Hello everyone. I am in Bloomington Normal Illinois. I am not a nurse yet and not even in the course. I wont be able to get in the LPN course till fall of 07 but I consider myself a nurse. NERD HUH. I am going to Heartland Comm College for my LPN then after that will figure out where to go to get my RN. I am so nervous about all of this and just want to get in the darn LPN course.

How far are you from Springfield, Il.?

The reason I ask is because they have openings for the LPN class in January at Capital Area School of Practical Nursing.
