    Attractive Students Being Hired First

    HeartsOpenWide replied to bioniclewoman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    if i finished L.V.N course what degree would that be??

    HeartsOpenWide replied to princess007's topic in General Nursing

    None. My guess is if you had one you would know. And you would get a degree. At least in my state (CA) LVN is not a degree unless you complete the GE requirements (i.e. you can graduate with your LVN...

    HeartsOpenWide replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    They are going to allow those already enrolled to continue. We might not have the best economy but nursing is one of the last economy and it appears to be dying too. As I said in another post, the...
