really excited, graduation is just around the corner. im about to apply to an rn program and hopefully i get accepted. lpn school is tough but if u stay focused you can do it. i had lots of curveballs thrown at me & plenty of times when i cryed for hours but never wanted to quit. i remember looking on this website a ittle over a year ago and thinking i cant wait to get into a nursing program. first i went to school for medical assistant and never found a job, now its lpn and next rn, im not stopping!!! im almost 28 and even while in the 1st quarter of lpn school on the quizzes i took, i saw people score higher than me that were younger than me and in the beginning it discouraged me, i always was thinking, im older, so i should know more. but you really have to transition into thinking critically. You see only pieces of a picture and u have to put them together, it takes time. I had family members telling me- you know we arent good in math and science so don't set yourself up for failure!! i took two test and passed and then applied to lpn school 3 weeks before it started and i got in!! I struggled through a&p 1&2, and math, but i went to tutoring for all 3 classes and now im about to graduate!!!! I'm so proud of myself. Hopefully this touches someone and they reach for their goals and dreams. It's really nice hearing someone say thank you for helping them and even the patients who arent nice, i still feel like i'm making a difference in their lives :)

CONGRATZ!!

I am on the same route that you were on. I just finished a medical assistant program and now i'm starting LPN and it is very tough!!! but i now that i will get through it!! Good Luck on the RN program, i was told that it was a breeze after LPN!

Congrats!!!! Hopefully I will get in the lpn program Im applying too. Thanks for the encouraging words, makes me not wanna give up!
