I am currently going to school for a medical assistant and I will be through in November. I was wondering if anyone has attended WCJC LVN or RN programs? Is it really tough to get in? Is there a waiting list? What are the qualifications? Any advice w...

I was offered an agency position prn for a medsurg floor. I have 6 months of medsurg experience. Should I wait till I gain a year experience before I consider the position?

It is one particular hospital I would go to.

It is one hospital in particular. This is the only hospital I would go to.

Thank you for the reply. I do feel confident but should I be skeptical of the agency willing to hire me with 6 months of experience? Should I have insurance?

I received my letter in the mail monday and I have been accepted to the LVN program at WCJC. I am so excited to begin school. I was so anxious. To all of you still waiting I know how you feel believe me but the letter will come. I thank every one for...

I was initially going for LVN but everyone is telling me to do RN. I am a unit secretary at a hospital for telemetry floor. Any advice would be appreciated. How long would it take me to finish prerequisites?

How much do you get paid hourly because like you said I could always work while getting my RN.

Has anyone attended WCJC for their LVN or RN? Was it difficult? I have an 8 month old so I have quite decided when to go back to nursing school.

I was offered a fulltime position as a unit secretary today and I accepted. I'm so happy and ready to gain as much experience as I can! Just thought I'd share

It's going great. I am learning a great deal and everyone is so helpful. I ask the nurses questions about labs or tests being done so that I know whats going on with the patients. I hope that it really helps me when I go to LVN school. Thank you for ...

I have an interview on monday for a unit secretary position? Has anyone worked as a unit secretary? If so, did you enjoy the job? What were you required to do and what were you paid? thanks in advance.

I am considering reapplying to the same nursing school that I attended before. I passed the first semester but I had to withdraw due to my father having a stroke. I know, I know, I kick my self all the time because I should have stayed! Anyhow, I wou...

I have an interview on Monday for a unit secretary for a medsurg floor and I was wondering what are you're responsibilities ? Thanks

Thanks for all the feedback, very helpful? I forgot to ask in the first post? What were you being paid. This position is supplemental so I dont really know what to expect.

I am considering reapplying to Wharton County Junior College Vocational nursing program. I went there a few years back but had to withdraw after passing the first semester due to my father having a stroke. Do you think if I were to reapply this Augus...

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I hope that I get in too.

I'm curious as to how you document what you have done like giving injection or taking vitals? Does any one have any examples? Thanks:)

Yes, it does help. Thank you so much!:nuke:

Just curious. I see posts about help with careplans for nursing school assignments, but do you have to do the careplans once you are an LVN or RN?

I am planning on going to nursing school for my LVN. I've searched the forum and what I gather is that nursing school is very time consuming. My problem is how to study. Do you do flashcards, outlines of chapter or anything else?

Thank you guys for the information. I hope I do well once I am in nursing school.
