I've been accepted in the LVN program at local community college. I've hit a few roadblocks and have had to clear so many hurdles to prepare for this. The past couple of months, I have had to remedy a background check with the BON nearly preventing me from entering the program (cleared that), deal with costly immunization updates, titers, etc., and NOW, my financial aid is suspended just two weeks before class begins, not to mention the summer course must be paid in full by next week! I'M HAVING A MELTDOWN! I get this uneasy feeling that I will lose my opportunity due to financial aid. I know its still the weekend, and come Monday I must sort this out. I am feeling a sense of loss. I have worked so hard to get to this point for it all to be swept away.

Down and out :(

thank you very much! i started classes this week, things are going pretty smooth. i'm very grateful to have secured my seat in the lvn program. during introductions, i made sure everyone knew... lol good luck with your endeavors in nursing! godspeed!!! :D

Don't feel too bad. Even though I was accepted into VTC's LPN program for this coming fall (2011), I had to defer enrollment until next fall, due to too little financial aid. I have applied for TONS of scholarships and have not received anything. :(

I made the mistake of thinking that my hard work (4.0 the last 2 semesters - taking CHEMISTRY I&II), dedication (took a LNA course WHILE taking college courses), and come-back from a near-fatal car accident & surgery to fix my hip would HELP ME. Nope. Oh well. I have waited this long, I figure I can wait another year. I just hope that I can save up enough money from working as a LNA/CNA for next year.
