Not sure if that's the one I just took or not, but the most recent one was what we covered 1st semester and 2nd semester.

i will pay on Wednesday, we need a system on how to locate each other on that day!. I'm excited but when I read all of the comments I am a little worried. It seems that almost 1 out of 2 don't make it through the program. That's pretty scary:eek:. My issue is that I have a full time job but during down times I will study like I did for the prerequisite courses which I did well in. For those of you who are LPN's you definitely have an advantage and I'm curious if the LPN's are the ones who are doing well in the nursing program.

Just study when you get the chance. You should do okay. Just try to start out strong and save any notes/highlighting you take for the mid terms and final.

Being an LPN helped somewhat. I believe there were 3 LPNs (including myself) who started the program back in the fall, but I THINK I'm the only one left but I'm not 100% sure.
