Fall 2012 lpn classes

Philly_LPN_Girl, LPN · Jul 28, 2012

I start Lincoln Technical Institute in Center City August 8th

My program is a 1 yr program

I am becoming an LPN because I applied to Northeastern Hospital School of Nursing twice and was denied, the first time in 2010 because my GPA was too low and this year because I failed the Teas V test by 1 point I think I couldn't concentrate because I was 3 weeks away from my due date. I got turned down by Community College of Philadelphia of this year because I scored a high score on the NET but, because others had higher scores they got chosen first and I didn't want to put my career on hold any longer so I have decided to become an LPN and then do my RN online at Excelsior online which is better for me anyway so that I am able to work. Then I would later like to either become a Nurse Practitioner or a Nurse Anesthetist.

My program is $27,000 its a lot of money BUT, I have to do what I have to do to start my career I am 24 years of age with 2 children I want to provide a good life for them, depending on food stamps for my family to eat and or living pay check to pay check is not an option for me nor will it be in my future.

1: what date you start/ school name

Started January 2012 @ CTC

2: how long is your program

1 year - I graduate December 2012 woohoo!!

3: why are you becoming an lpn..

I was denied x2 for one RN program and I am 1 class short to apply to the other RN program so I decided to go LVN and not waste anymore time. I am applying to bridge in Feb. 2013 and I am praying I get accepted (depending on graduating and passing boards of course)

I haven't done anything as I one don't have any books and second I wouldn't want to overwhelm myself before class starts. I have one week before class starts and I just want to relax before I start!
