I'm just wondering, it could be for LPN or RN, how old you were when you completed nursing school. Thank you!
I was 24 when I graduated from an Accelerated BSN program.
i can see that - like i said, i was curious about the route taken by the person who said they got their BSN at 20. a BSN takes more time than LPN.
Got my BSN @ 20... in philippines we have 2 years of preparatory class 6-7yrs old then you go to elementary and graduate @ 12 years old got to Highschool for 4 years then graduate @ 16, then go to 4 years of college degree then you graduate @ 20 years old with your bachelors or whatever course :)
we go to school everyday from JUNE to DECEMBER. a little chrstmas break then back to school jan 3rd until end of march then summer then back to school again. most of elementary and highschool classes runs from 6 am to 4 30 pm so pretty much we spend half of our life going to school.
in college you have to take full courses or you'll be left behind. when you start 2nd year of nursing you have your summer classes too. so pretty much we don't work until we graduate from college.

Yup. I grew up outside the US, too, and the school system was similar to what she ^^ said. That is why I had my BSN and RN by 20.
