Failed lpn school after 9 months ...

Published

I attend a lpn program but failed after 9 months the program was an 11 month program. So this was hard blow to take. But I have since taken classes at a community college. I want to reaply to the program that I failed I will have to start from the begining. Would you stay at the community college and conti. I am about 4 years away from finshing since i need to take classes part time. But if I would get accepted back to this school (that i Failed out of ) I would be done in the most 3. I will be bridgeing for the my rn..... I would have to drop down hours at my work, find full time care for my son and just get it done. And to tell ya the truth I cam scared to death! thanks!

It's whatever works best for you and your situation. The shorter route sounds like a good idea, if you can make it work for your schedule. I'm not sure that you've given us enough info to say go one way or the other. If cutting back work hours and finding full time daycare for your son is going to be a huge hardship for you, then maybe waiting the extra year for your degree may not be a bad idea either ;)

my mind is going in a totally different direction here... if it will take you four years to become an lpn, then bridge to become an rn, or even four years for both, wouldn't it make a heckuva lot more sense to use the knowledge you gained doring your nine month period in lpn school and challenge rn-level courses using clep, and then transition to an a.d.n. program. talk to an admissions person as well as a financial aid person at two or three nearby colleges or universities to find out what courses you need to challenge or take to have the necessary pre-reqs to apply. plus, you'll what money is available to help you. i'm not putting the lpn program down. i'm just trying to save you time.
