Nurseeverywhere CNA, LVN

How's the ADN program going? I had dropped out because I was travel nursing but I am currently applying to readmit. I am in DFW and they are opening up over here. I even stopped traveling and obtained a full time job for this.

Wanted to see how anyone that started this program is doing? I was accepted into GCU's ABSN and Unitek LVN to BSN but my kids are unwilling to budge as far as moving. So WCU and APU are my only chances and going straight into a BSN. I have W's on my ...

Hey LVN_Flower, The schools here in SD are very limited in how many students they take. For example, Southwestern college (where I graduated from with my LVN) takes 10 at most LVN to RN students and that's only if enough ADN students either drop or f...

I have decided to go with Unitek since I am really looking into a two year LVN to BSN program and it mainly being online has sold me!! Everything seems to be going well, just need to retake my TEAS and take micro (set to take thru SCU in Jan). BPina ...

I will look into Tucson. Thank you for the info. I have an associates in psychology and one in vocational nursing.

I will be calling when I get out of work Monday morning. I believe the only two classes I am short of are micro and the religious class. I am set to take micro in Jan and be done with it by mid Feb. I will have to take any religious classes through t...

I have been waiting to hear from this school as I am literally looking into ALL programs I can find in the U.S.. Is this school as competitive to apply as say, Azusa Pacifica? I am in San Diego and just looking at all my options.

Oh those stats are scary but I did do fairly well on my exit exam when I completed my VN program and passed NCLEX with minimal studying. Not that I wouldn't put in all my effort. I still need to complete Micro and I want to do O chem for APU app. I j...

Hey everyone, I was looking into this school for their ABSN program. I am in San Diego and the options are so limited here. I requested more information from the school but d/t it being a holiday weekend I know I won't hear back for a couple of ...

I have not taken the NCLEX so I cannot offer any advice on study material. Stay strong, rearrange test taking date as needed. Sending positive vibes.

Have you tried agencies? I have read some have new grad programs. You can find a few on zip recruiter. I believe UNI (agency) does this for the county hospital Edgemoor.

I am planning on trying to get into a TEAS test prep class. How many of you have actually tried one of these? I have the book but feel like I am really clueless in science and need some practice in math. Will this type of class help me with those sub...

Hi Keikozb, I just wanted to come in and tell you not to be discouraged. I am not sure where in SoCal you are but as far as your GPA it is not bad. Here in San Diego the chem class does not even count towards your total points for an ADN program. Sci...

I am not sure where you are but here in San Diego, CA medical assistants are being phased out of clinic settings that are attached to hospitals. I know that is not true in all parts of the country so you really have to look at your market. LVNs will ...

I start SWCCD LVN program (San Diego, CA) in August. Orientation is July 9th. Were the costs for books and what not very high for your schools?

Did they ever fix their accreditation issue? If I am not accepted into SWC LVN program I plan on applying at Brightwood.

I applied for Southwestern's LVN program back in February. I know today was the last day to apply up until 3pm. The program accepts students every 18 months so this is really my only hope as far as the LVN program. I don't want to wait until this fal...

I am really hoping to hear something soon. I went in on Monday and they had applications to different programs all over the place. I could see that they had a lot to go through but I'm still anxious to find out if I'm getting in.

I know they took a long time for the ADN program but hopefully they don't do the same for us. Considering that it starts in August i don't think they can. My concern is that I am currently in physio and so I am hoping they still consider me.

Can I ask what your estimated points were? I have been following this thread (Congrats to those of you finally accepted!) and wanted to see where along the way I need to fall for SWC's ADN. I attended the workshop on Friday just to ask questions and ...

Currently I only applied for the LVN as I will be taking Micro over the summer. If for whatever reason I am not accepted into the LVN program I will try for the ADN. I was able to ace anatomy once I completed it but not sure how this new director wil...

Hi everyone, I have been reading here that there is a new director and that she seems a bit stricter than the last one. Makes me a bit nervous as I just applied for the LVN program and won't here back until May. The previous director allowed more tha...

Hello I just found your post and have a question regarding the two tries for the teas test. Is there a certain amount of time before taking it a second time? For example, the community colleges here in San Diego want you to wait a year and also take ...

I was able to get into acute care after working per diem at a skilled nursing facility and volunteering at my local hospital. I did both for seven months and was then hired at the hospital.

I did several years of home health but could not get into an acute setting with that experience. Most want a year of LTC or SNF experience. I volunteered at the hospital I wanted at the same time as working per diem at a SNF. I was also in school and...
