SOOO I'm a single mom of 6 working as a CNA and want to start LPN school. I don't know how I'm going to do this but I really want to to do this. I will not have any support, is it possible for someone like me to do this. Is there anyone in my shoes..or know of any info of any kind. ALso I would have to work while I'm going to school. I'm working now on Nightshift.
Welcome to Allnurses! I'm 29 too and the mother to four children (10, 6, 3 and newborn), so I know how overwhelmed you might feel.
I live in PA, too. I'm about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh. Where are you? I'm set to start a part time evening/weekend program next March at Lenape in Kittanning. It might take me two years to get my LPN, but I'll still get there

It was nice to meet you!
