LPN to RN

Hi. I am about to start (I think) a LPN program. I was in an 15 month RN program, but I am embarassed to admit I flunked A&P. I am out of the program (I had a 4.0 in prereqs at the local community college). I studied Psychology in college 20 years ago. I am wondering if I should do the LPN program (15 months also) and then try to do a Lpn to RN onlne, if possible. I live in Virginia and see that Excelsior (sp?) is not accepted in Virginia. Has anyone done University of Phoenix, and do they have a program. Does anyone recommend an online program that will work in Virginia? I am 43 and I am starting to think this isn't going to work out for me. I just have always wanted to be a nurse, and my children are older now and really wanted to do this.

I think LunahRN is from Virginia, she can tell you all about EC and VA. If being a nurse is your dream then you have to make it work out for you. It really doesn't matter how old you are or how you go about doing it all that matters is that you do it. If it is easier to get into an LPN program ( which I think personally is) go for it. LPN is a great start to becoming an RN.

I went to LPN school in another state it use to take me sometimes two hours just to get to clinical. There were times I got to school before the sun came up. Where there is a will there is a way.
