Everyone has a tale of woe...so here's mine. I graduated LPN school in 2002 (shoutout to Troy NY!) then returned to nyc to pay off a mountain of debt. 9 years of private duty later and after 3 years of 16 hour nights x 7 doing private duty for vent dependent patients, i'm unable to pass the TEAS. I was planning to enter the LPN-RN transition in manhattan. Failed the nursing part of the TEAS miserably both times, though i passed the writing, english and comprehension. (Big deal). What i'm looking for is a two year RN program which would take me right now. I would be willing to repeat the LPN year which is effectively what you're doing if you go into a two year RN program...i'd move almost anywhere from Florida to Maine...but i don't want to apply and have to wait a whole year and then do two years to get my RN. I have absolutely NO Interest in any online programs so please don't waste your time sending me info on those. Thanks for your time.
