Finished my ADN!

I have been an LPN for 6 years now. Here is my RN school story. I started my nursing journey in the summer of 2011 and got pregnant a few months later and failed a class in my first term. It was an online math class. I retook it and passed. I was doing great and got to the third term of my program and was taking four classes and was about to have my baby. Sadly I failed yet another class. I was dismissed due to the second class failure. I was devastated. I tried to get back in using my pregnancy as the reason. They denied me. I just decided to focus on my new family. So come the end of 2013 I was talking to a friend of mine who was going through the program. She said the college had made many changes and I should reapply. I did and started back last spring. I was able to retake my class I failed and kicked butt the rest of my program. I took my last final yesterday and found out today I passed. I get pinned Friday which is also mine and my son's birthday. :D I am so excited. Hope my story inspires you all to follow your dreams no matter how long they take to come true!

    Relocate for what? School or a job? I am not sure what you mean. I am not in school anymore. I graduated with my ADN over a year ago. I am working as an LPN now and still trying to get my RN license. I have no plans to move now, maybe in a few years. I do not plan to do BSN right now. I work for a homecare company now and they could care less if I have a BSN. I went to a non profit school and it was hard, but I made it. You have to study and find out what works best for you. That's as best I can answer your question.

    I should have clarified how was hondoras for the adn I was thinking about moving out there and I was looking at the program.. Also do you know the current salary for an Lpn in or near Columbus

    I thought Hondros was a decent program. It's very expensive and I know I will have debt, but I have a 4 year old with lots of disabilities and waiting to get into a program at one of the community colleges wasn't what I wanted. I know they changed the classes around right after I graduated so idk how they are now. Your best bet if you are really interested in going is to go to an information session or open house. That's what I did and it made my decision easier. You have to pass an exit ATI to graduate, so be prepared for that. And you can work just about anywhere. I don't plan to do a hospital job now because I love my homecare setting and as I stated in my last post they don't really care I just have an ADN. I wanna pay some school debt down, pass the NCLEX_RN and then get my BSN. I hope this helps and good luck to you :D
