*BELIEVING LPN IS THE CAREER FOR ME*
Right now am 21 years old and never had a grand or ok life. I have decided as of today to go and try my best to be a LPN. I don't mind taking care of others and even though life has not been great for me I still have a caring heart. I also like the idea of feeling safe knowing that nursing will always be needed.
*WHY I AM IN A RUSH TO BECOME ONE*
I live with family, one single parent, a 14 year old and a 3 year old and last a 15 year old. I have grown up fatherless, one who cares less about me and only seen me twice in his life because I searched for him, all of my step fathers (four) were rude and/or abusive to my mom and me, I had it even worse in middle school, the out cast of the public system. Kids picked on me, threw things at me......which made me mute and in turn teachers have me down as slow ect. My mom herself has a huge anger problem people have seen in the public eye. he has kicked down my whole door off over something very small, she has called me names from the bible like B@stard or a b ect. and ugly, but when she is calm we get a long.........now that she had a child later on she feels its my job to watch her as she works or have fun. This is why I need to be out of her by next year, the whole family has problems and its more to it, but don't want to type for hours.
*COLLEGE PROBLEMS*
At the moment am in college...shocking yes

I am still trying to get my aide together so they want drop my classes again, I have appeal to bring............I dropped three claases one term out of depression because of family. I hope they give me one more chance........problem is I need to get my aide back and drop out of college and go straight to LPN school. Now if I get my aide it may go straight to paying for my classes and then I have to stay there another term missing out of LPN school................what should I do??
*FEW QUESTIONS*
1) Is the interest test really that hard?
2) My math is 5th grade level, my grammer typing skills...as you can see is very low. Do I still stand a chance of passing the interest test?
3) I heard LPN school itself is hard, but ready to give it all I got or am stuck in this family and have other means of getting out of it forever if I fail...........but how hard is hard? What subjects do you study?
4) How do LPNs find work? Is it kinda tough since everyone these days are having a hard time finding work (like myself) and being laid off?
5) What are the best states to work as a LPN? I live in FLorida
6) Please offer any advice you have to offer.
*IN NEED OF COMFORTING*
What can I do to ease my mind about failing?
The interest test and the final LPN test?
*Sorry for such a long post!
