juicebys · Aug 6, 2005

Hello,

I am a older student myself (39), going into the LPN program this fall(05).

I Have work as a CNA the past three years and have obtain a great deal of knowledge of the healthfield. I do command you for staying focus on ur goals of becoming a LPN. Most programs here in the great state of Illinois required that you have or are a CNA first. Well good luck to you in your endeavors.

Mr. Illinois

I missed the cut to enter this fall in the LPN Program (top of list for next fall '06) They are offering Patient Care Technician (nurse assistant, EKG, Phlobotomy) which concludes May '06. I'd appreciate any and all advice pros/cons on this subject. Should I invest the time and money? Will the knowledge I gain help me as a LPN? Have any you taken this program or any others before becoming a LPN? As you can see I have many questions so don't hesitate to elaborate further. Also, I have been out of school 25+ years, I will more than likley be the oldest in the class. Thanks.

Education is never wasted. Take the class and don't lose sight of your goals!

Yes, I would suggest that you take the PCT class. Also, why don't you look into applying for an RN program?
