That's is fantastic news!

I agree with you completely, it did not do much for me when it came down to it. When you did the Nursing Exell, did you study anything before that??? For instance, you did Kaplan in 2009 and then the nsbn...What did u use to study before doing the ...

Home care, $60 to open the case, $45 per visit. And it is great because you are on your own time schedule.

i heard that it all depends on which state you reside in and what facility you work at. plus i think it determines, or im pretty sure it matters if it's union or not. If it's union they must pay the current union wage. Do a search for union wages a...

i attneded sycamore nurses. honestly, i almost quit after the first day i was so frustrated. i was so overwhelmed by the topic covered in class,math. i just could not get it even if my life depended on it.at that moment, i serioulsy just wanted to ...

I took the NCLEX 3 times and just passed on my 4th attempt. I had a steady diet of 7 hours of sleep per night, 3 healthy meals per day, exercise, prayer and meditation, and a very effective review school here in Los Angeles. If you are able to clea...

Senior male patients who don't know how to close their legs while wearing their hospital gowns.

It is harder. I took the NCLEX for the 4th time after the new exam was implemented a few months ago. And in comparison to the older test, there are a lot more "Choose all that apply" questions on my particular test. But thank goodness I passed. M...

Wow, what an inspirational anecdote.

Anyone who says B should quit now. People's lives are at stake.

It is very rare to find another occupation where you matter as much to someone's life. A great nurse can make it a lot more tolerable in bad situations. A bad nurse can make an easy one miserable

Sorry Winnie, but your calculations are a bit off, check again and it would be 110,000/ and your current base salary multiply that by 100. Now see what you get

A friend of mine took the same steps that you are about to do, because she could not work so she worked her way up through first taking CNA, then and an advanced nursing assistant, now she's currently a LPN working towards my RN.So keep doing what...

Ah, wished I saw this thread earlier hehehe Hello fellow students! I just finished in September 27th for a 16 month LVN program at CCC in Los Angeles, CA. Very happy I'm done. I bet you all are happy that hesi a2 exam was over with eh? lol

Isn't it true that a prerequisite to get into any LVN or RN program now requires a CNA degree? I have a few friends interested but not liking to the fact that they may have to take a CNA course, which shouldn't be more than 2 months anyway. I person...

Community colleges are very difficult to get into because of the price so the waiting list is extremely long. Going into a private "for profit" institution may be easier, but it is very expensive.

I tried Kaplan at first too and well, Kaplan didn't work for me cuz I felt like twas just the same. Answer a question and they'll explain the rationale. They give tips though on how to answer the questions, but in my opinion those tips were also i...

Yes, that link should work. I felt stuck, and just went into my 4th attempt; just not getting as much done each day as I'd hoped from playing the waiting game. Failing is not an option and it can't happen.

Maybe you should go into storytelling. :)

I think the dates you are referring to are changing also probably just means you are being considered... but look at it this way, you're being considered! My dates changed today! I'm excited... even though it doesn't mean much, it gives me some hope...

i concur, don't allow this establishment to keep you down. maybe you they aren't the school for you anyways./

2.9. Very average
