Up to $200K to become a nurse, that is insane! With that price, you might as well attend Med school omg!

I too went to school for Medical Assisting and never got a job until I moved out of state. The job I did get was through a temp agency. The agency then told me three months later that Doctors were only looking for MA's with at least 1 year of experie...

I am curious to know what is the salary for LVN's in Texas. 1. What was your starting pay? 2. Years of experience? 3. City? 4. What type of facility? 5. Area of expertise?

Wow that is sad. I went to Platt years ago to check out their program and they were very rude to me so I did not sign up. Not sure if that has anything to do with encouraging their students and helping them but #shrugs, now their is one less school f...

Hello @jasminewilliams, I know it is almost a year later but how are you doing at DNI? I am looking into attending the LVN program starting soon within the next month or so. How was your experience and did you go to DNI or did you choose a different ...

Collin County Community College DOES NOT offer the LVN program. El Centro (Downtown Dallas) offers the LVN program but it is just as competitive as their RN program. I don't know how much you are willing to spend after you finish school but there are...

Hello @ms.lovely. How long have you been living in the DFW area? I am just curious. I too, am living in Dallas,TX. El Centro (community college) offers the LVN program but it is very competitive, same as the RN program there. At El Centro, you would ...

Congratulations on your acceptance into the program. Please be sure to keep us up-to-date on your progress. Good luck!

@amberdawn85 Did you deliver before or after you graduated? How was your experience in school while you were pregnant? Did you have to take off several days?

@JulieVN :) - I am looking into to attend the LVN program at DNI, how was your experience? Is it really that fast paced as others say?

Thank you so much for your prompt response, this really does help me out and hopefully others as well.

I started pre-reqs years ago and they have expired since it has been over 5 years. So I was looking towards the LPN/LVN program here in Dallas because it does not require pre-reqs and one RN program here does not require pre-reqs here (it costs mo...

This is so true. Take it from me, I graduated for Medical assisting in 2008 and never, I mean never even got an interview or position for a Medical Assistant. There are plenty of job postings for Medical Assisting jobs but they rarely hire. I even mo...

I also graduated from a Medical Assisting program back in 2008 and still til this day I am not able to find employment due to "No Experience" which seems like a crock to me because you have to work in order to gain experience. I wish I had gone for t...

Great advice, I wish I had your patience and determination to put off school and start back again. Finding a program that does give leniency on attendance is very hard to find. Have you graduated already and how is your experience working now? Did yo...

I am 3 months pregnant with two children ages 8 & 12 years old, unemployed and living with my fiance but looking into nursing school. My fiance and I agreed that it was okay for me to attend school since my pregnancy has no current complications....
