  1. Pasadena City College Fall 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to cjprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    Bakersfield College and CSU Bakersfield are good. I wish I could have gone there but I already moved out of Bakersfield. I have never really heard of complaints about disorganization from those two....

  2. Pasadena City College Fall 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to cjprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    We're you asking me? You'll have to go back and read my posts because I'm on mobile and frankly, do not feel like typing everything over again. I did not do the boot camp because I was an LVN going...

  3. Pasadena City College Fall 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to cjprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    I'm going to PM

  4. Accepted to LVN program...

    Hello_Pretty replied to Todd94's topic in California Nursing

    Couldn't have said it better. You will do better clinically and it'll ahow5. The RN program is more in depth; you'll get your fundamentals down easy and might already know some of your pharm. Here's...

  5. Pasadena City College Fall 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to cjprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    Just some stats for you, 17 students failed 3rd semester and 2 failed 4th semester. About 50% have BA/B.S. degrees or are concurrently enrolled at the CSULA collaborative. They do prefer students with...

  6. Best way to study from PowerPoints??

    Hello_Pretty replied to Jen51685's topic in General Students

    Not sure what class you are taking since you only put the class # with no description. If you type fast, I would consider doing that. I learn better writing and never print out the ppts. But then my...

  7. LPN Scope of Practice: First aid vs Initial assessment

    Hello_Pretty replied to ilovewoundcare's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You were pretty vague about the type of place you work at... I would have the RN stay. What if there are multiple patients who are unstable, will the RN leave those patients and ALL the patients in...

  8. Pasadena PCC LVN to RN 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to valpal562's topic in School, College Programs

    Just go back a few posts and you'll find a really long post I wrote that should relieve some anxiety. You don't get your own patients; you follow the nurse. In 3rd you'll start with 1, but you still...

  9. BSN's only can get a PHN in CA

    Hello_Pretty replied to geocachingRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, it was never free for CA residents! There is the Board of Governor's tuition waiver (but it did not actually GIVE you money and it doesn't cover books or campus fees). Anyways, the BOG is for...

  10. Cal State San Marcos online RN to BSN

    Hello_Pretty replied to khleber6's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What drew me to CSUSM was the 6 starts a year (because its part of extended education) and it would actually cost less than being a regularly admitted student. CSUDH let's you take classes before...

  11. Cal State San Marcos online RN to BSN

    Hello_Pretty replied to khleber6's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Would it help to find preceptors/clinical sites before we start the program, and then have it all ready when we are actually in the program? I'm really leaning towards CSU Dominguez Hills because they...

  12. Nclex results on Breeze site.

    Hello_Pretty replied to Adsknuth's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I got the good popup an hour after I finished my exam. I did 85 questions and passed. This was in 2015 so I believe the trick still works. Still tool me 4 weeks to get the official letter though!...

  13. Losing your skills if you start out in LTC?

    Hello_Pretty replied to SouthernBelle85's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    One of the LTC I worked at had the med nurses, treatment nurse, and desk nurse. Desk nure was an RN during the week and LVN on the weekend. I worked every role they had as am LVN. You will pass tons...

  14. Are you happy being an LPN?

    Hello_Pretty replied to MelissaLPN2RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I forgot to add I'm getting my ADN. I already applied to RN-BSN programs, but I probably won't start until next year because I need $$$ to pay for it

  15. Are you happy being an LPN?

    Hello_Pretty replied to MelissaLPN2RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Got my BS in Business at 25, never found a job. Became a CNA at age 27, LVN at 29, and now at 31 I'll be finishing RN school. I was a single mom until a year ago right before I started RN school. I...

  16. Got an offer letter, now nothing...

    Hello_Pretty replied to joan of snark's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It can depend if you're working for a big hospital or a small

  17. New Grad Qualification Question

    Hello_Pretty replied to Dirzicus's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agreed! Better to rejected than take the risk of never knowing... you never know, they might actually hire you! I graduate in 3 weeks and have put in apps at a few places. Most of them said they've...

  18. shift care vs visits.

    Hello_Pretty replied to nurseprice's topic in Home Health

    Hi nurseprice. Did you go from LVN-BSN? I've seen a couple of your posts on AN and just curious. I'm an LVN, almost done with ADN school (3 more weeks!) Wondering if the ADN will hurt my chances of...

  19. who passed the PN exam? What studying material did you use?

    Hello_Pretty replied to chelseeg52's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine in 2015 and used Saunders and passed with 85 questions. I also had Kaplan but the questions were too hard do I didn't really use it but Kaplan rationales are great. The Kaplan decision...

  20. RN Ati comprehensive Predictor 2016

    Hello_Pretty replied to gamblerlens's topic in General Students

    I took the 2016 version this morning and got 76.7%. On the proctored practice A at the beginning of the semester I got 66%, then on proctored practice B towards the end of the semester I got 70% and...

  21. Pasadena PCC LVN to RN 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to valpal562's topic in School, College Programs

    Please do not attend PCC unless it is your only/lasy resort. It was the only place I applied to. Very little assistance for LVN career ladders, and we're often left confused and unsure of certain...

  22. Pasadena PCC LVN to RN 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to valpal562's topic in School, College Programs

    The director told us we'd have to purchase our books since they were not included ($295)... However someone managed to convince them to send us the books for free. But it was several months into the...

  23. RN Ati comprehensive Predictor 2016

    Hello_Pretty replied to gamblerlens's topic in General Students

    I know this is old, but how did you fare? Also, is there a focused review available after you take the comprehensive? Like if you didn't pass, you can do the focused review/remediation templates and...

  24. How common is time and a half after 8 hours?

    Hello_Pretty replied to dalsor's topic in California Nursing

    Well, looks like you made that move! I have heard from my preceptor that her old hospital pay a lower base rate ($28) for 8 hours then you get OT the last 4 hours, and her current hospital giving...

  25. Pasadena City College Fall 2017

    Hello_Pretty replied to cjprenurse's topic in California Nursing

    PCC school year starts and ends later than most schools, which is probably why you haven't heard back from them even after all the other schools have notified you. Don't give up
