Hello ladies! I'm the sole male in my class about to graduate from a local LPN


program.


I was searching for transition (LPN to RN) info when I stumbled onto this site. There does seem to be some helpful discussion here that should help us all.

A little background:

I'm old. Like 42 years old. I was an NDE inspector for about 20 years and provided for my family to include my two sons College education funds. My wife of 19 years (Bless this Saintly woman) has decided to accept financial responsibility to allow me to follow a dream. So we sold all the "stuff" we didn't own and got ourselves debt free and I was accepted into the local program.

Now I find that all the transition programs here are of considerable distance from my house (Maryville TN) so I'm looking for an online with clinical option.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks!

DV
