Saunders is not thin but you redeem the code in Evolve and take practice test when you buy the book new. The code is included in the book. The book has questions also as it gives a better picture of the topics.
Also here is the study guide. If y...

I just finished Med Surg 1 and this is my 2 take on it and I passed.
The 2 new professors did way more than the previous professors who gave us nothing to work towards. They lectured and left us to guess what our exams would be about.
Our 2...

If you are starting Feb 5th you have until May before the last day to complete your clinicals. You should start requesting your days when the semester starts. You give them your days and they schedule you. They will tell you how many days you will ne...
MrsDean2022 replied to beautynursing's topic in School Programs
You won't schedule clinicals for each semester until that semester starts. So you will give availability during that semester for the required days and if available they will schedule you and send confirmation. So you have the first day of the semes...

Mostly nursing home and assisted living but they have aquires hospitals so those are available as well. I noticed that they use the hospitals for the more advanced students. Not sure how to include email. They hid my message when I tried to send.

Hey there,
Yeah, I was searching for a school I could attend while working for a long until a friend told me about ICHS and having friends who graduated from there, so I gave it a go.
If all goes well, I graduate next January. I am doing 1 ...

Hello,
Yes! I just got my call back as of right now and She said ICHS was cleared last year from the Review and is good with them. They have no further investigation or issues going with ICHS. She relayed there may have been the way question ...

Thank you. I am going into MS2 next month. I wanted to hear from anyone most recent. Congratulations on your licensing.
I did send a message to the BRN and will call Monday to hear from them.

What I give is exactly what it is.
Being that you are not a student, I understand you do not want to join the school off of what you hear from past students. Everything I have said is actually what it is. So please instead of trying to spread n...

I will call them myself because as a student I would have already gotten this information so I will ask myself about endorsing our license after we recieve our Florida License which is the proper way to do it.
MrsDean2022 replied to HapaNurse610's topic in School Programs
I am a current student. This has not been announced to us. But when you graduate from a school outside of California, you get your license in that schools state so YES you will still get your license. You only endorce to California. So if this perso...

Sweet. I'm 50 and it is hard. They definitely do not make it easy to get through. You can choose to do the fulltime 2 classes a semester or extend your time by doing 1 class a semester.
I retook Pharm and now retaking Med Surg 1 due to a horribl...

What do you mean?
If you are LVN trying to take the Fundamentals and Pharmacology Advanced Placement, exams are by HESI. They go strictly off your knowledge as a LVN. No materials to study.
For Pharmacology Class, You have your textbook and...
MrsDean2022 replied to HapaNurse610's topic in School Programs
Some LVNs in my class did HESI practice test since we use HESI at this school.
For the class you will do dosage calc. Plenty of it, learn the meds for the different body systems and illnesses and do drug cards. Get use to the drug classes...

Oh I was asking dgonzales. Because ICHS doesn't have an entrance test. I was curious if they actually took the Advanced Placement for LVNs. They can take a Fundamentals and Pharmacology Exam to skip the First Semester
