   [COLOR=#003366]mrsoly2010 - This is the same situation I am in, except I started when I was 20 with pre-reqs. It's hard because I would have just graduated with my BSN this spring at 21 years old if I would have just figured it out sooner, but I am ...

9. I want to be an LPN but I am scared of nursing school!

   jilly_beans posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I love the idea of working in a clinic, I always have. I have admired the CMAs/LPNs that take vitals and all that good stuff before you see the doctor. I finally have the opportunity to pursue nursing school BUT... I am so scared! I used to be very ...
