    EbonyWaltonEl replied to mzsuccess's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi, Mrs. Perez. Were you working as a CNA 3pm-11pm? If so, do you think that being at work helped reinforce what you were learning in the LVN program? Also, there was just a 30 minute gap of time. So,...

  5. LPN Moving to Southern California

    EbonyWaltonEl replied to cut3_cupcak3's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, but I'd recommend applying to place NOW. You don't want to move somewhere and not have a job lined up. Nursing homes are ALWAYS hiring CNAs/LVNs. It's LVN here btw. The pay is about $20-$25/hr...

  11. Everyone Won't Succeed. And That's Okay!

    EbonyWaltonEl replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I'm confused as to why you listed the items that those in poverty have. Was that to denote that they don't deserve the title of being impoverished or poverty stricken? The items that you listed are...
