   BlkQueen8 replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

   This term I have the CI from HELL! She calls in all the time so we end up with different subs that are great teachers but most of them don't know the facility or the students. Are are not familiar with our daily routine so they take it from our act...

2. What to expect?!

   BlkQueen8 replied to S0CalLVN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   My goal was originally to become a PA but once I got started researching the local schools in my area had wait list so I switched to nursing and went to a vocational school to become a LVN. Now I want to be a NP. Look into it and see what you think...

6. Can't Pass NCLEX, So What Jobs Can I Get With My Nursing Degree?

   BlkQueen8 replied to eutawville11's topic in Career

   I'm sorry so many were so disparaging but I hope you don't give up. Anyway, I could imagine if you go into healthcare with your experience your BSN (if that's what you have) would be very valuable.

7. Which is easier - LPN or RN?

   BlkQueen8 replied to Jmiami's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Although my program is part-time, I still feel like I'm not retaining anything. We are in class half the time that the full-time students are but we still just swallow the info and regurgitate it for the test. I believe the ATI will be handy for ...

   Hi Fcat, Congrats on getting into the program. No I'm not a seventh day adventist I just really like their program. Although I've always wanted to go to a christian college so hopefully I can go to either Loma Linda or Azusa pacific university. Lo...

9. WGU pre licensure program

13. Thoughts on WGU

    BlkQueen8 replied to Ziglar1's topic in Western Governors

    I'm currently in the beginning process of acceptance for WGU. My understand is that the 3.0 gpa is on a scale of 3.0 instead of the traditional 4.0. Loma Linda University will recongize and accept the BSN from WGU which is where I'd like to go some...

14. Which is easier - LPN or RN?

    BlkQueen8 replied to Jmiami's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I think it depends on the type of program you take if it's full-time or part-time. I'm in a vocational LVN program PT and yes it's very easy to balance our life and still work full-time. I believe my school is starting an ADN program and if they of...
