1. Thinking of having a baby while in LPN school

   amonroe457 replied to malloryg's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   To be brutally honest, it sounds like a very dumb idea! LPN school is hard enough not being pregnant, why would you want to put even more on your plate? I couldn't even imagine being pregnant and having to do a clinical, they're ever labor intensive....

2. Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

   It’s very hard to be declared an independent student when you’re under 24. Whether your parents claim you or not on their taxes doesn’t matter. Both of my children had a dependent status on their FASFA when they were under 24 regardless of the fac...

   amonroe457 replied to amonroe457's topic in CNA/MA

   Sorry, about posting peoples names =X I'm starting an LPN program in September and I figured it would be good if I got a little CNA experience first. All the other programs at vocational/community colleges in the area are full until fall. This place...

   Are you attending OCVTS for your LPN? I came up with the same projected price for the program if you are. I'm from NJ too and planning on starting the program in September. I came to this site a few days ago to find some info on the same thing... I'm...
