Not always, if we request it then the instructor will go over the tests...more so in first semester tho. Also our instructor adjusts tests/quizzes because there are many variations in our books.

I think it depends on the school as well. The drop rate if any is very low at my college and most classes have 100% pass rate when taking the nclex the first time around.

My program is a year long (3 semesters) The first semester we have clinical's for 6 weeks, I'm not sure about the other two semesters.

Ugh that's too bad. I had a great job at a hospital then relocated to a rural area for the nursing program and the only work I could find as a CNA was in a nursing home (which i was fine with) anyway I heard horror stories about management trying to ...

I can't wait for clinical's. I have been a CNA for years and worked on an acute care unit in a hospital. Clinical's should be somewhat easy for me, thank goodness because I'll be busting my tail with everything else. I don't know if you have ever bee...

Awesome! I start lvn schooling on Monday. I'm nervous.....There will be a lot thrown at us very quickly. I am not the greatest with math that makes me the most nervous of all.. I don't have a problem with conversions but I am not good at fractions. S...

I went to a bath house today and had a few mineral bath and sauna sessions came home and breezed through some chapters....I feel better however I am avoiding my nurse math meds book. I have looked at several websites and I still have trouble with tho...

I start the lvn program next Monday. My instructor emailed the class giving us the first 2 weeks reading assignments...I opened my math book for the class and started going over the basics, started panicking because the first chapter is full of fract...

Thanks!

abit thanks... I know this will be my largest challenge to date so hopefully it all works out in the end.

I got all my books (beside the huge bundle) from Amazon and Ebay. For example my college bookstore wanted $30 for an lpn clinical pocket guide....I got it brand new on Ebay for $8..The college bookstores are ridiculous!

Hello, I worked at Northern California Rehabilitation Hospital. I worked on the LTAC floor. Yes they do hire LVN's. Here in Ca an LVN is a nurse. You have your own patients usually 4-6 like the RN's. You are responsible for everything there is no RN ...

Curious if there are any College of the Siskiyous Fall 2012 LVN students here??

Danskos! They are leather. Spendy but I worked 12 hour shifts as a CNA and they saved my feet. I'm willing to pay to not be sore.

I know that I have many many.....MANY books to take to class....All I've heard/seen is backpack on wheels....really? Do I need all my books everyday? Opinions? What do you put your books/supplies in?

I don't even want to think about the RN. It will be a miracle getting threw the lvn... good grades don't come easily to me so I will have to study like I've never studied. But then again, anatomy was the most intense class I've taken so far, I didn't...

I have 15 books ..... I figured I'll just take a backpack with the days books and leave the rest in my car since the parking lot is in very close proximity with the building.

as i stated in another post.... you need to do what is right for you in your personal life, simple as that. i have been going back and forth between lvn or rn for a few years, i flip flopped every other day. some people have their parents paying all...

I am enrolled in an LVN program.

My class in Mon 8-5 Tue 6-230 Wed 1-920 Thur 9-11, 12-230 skills lab. Fri 8-11, 12-230 skills lab. When am I supposed to study and work!? Yikes, I suppose Th/Fri will be good study days. I'll have an hr in between lab and then after 230 i'll have mor...

I have heard the pearson NCLEX is very good. Also I think you can go on their website and do some practice test, there is a fee.

I can't stand those types of personalities. I had one in my Anatomy class ( a male). He thought because he was an EMT he knew all. I'm surprised the instructors don't knock him off his cloud. When I went through the CNA program years ago I had alread...

Sounds about right from what I have heard.... Are the tests based off of chapters you read for homework or material covered in class? I start the LVN program next month and I am nervous about all the tests per week, and this goes on for a year Yikes...

I have been hearing loads of rumors for years now about California trying to require all nursing levels (LVN/ADN) to upgrade to a BSN? So in other words get your BSN or you will not be a nurse in California. Any info on this? As I said it's a rumor I...

Thanks
