I Did Not Make It Into LVN School...Again

[Puddin2day]

I did not make it into the LVN program at Hacienda La Puente CAD School again. I was so disappointed not only in myself but the entire process itself.

During the Pre-LVN class the school administration added two additional tests (one was medical terminology and the other was questions on a nursing essay). There was no indication regarding the medical terminology. Also, they reduced the time allotted to complete all of the tests from 25 mins to 15 mins and raised the entry score from 83 to 93.

So after a good cry, I am at a crossroads. Should I use the WIA funds to get my CNA/HHA training and work as a CNA and go back for my RN or should I return to the corporate world and still pursue my RN?

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi again!! Oh I didn't know that about the Rn. Never had the thought is even make it that far lol. I'm scared because I am not smart enough and have bad memory. So I'm afraid of failing or dropping out again. I think it's so fast paced because it's a 1 year program and I am a slow learner. But I really want to go back n get myself a good career to take care of my family! So confused on what to do! Class starts next month already and I don't know to try again or not!! [/quote']

Why don't you get evaluated; you may have a learning disability or anxiety, etc.

Find out how you learn and find a plan to tackle school; don't let fear be a motivator that prevents you from opportunity.

Best wishes.

Have you looked into San Bernardino Adult School or LVN adult schools in Los Angeles?
