    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Lev's topic in Emergency

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to seriouslyserious's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  9. South university 2015

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to smith-alexanderBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Honestly I think it's going to be what you put into it and you will have to review things even after the class is over. But I think anyone who attends an online school, a school with hybrid classes,...

  10. Why do some people look down on LPNs?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to eatlovepray04's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Having been an LVN a HUGE problem imo is the literature and the nclex rn. I was SHOCKED. They make LVNs sound like idiots who couldn't do anything. I found while doing practice questions that i...

  11. Please help I am starting to lose hope in becoming a nurse

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to wantstobeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't agree with the previous poster. Maybe pay is bad where you are but I support a family of four in southern California. Sure money is tight but I'm also a new grad so I'm at the bottom. My job...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to smith-alexanderBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Lro87's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I k now someone who got their license with a DUI, but they had to jump through some hoops and have letters from instructors and supervisors. Tread very carefully on this because if you don't disclose...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Stocktonluke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seems like you got your answer but i will throw this out there for others, a lot of csus are and if you are at a csu and need help the veterans office is outstanding! They have leverage. They won't...

  17. Other than BSN

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to JenKnowles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    BSN classes are imo a lot about nursing theory, research and leadership. They do play into patient care. You will need to know APA when you have to write masters level papers. It's

  18. Former LPN's, what path did you take?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to joqueen's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I had to finish my RN prerequisites. Then I got lucky and did a pilot LVN to BSN program. If RN is your long term goal do it as quickly as you can. I have seen so many LVNs become complacent and...

  19. Need some positive insight about interview

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to trello's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  23. Accepted...have concerns

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to RB2000's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Is it just starting an NP program or the entire nursing dept? If it's just NP and their RN program has a good rep and pass rate I would go. If it's the entire nursing dept I wouldn't. Another thing to...
