    So did mine. So I downloaded the form provided and uploaded it. It got rejected and said that they also wanted a "Consent to Treat" form as well, which they did not provide. When I spoke to them, they...

    This is correct. If you are already an LVN, you have already been through the fingerprinting and background process. Unless you have had something change with your background check since becoming an...

    Yeah, we did those kinds of skills check offs in LVN school and I absolutely DREADED it. Although I'm a bit of an extrovert, I got really bad stage fright and a lot of anxiety over it. I can remember...

    Oh ok, I got you. IVs and foleys and stuff. We didn't really do check offs or testing on that at KW for the transition students. It was more of just hands on reviewing in the lab with the teacher...

    It does not. Because it is only 3 days a week, it runs the entire Summer. Montgomery is 5 days a week because the semester is shorter. You get the same amount of class and clinical hours between the...

    This is accurate. It's a condensed Summer session. It's M-F, 8-4, but it's only for 6 weeks. Then you get the rest of the summer session off before resuming in the fall. That's the only reason I...

    Thanks again, Daniel. We do self-scheduling in the ER, so putting myself on weekends is no problem. For the 3rd day, I can use PTO I suppose. My manager is a pretty cool dude so I think he'll...

    HowdyHowdy replied to Nancyface23's topic in School, College Programs

    Every campus is a little bit different. Some even change schedules between semesters and between years. Most are going to be some variation of 2 days of lecture, 1 day of lab and 1 day of clinical....
