How did you get this information? it seems like July 5-25 schedule will have a lot of competition. Good luck to all of us!

Did your friend share how many questions there are? and what the questions are about?

Oh it made sense to me now. Thanks for clarifying this to me. [emoji16][emoji106]🏼

Wait is there any difference between LVN and LPN? Have heard of LPN, but I thought it is another term for LVN.

SquishyRN, I also think new grad LVNs here in SD make about $20 per hour as entry salary. And thanks for your suggestion also. I was just hesitating to accept the RN route because there is one program at CSUSM called LVN-to-BSN where the state can provide grants, not like the routes ive mentioned in my previous comment. (I dont think there is a LVN-to-MSN route. I havent heard about such). :/ Mmmm. But yah. I dont want to wait any longer before everything is too late. Plus, I have no idea if LVN-to-BSN route is also as competitive as the traditional one ...and how many students they can accept per year for this particular route.

Did you get accepted into one RN program yet? Also, if you dont mind me asking, which BSN program is this? Which school is this? I think many hospitals would hire BSN degree holders and more especially with people who have some experience in the field :/ so I think option 2 is the best...? It's just my opinion. I havent heard of LVNs working at a hospital now too.

From what ive heard at the facility where i currently work at, 20 is the entry-level salary. I also have heard of 18 (but in a different county). I would really want to know though how much new grad LVNs make. I am a CNA. I got accepted into three RN programs here in SoCal, but I was also thinking about doing LVN first because many RN-to-BSN and RN-to-MSN programs are self-support based tuition fees, not state-support. Any pieces of advice or suggestions?
