Work and pets?
I have 2 dogs. I give them a GOOD walk before work and when I get home they get a basic walk. They empty their cans and they do well. Shepard are very smart dogs. My neighbors shepherd showed my larger dog how to open doors.

California student: is a $30k LPN "worth it"
No No Nooooo. 30,000 for LVN no I did my LVN in LA at the adult school in El Monte for 3000 everything included uniforms, books, lab fees ect. Cc and adult schools are typically respected much more than the for profits. If you are worried about your deficiency take a class to bring you skills up.

How am I going to pay for nursing school?? input pls...
Not true of a lot of the so cal cc, everyone is different. Are you in LA county? LA county nursing you MUST take your general ed classes elsewhere. Trade Tech it doesn't matter where you take. If you are willing to commute or move to another part of the area I know there are places to get in.

Dilemma: choosing between ADN vs ABSN
That depends on location. In my state it is rare that a hospital will hire any ADN even the rural ones want BSN.

Thirsty?
My husband is from Mexico and the kids in his family drink coffee from a young age. The coffee they drink when we go to visit his family is soooo weak to me. My hubby thinks my coffee is way to strong.

Disturbing things that I heard Dr.s say in the Labor room

Traveling in California
I have a MH with a toad. If you do go that route pick a car (toad) that can be towed 4 down (don't belive dealership they lie) a car dolly is a pain and adds a ton of weight.

M.A. and CNA a good idea?
CnA is a nurse assistant and MA is medical assistant. They are different CNA will get you more exposure to nurses while MA is almost always working in a clinic. I did the MA route in HS.

LPN or BSN
Depends on where one lives. Where I live we have TONS of bridge programs but very FEW seats. The school closets to me had 1 bridge seat last year. California is so impacted that even people trying to bridge are having to move to get a seat. If I had it to do over I would just go for my ADN or BSN

LPN or BSN
I am an LVN and I wouldn't recommend it IF you want to be an RN. It has ended up taking me a lot longer and in the long run costing more money. If you want to work in LTC go for LVN

LPN? RN?
I wouldn't do LPN again. I did that I had a heck time finding a BSN bridge. I ended up redoing a lot. I wasted a lot of time. I couldn't get a job in an LTC or SNF where I lived as a LVN because it was soooo competitive. I went to a open interview for a LPN position and they stopped letting people in after more than 100. I ended up working in Dr office and it was great normal hours no weekends or holidays but the job made it almost impossible to take more classes. My hours were 9am to 7pm M-Th the local community colleges only offer limited classes that worked for me.

lpn or rn
ðŸ‘ðŸ‘👠I agree. I did lvn to pay the bills. The bridge programs in my area have waiting list years long. My state has only a few lvn-bsn programs but they only have a small hand full of seats every year.
