Hello everyone, I am new to this site and what drew me here was others discussing how to challenge the California LVN/LPN boards as a CNA. I have been a CNA for almost 8 years and it is time for a change. I have attempted in the past to get into nursing school and have failed because of time constraints and math. I have 5 children 3 of them range from 6 to 2yrs old. I really have always wanted to be a nurse since childhood but as a teen I was a mom at 17. I have tried going to community colleges to start my prereq's, and was never able to complete them because I was a single mom at the time and had to quit school to work and it became a challenge to do both because I was working night shift. Just last year, I got into the Healthcare admin/management program for University of Phoenix, and I love it so far however I still would like to advance from CNA to LVN while finishing this degree that will take me another 3 years. I am not in any ADN program I have never been I know you have to have med/surg experience which I have plenty of pediatric experience which I have plenty of from float, and maternity experience which I only got training to be a CNA 8 years ago. The hospital I work for does not allow CNA's On the floors so I don't know how to get this experience and lastly I know I need Pharmocology but no schools offer this unless you in a program can anyone help me with this if so My email is shonaywilliams [email protected]. I don't know If I can do both a degree program and challenge the boards but I need a change if someone is willing to help me in this endeavor I will gladly take the help.
