Reason why I would also ask whether or not meals can be deducted is as follows: travel in vehicle all day from client to client l, unable to reheat food while in car, unable to keep cool for hours.

Oh well in that case you have it made!!! Getting into classes for your pre-req is hard but you have the classes you need to apply so you will be fine. I took pre-req too many years ago they will only take your sciences under 5 years old if any longer you need to retake those classes :/. No I havent where did you buy the study guide from? You need to pass HESI A2 and HESI PN Exit Exam to get in.

Well not "TONS" of LTC only 4, Im a Yuman. If you have any questions just shoot. It is a very competative market, hardly any LPN's left and the college here and the one in Cali turn out RN's every single semester so its overpopulated, every other women in this town is a nurse. Getting into the college is even harder to finish your Rn, been trying to go back for a couple of semesters and classes are always full. Sorry to sound so negative and discouraging but its hard to find a job around here. Good luck

I did the LVN program thru Concorde 10 years ago in San Diego and other than working weekneds I have no idea where you could work. Our classes where Monday-Fri depending what days we had clinicals. Hours were 8-5 pm and clinical days 630-3pm. Good luck not stop at that, I still cant go back to school and finish my RN .

I went to Concorde Career College back in 2004-2005 and paid alot of money for LVN program, at that time I needed to get into a program fast and community college took too long and I needed to make $$ soon. I had compared the cost to Maric now Kaplan and Concorde was cheaper and their passing score for nclex was higher than Kaplan. I paid around $20,000, still 5 years later still owe alot of money but in the end it was worth it for me and my family.

5 years experience in LTC $28.00/hr in arizona

I need to vent out and need feed back if I'm wrong. The recaps have been assaigned to all the nurses that work my hall, being divided by room numbers. It's our responsability to make sure ours are done, checked and rechecked. Transposing any new orders the MAR's don't have so on and so forth. Anyways this am I found several aroung 10 recpas from different nurses that were incorrect. I mentioned this to the NEW ADON, former floor LPN. She said OH Well you found it you fix it. I replied that is not fair we all have to carry our own weight. She said OK. Well before my shift was over and while I was giving report she paged me, proceeded to say did you update the recaps, I said NO, I said "I told you that was not fair", She replied I don't care you found them you will fix them before you leave today. 5 minutes before my time was up or else she would write me up. That darn :angryfire I'm I right? I was so tempeted to tell her were she could put her job!!!!!!!!!

I hope you guys are right. Our family's future is riding on me passing, no pressure. I need to get a job now that we're expecting, we'll need the money. My friends are way more optimistic than I'm.

I took my NCLEX on Saturday and shut off at 85 questions. What are the posssibilities of failing at minimum questions? I read a post of someone who took it twice and failed twice at 85 questions. I'm getting sick to my stomach. HELP!

Wow, that is low. I figured just like here LTC pays better but I don't want to do that. Well thanks for your input

I currently graduated as an LVN in Agust, will be taking my boards in a week and half. I grew up in Yuma but currently living in San Diego. My husband and I decided we will be relocating to the Phoenix area this summer without a doubt. My question what is the pay rate for LPN? My best opportunity for higher pay would be where? Thanks in advance for the help

Vit B-12 injections are IM. I know because I've been giving them to myself for a couple of weeks for neuropathy. Hope this helps. I use a 22 gauge, 1 inch syringe.
