Graduating today

Specializes in none yet.

well my long journey has not come to an end but is just now beginning, today is graduation for me and I'm so excited and blessed to be here. My program was a year long, for the first trimester it was M-F 8am-3:30pm and the school was a hour away from me the second trimester was M-F 7am-3:30pm two days out of the week and 8am-3:30pm the last two sometimes that Friday. When the second trimester hit my husband had to go to Iraq for 8 months and I have 4 kids so I became difficult being a single mom of 4 kids with no family here with me to help. But I say if I can do it anyone can and a week before my graduation my dear husband came back safely so he will be there rooting me on tonight. Thank you all for listen and remember you all can do anything you set your minds to. :)

I have a question..at your program can you just go through the lpn/lvn program w/o getting a degree? so when your done you can just challenge the boards?

No you have to complete the program and graduate or they wont send your transcripts over to the state boards so that you can test.

Congrats to you! And thank you for posting this. I am HAPPY your husband made it home safe and thank him for all of us Americans :)

I am starting a program in November that is a year long as well, I have a 4 month old son to take care of (His father and I are still together but we arent living together because I am in a different city for school) You inspired me and I know I can go to school and take care of him. Again congrats and I thank your husband for protecting us.
