  1. Feeling the Clinical Failure...

    OliverElio87 replied to RNonymous's topic in General Students

    I think everybody goes through that awkward stage as a student. Personally, what helped me the most was becoming a patient care tech. It taught me how to manage basic nursing tasks fairly well and it...

  2. Enrollment Counselor not responding

    OliverElio87 replied to Clear Gummy Bear's topic in Western Governors University

    I can honestly say that the actions of EC do not reflect how the actual prelicensure program is ran. For the most part, my time with the program have been positive, in regards to faculty and staff, so...

  3. National University science courses??

    OliverElio87 replied to nursehajduk's topic in School, College Programs

    Well I think those classes in general are harder than most classes because that's the nature of them. However, you can check ratemyprofessor and see what other students have said about the professor...

  4. National University science courses??

    OliverElio87 replied to nursehajduk's topic in School, College Programs

    I know a couple of my friends who took their pre-reqs at national university. It's regionallly accredited so you should have no problem transferring classes to any college. The only downside is the...

  5. Can I get an advice for LVN to RN program?

    OliverElio87 replied to korea's topic in LPN to RN

    The WGU pelicensure program allows anyone to apply. Plenty of LvN apply to the program. WGU does not have an ADN, but they have a BSN. Why spend 2 years getting an ADN when you can get a BSN around...

  6. Can I get an advice for LVN to RN program?

    OliverElio87 replied to korea's topic in LPN to RN

    I would look into WGU (that's where I go). The program is offered in the LA and OC area and also in Dallas Tx. I think it's easier to get in the Texas cohorts and Ca I more competitive. Someone in my...

  7. Western Governors WGU Pre-Licensure California 2017

    OliverElio87 replied to ITSAFULLMOON's topic in Western Governors University

    Everyone in my cohort went on to the clinical portion. Just make sure you do everything that is required in the pre-term portion (finishing all classes, getting your immunizations up to date,...

  8. Western Governors WGU Pre-Licensure California 2017

    OliverElio87 replied to ITSAFULLMOON's topic in Western Governors University

    Yea, all my coaches def. allowed me to do hands on work right away. I learn more by doing so that has been very helpful. You also have your labs and skills check-off before every clinical so that is...

  9. Western Governors WGU Pre-Licensure California 2017

    OliverElio87 replied to ITSAFULLMOON's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm in the program now and only being with the RN 1-to-1, in my opinion, is the best thing about the program. I work for a hospital as a tech and a community college rotates at that hospital and...

  10. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    OliverElio87 replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    I was sitting for a pediatric patient last week and the mom brought up politics. I told her "I don't really listen to the news much, I am too busy with nursing school". If I wasn't in nursing school,...

    OliverElio87 replied to OliverElio87's topic in Western Governors University

    They have virtual labs, which were actually very good and really mimics in-person

  13. Alternative to Straighterline (prelicensure program)

    OliverElio87 posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I did straighterline to apply for the prelicensure program, but I also utilized Edukan to do my Anatomy and Physiology with Lab. I would advise prospective prelicensure students to check out Edukan...

  15. Straighterline courses as prereqs

    OliverElio87 replied to lapinjapan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Very good experience. Wish I had known about them

  16. Straighterline courses as prereqs

    OliverElio87 replied to lapinjapan's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would do Edukan. The community colleges they partner with are regionally accredited which should transfer to other colleges. Also, the lab for Edukan is virtual so you don't need to purchase other...

  17. Freaking out over probable failed pre-employment drug test. Desperate for any advice.

    OliverElio87 replied to Throwaway7's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This is not to enable anyone from doing substances, but isn't the use of recreational marijuana now legal in CA? If it is legal how can you be stripped of your certification?...

  18. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    OliverElio87 replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    It's probably a good thing that you were paired up with a CNA. So when you're an RN you should have more empathy towards them and what they contribute to the team. IMO, every nursing program should...

  20. 1hr Drive to Nursing School

    OliverElio87 replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    You get used to the commute. I take the time to listen to lecture videos that might have to do with what we're learning. For example, my school will give us topics we need to review before lab and I...

    OliverElio87 replied to akint19's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a PCT, and also a nursing student, and the hospital I work at some units do not do their initial assessment. I was so astonished. Whenever I am a sitter at these floors, the only time you...

  22. Health dilemma + school clinicals = what to do??

    OliverElio87 replied to Amandaagain's topic in General Students

    I would start nursing school because some schools might not allow you to defer your acceptance. Once you already started the program and need to withdraw for health reasons, and in good standing, they...

  23. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    OliverElio87 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing
