    LiLev replied to lvnreadyforrn's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know of any California programs that will accept online Mico, Anatomy or Physiology since they all have to have a lab component here. Think its a state requirement.Good

    LiLev replied to ZAK606's topic in General Students

    LiLev replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    San Diego State gives it every day which is a bit closer than driving to NAPA. I didn't take it there but I think they just have a testing room where there are all types of proctored exams going on...

  16. Starting Pay for New Grads RN's in Southern CA

    LiLev replied to Crystal74's topic in California Nursing
