    I an discussing salary right now with a place in Portland, OR. They offered me

  5. Did anyone do the LPN to BSN at university of phoenix?

    LVNBSN2 replied to lynnie88's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't think there is much difference between the program in Phoenix, or CO, or CA. You have to have 6 months experience as an LPN, and you have to attend classes. Call and ask an advisor to find out...

  6. Orientation at LTC/Subacute Rehab facility

    LVNBSN2 replied to IlovemycareerRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I got 3 days on the floor with a floor nurse. No such thing as "classroom time" unless, by that you mean the orientation day in with staff development watching videos about the company and filling out...

  7. Will the economy ever get better so less people will pursue nursing?

    LVNBSN2 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    And another problem is.......no experience? Then you have NO JOB

  8. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    LVNBSN2 replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, keeping a 4.0 in the BSN program is hard! I have a 3.71....pharm did me in,

  9. New grad nurse can't find work....to take LTC position or not to take LTC position...

    LVNBSN2 replied to jammo444's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. I saw 2 RN's I work with in LTC go to the hospital after they went to the hiring manager and said "I want the job, I will work wherever/whenever you need," Both had about 2 years experience...

  10. worried about dissection

    LVNBSN2 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wasn't thrilled with the idea of dissecting ANYTHING. But, your grade may depend on it. Ask the instructor at the beginning of the class, and if there is no option for you find a partner willing to...

  11. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    LVNBSN2 replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Adriano, I did most of my pre-req's for nursing school at EVCC. I applied there, and to Mission College in Santa Clara and was rejected with my first app, and accepted on my second. A 4.0 is awesome!...

  12. Unitek College LVN program... good or Bad??

    LVNBSN2 replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Mission College in Santa Clara has an LVN-RN program. I graduated from Mission's LVN program in 2005, and the LVN-RN there is a new program....might be worth looking into. I don't know about the...

  13. Fired!

    LVNBSN2 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was fired for whistle blowing, and, of course, that is illegal, so I was fired for "performance" and have no disciplinary action in my file stating so. I was never told why, exactly, I was fired,...

  14. rn to bsn programs a scam...

    LVNBSN2 replied to nd deb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow, good for you!! Are you totally stressed by the classes you are taking? Or are they not as bad as you once

  16. rn to bsn programs a scam...

    LVNBSN2 replied to nd deb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, shoot, I totally got screwed, LOL! My LPN-BSN is 120 credit hours and I transferred in with a little over half of the

  17. Lpn to bsn advice please!

    LVNBSN2 replied to enunez29's topic in LPN to RN

    Yep, local schools are EXTREMELY hard to get into. If you have a 4.0 GPA you may not get in. And many are steering away from waitlists (not all) and going to a lottery

  18. does anyone of you could help me to pass my nclex pn board examination?

    LVNBSN2 replied to palladium09's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Take an NCLEX review course. Kaplan has one, I think. It is expensive from what I hear, but it's worth a shot. Take a course in relaxation and use those tecqniques when you sit for the boards next...

  19. rn to bsn programs a scam...

    LVNBSN2 replied to nd deb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh, Ok I gotcha. I am curious, though, why do they have LPN's with the RN's? Seems like the LPN-BSN and the RN-BSN should be separate. That's weird they'd combine classes like that. I am not taking...

  20. rn to bsn programs a scam...

    LVNBSN2 replied to nd deb's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, the LPN's have their own NCLEX to take. Their are 2 different ones, NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN. Why do your RN classes not count for some of the BSN classes? Some of your gen ed classes have to be...

  22. Hey guys! Post what you are going to do right after you graduate. I'll start.

    LVNBSN2 replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am hoping I can just find a job. We may move back to the Bay Area. Want to go directly into the MSN program at UoP. That's the plan,

  23. Nurse trying to scare me away from RN/Nursing in general

    LVNBSN2 replied to camci's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds funny, but, don't let her take away your dream. I have been an LPN for 6 years and made $20/hr in LTC, $25 at my staffing agency. It isn't all about the money. You won't get rich, but you...

  24. Need information on getting my RN License in a different state

    LVNBSN2 replied to SftballbabeE09's topic in General Students

    Are Delaware and NY part of a compact state? Since you are going to school in Del, you should test in Del, and then apply for endorsement in NY. Check on both BON sites and see what they require. I...

  25. Associate, BSN, or Masters

    LVNBSN2 replied to khalverson's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Your GPA is too low. You need at least a 3.5.....and most 4 year schools are so competitive, you many not even get in with a
