited LPN to RN programs which includes both types. I would recommend classroom setting because with online courses you miss out on the hands-on practice.:up:

I think they are technically suppose to fail you for missing any necessary step during your skills exam. However, I think they choose very simple skills to ask you to perform and I think they are very lenient and almost encouraging you to remember to complete everything that is required. I wouldn't stress about it too much, but be aware of the guidelines.

Excellent! Thanks for showing us all that there is light at the end of the tunnel:D

I would agree with the comments above, it will not make a difference when you apply to nursing schools so you might as well save the money and take your courses at a community college. There is no shame in that.

I don't think that you can give anything a fair chance in that short amount of time. Although you dislike the job I would suggest that you continue for at least 3 months to find out if this is a career path you wish to pursue.

I would be wary of the "2 day boot camp" program since the minimum number of hours required by federal regulations is 75. I would be suspicious of any program that promises to fulfill the CNA training requirement in less time than that.

Even if you found a course where the instructors speak Spanish it is required that the CNA certification exam be administered in English. There is a national directory of CNA training classes here: http://typesofnurses.net/cna-training/ but this list does not include many nursing homes that will offer to pay for your training program costs if you agree to become an employee after completing the CNA program and certification. These opportunities can be found by calling local assisted living homes.
