What are my options?

I originally went to to a community college to get my RN, but I did not make it through the 3rd semester. My director however did sign me off to become a LVN, because I met the equivalency set by the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychatric Technicians (BVNPT), because of the year and a half that I spent studying to be a RN. But it looks like that my schooling did not completely cover the required time needed in order to get my LVN. I need 5.2 more months in a Med surg setting in order to fulfill the 48 needed in Med Surg. Please help, I just dont know what to do. Can I go to a LVN school to get that time and not go through the entire program or is there a volunteer thing I can do? I am a CNA right now, but its impossible to get a job in a hosital setting right now that would cover the time needed for me.

I am just very frustrated that nothing seems to be working out right now. Any help will be very appreciated

    I would try to contact both boards to see what your options are. Since you failed out of the 3rd semester of RN school, you might want to try to reapply to other RN programs in your area as an advance placement student. All the LVN-RN programs I'm applying too all have a section for advance placement students and those are the ones who finished part of the RN program. So you might want to try that too. Hope this helps and good luck. PS I'm in California too
