1. You will lose your skills in LTC

   Quailfeathers replied to egglady's topic in Geriatric

   I just attended a seminar and one area of discussion was the notion that LTC/SNF nurses are just "nurses" without specialty which lead to defining who "we" are.....Gerontological Nurses. I LOVE that! It totally summaries what my background is coming...

7. $31,500...is that too much for a lpn program?

   Quailfeathers replied to trixiemunson's topic in LPN/LVN Students

8. Anyone 40 Or Older Starting A Lvn Program??

   Quailfeathers replied to shalamar's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I just finished nursing school and will be 55 yo this month. It was a two year p/t program. I was the oldest in the class and I believe older than most, if not all, my instructors. Attitude and a desire is all you need.
