Highly unrecommended, though possible. Part time you can definitely swing.

Haven't heard of that happening, but I can see that happen. You must know what your scope of field is and what is not. Down side of working at those practices is that you can possibly lose your skill set. Nursing homes aren't favorable but they do...

Never thought about that! Good to know. Any who congratulations cjprenurse.

Just because you get straight A's did exceptionally well on the TEAs test does not make you a potentially great nurse. There are books smart people who excel in studies vs people are more hands on. Hell I went to CSULA and was denied and told to cha...

Not sure if this is only for the generic program. But is anyone else doing the LVN-RN program? I took the HESI the other day and scored above the minimum requirement. I guess the process now is to wait for an email regarding orientation? We then ta...

There are two types of LVN-RN programs they offer. One where you get a degree and one you do not. The one you get your ADN is the same process as generic (maximum 94 points). You up are talking about the non degree which is a maximum of 33 points.

Crossing fingers, but no it did not state I was accepted. They just mention how many points are the minimum which is 78 points.

I got a email regarding LVN-RN bridge. They mentioned that we will hear back the week of April 24th.

Congratulations! I got put as an alternate to PCC's LVN-RN bridge. Crossing fingers.

Best way to get in? Volunteer, and network!

I took the TABE test yesterday for La Puente adult school for their LVN course. Let me say it was really easy. Even though it was timed test; I didn't have a problem with it at all. Especially with the reading portion, if I didn't know the answer ...

I graduated from Hacienda La Puente LVN program last year. Heck I loved/hated it. Tabe was a breeze, everyone panics about time and what not. Basic english/math/vocab etc. I studied the TEAs book for the test since i didn't want to buy the tabe book...

From my own personal experience. I've lost 10lbs from working as a nurse (4 months into working as a LVN). My meal consist of chicken breast, broccoli, and sweet potato. Even though it sounds extremely healthy it taste pretty darn good and for the ...

HI there. I was in the same state you were. I was 6 months in after I gotten my license and still no job where as my classmates were all working already. BUT I was volunteering at an acute facility for a 2 years already. I've applied to multiple pla...

About 3 months in Urgent Care and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

New grad no experience $26 at urgent care in california. My co-workers are around the mid $30s

Content on saunders is overwhelming. I tried to do the study schedule that saunders gives when you take the assessment test. After day 2 I was tired of all content I was just taking notes not actually memorizing it.

I managed to pass with only saunders and nclex3500 questions. Doing 200q + a day for about 3 weeks.

I used saunders and nclex 3500 questions ONLY. I was able to pass the test on 85q! I didn't study specifically what EACH DRUG does cause that is torture. So what I did is just get a general idea of all the endings mean. -Statin = lower cholesterol -p...

I too am in California. I did the PVT and got the good pop up. 25 days later I receive my letter that I passed. Just do something that takes your mind off the exam. Some period of time I actually forgot about the nclex and only remember because the ...

If you get the good pop up thats good to hear. Wow a entire 2 days of waiting? Try waiting 25 days. Just go do something you enjoy and RELAX. Yes quick results will still post on weekends.

Why would you try to add a probable $200 charge to a MAXED OUT credit card? Come on man. Anywho, I used card with insufficient funds and it gave me the good popup. If the card is decline that is a bad sign.

Congratulations. Wow you only had to wait 2 weeks?! I took mine on the 4th of sept and I just found out on monday!

Thanks _LVNtobe. I received my letter earlier today. I have passed! So the PVT trick worked for me.

Im currently still waiting! Getting really annoyed. Monday will be 3 weeks and 4th day.
