Is anyone here attending or has attended SAC or St. Philips College, specifically for the LVN to RN program? Does anyone happen to know if clinicals can be held on the weekends? I am looking for an online course with clinicals either on Saturday ...
Hi Morgan,
I’m also applying for the Fall 2022 semester. Unfortunately, I am not partnered, but will be considered priority since I have finished both Patho and Pharm. I’ve taken the TEAS so I am just waiting for the application to come out ...
Hi. I received my license in 2016 and worked as an LVN for 3 months. I’m ready to go back but afraid that I will have trouble finding a job. Do you think I will have trouble securing a position in nursing since it’s been 2 and and half years sinc...
Hi anto361. I am currently enrolled at UTA in the prereqs, and I spoke with an advisor last week concerning the BSN program. According to her, 3.75 GPA is competitive, but having a Bachlor's degree will definitely help you. I'd email an advisor ...
Thought I'd add that I registered today for the Spring 2018 semester. I'm taking Microbiology, Med Term, Contemporary Math and Sociology. I'm excited but know that have a lot ahead of me. Is anyone else taking their pre-reqs?
Hi! I applied for the Spring 2018 online BSN program, but I'm still working on my pre-reqs. I'm also a mom, but my babies are adults now. I'll probably be the oldest in the class! In my opinion, you're never to old to learn. I'm also an LVN...
I have bipolar disorder and I would really like to work in psych. I was planning on starting a thread to get input on whether this would be a good idea, but found this one instead. The comments here have been very helpful. Since I will soon ...
Hi everyone, Today was the last day of the first semester of the vn program and I received all A's in my classes. I am concerned though because I really don't feel comfortable at all in my lab skills, and have to repeat them over and over just to g...
I'm in school for vocational nursing and am considering asking for accommodations for bipolar disorder. So far I haven't had a problem, but am afraid that as time goes on I might have a problem keeping up with the workload. Do you think this is a ...
Hi~ I am new here and an excited to find this site. I am applying for LVN school and the deadline is June 14, 2013. My problem is this: in 2009 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I have been stable for 3 years and know that I would make a gr...
Hi Vindication~ nice to meet you. :) Yes, I was referred to TPAPN and I will gladly comply in order to become a nurse. BTW, I was accepted to nursing school and start in three weeks. Yay for me! :)
I can't answer your question about critical thinking, as I'm about to enter an lvn program myself. At least you'll have experience as a nursing student, so I would think that would be a big help for you. I do wish you the best of luck! :)
The BON has finally cleared me for licensure, two weeks before the last day to apply for the spring semester. :). What a relief! Hopefully I'll have more good news soon. Keep your fingers crossed!
Hi Cat_Lady83, Your post has brought me hope. I have to participate in TPAPN to be able for licensure due to bipolar disorder. I was afraid that I would have trouble finding a job, but from what you shared I now know that there are facilities tha...
Just curious to know if anyone on this site is an LVN working for San Antonio State Hospital and could share anything about the job, like pay, benefits, how they like working there, ect.? Thanks!
Thank you so much Jooliaghoulia for sharing your experience. A month isn't really that long but can seem like an eternity when you're waiting to be cleared. Hopefully I'll get good news soon, just have to be patient. :). Thanks again!
