So I'm going to be ordering the kaplan a&p cards soon and I wanna pick up an a&p book to study up on. But what would be a good a&p book to pick up on amazon.com?

Oops I meant to say 2012. Imma call the school tomorrow to see what books they use. Thanks soo much for the help. Any other advice you would recommend?

Well my course doesn't start until june 2011. So what would be some good books to read up on and study will until then?

So Im planning on taking the LVN Program at Casa Loma. I havent gone to speak to a couselor about an pre-reqs that I need or any other requirements. I plan on taking the program thats night shifts since I work fulltime at a health insurance company. The program is Tues-Thurs 6p - 11p, and Sat 7a - 7p. I have no other education experiance other than a diploma from 2007 when I graduated highschool, and Im pretty nervous about attending school. I plan on setting up a meeting with a couselor in the next couples to ask questions about tuition, pre-reqs, etc. But my main question is what can I do in the meantime to prepare myself for this program? Once Im done with the program I want to continue on to become an RN. Even if it takes me longer than expected, I want to go on a pace that im comfortable with. I believe taking the LVN program, work as an LVN for a year or so once I graduate, and then go for the LVN-to-RN Bridge. Any tips or advice you guys, and gals can help me out on? Id greatly appreciate it.

Well the thing is working full time is what supplements all of my bills. I wish I could quit work and return to school full time. But sadly that just isnt an option for me. Im currently living at home, but with my father being unemployed. My mom has me paying rent. Its not too much shes asking so either way Im willing to help her out. Ive been looking to LVNs course to take next summer. But I have no idear on what steps to take to become an RN. I try to speak to my mother about how to become one. But She works when Im off, and Im working when shes at home. One of my coworkers is also looking into the LVN courses, and she also found out that Concorde does an LVN to RN Bridge Course. Any idears?

Hello everybody, Im currently 22yo, and Im interested in becoming a nurse since my mother has her masters in nursing. My educational background isnt something to write home about. I graduated high school in 2007 and didnt continue my schooling from there. I only had the opportunity to work since I needed a car, and had bills to pay. Im still in the same boat as I was out of high school. Paying bills, and rent and pretty much living paycheck to paycheck with the ability to save up some money just in case anything happens. Im currently working full time at Health Net in Southern California. Its steady work, 8am til roughly 5pm. Ive been wanting to go back to school whenever I can, but I can only go on weekday nights, and weekends too. Im considering looking into Casa Lomas LVN Program in Van Nuys that starts July 2012. And my mom recommends going for LVN then finding an LVN to RN Program. Can anyone give me some insight on what would be the best option to go RN? It would be much appreciate. Mark
