  1. Looking for a good path

    banbhat posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Ok, I already decided to leave the food industry and go back to healthcare. I'm slated to start an LVN program that runs all of 2017. I can't jump right into an RN program for cost reasons. So, what...

  2. Paying for school and work

    banbhat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, out of necessity, will have to pay out-of-pocket for school. Because of this, I am looking at applying to ADN programs. Fortunately, they're pretty inexpensive here in TX. Now until I leave my...

  3. Paying for school and work

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Jersey Village, HouTx. I do not have any eligibility for aid. Trust me on that one. Long

  4. HCC LVN program 2016

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I am irritated with this school now. I've been asking about a course equivalency since January. The program director said I'd hear from her in April. It's the middle of May. I keep leaving messages...

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    Everyone there should be fired. DSJ on

  6. Looking for a good path

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Men in Nursing

    I worked as a CNA II in skilled nursing facilities and a prison. I had to drop LPN school to move out of state. I'm

  7. Looking for a good path

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes, you're probably right. I worry so much because I think about taking care of my family, my age and the smoothest (not necessarily fastest)

  8. Which path

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm a guy too. As far as schools go, to each their own. Lone Star and HCC make better financial sense to

  9. Which path

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I live in Houston and have a school dilemma. I can go to HCC for LVN starting August 2016 through August 2017. Otherwise start the ADN at Lone Star in January 2017 through June 2018. Conventional...

  10. Which path

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well with my bonus paying the full tuition at HCC or Lone Star I am only considering those two. I do have lower classes done but I refuse to go in debt when I don't have to. I'm not sure why or how...

  11. No RN program this year at HCC

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have my eyes on the program at Lone Star. I hear good things. Right now I'm in A&P I. Initially I was going after the LVN program at HCC but I was getting tired of the run-around. I believe I...

  12. No RN program this year at HCC

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Did anyone know why? I was just told there wouldn't be an ADN class this year. So I'm thinking of Lone Star. Honestly, I wanted to test my chances of Fall admissions. Who has the latest application...

  13. I'm so ready

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I do have a few questions about navigating the waters of nursing school, family and (God help me) work. I'm so ready to do this and my motivation is clamoring for matter dinner snacks. How often does...

  14. San Jac North LVN vs HCC LVN program

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    San Jac North's program starts in May and runs through May of next year. HCC is August to June. I see that the end times are close but start a month apart. Does anyone have a first-hand view of which...

  15. San Jac North LVN vs HCC LVN program

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah. Parking across the street is costly. Or I spend that money on my EZ Pass. It's like a wash to

  16. I'm making the jump

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I've decided to apply to the soonest-starting LVN program in Houston. That is San Jac. Now, I live in Jersey Village and the program is at the North campus some 35 miles away off the Beltway. It is...

  17. I'm making the jump

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    I want to start so bad that I'm going out of district. My district is Lone Star. I cannot wait for this. My boys are 2. If I start this path now I can be on my way to RN before elementary school....

  18. I'm so ready

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you, OnOn2RN for sharing that I'm not in that boat alone. Some of the most successful people in history got there by not having backup plans. I've been told you don't work as hard when you have...

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. But I can't afford to keep putting this

  20. I'm making the jump

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know LVN's are being phased out (of hospitals only) but it's my step out of the restaurant business and I'm taking it. CNA school had the same thing about not missing class/clinicals. Yes, it's...

  21. Any encouragement is welcome

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm making a bold move. I'm leaving a job as a restaurant manager making $49k. I work about 55-70 hours a week between 5am-1am. I was offered a Patient Care Assistant (kids ward) at a local hospital....

  22. Any encouragement is welcome

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    Pinay, the point is to survive until I finish nursing school. I've been a union electrician. Just not what I

  23. LVN interview request

    banbhat replied to banbhat's topic in Texas Nursing

    I understand. I was looking to speak to a nurse 1-on-1. Definitely not online. It isn't for homework, the LVN program I applied to requires

  24. LVN interview request

    banbhat posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    If anyone is interested in being interviewed let me know. As a small token of my appreciation, I can give a gift card to a popular casual dining restaurant (hint: it's

  25. How old are you?
