online LPN?

work4choc · Jan 15, 2006

so...here i am in the army trying to persue some type of online LPN classes in iraq and can't seem to get on the right track...i wish all luck in their persuits and determination, don't let anything break you.
but someone...help me so i can meet some future goals before i ets from the army.

I would suggest looking at the entrance requirements where you want to go to school for when you separate, and try to get your prerequisites done. How much time do you have left? You might also want to try to get in with some volunteer work at the base hospital if you have time - it will help you clarify your goals and might come in handy if you need a letter of recommendation to get into school. Check into stuff you can do while deployed just for extra learning/experience - my dh helped teach an EMT-B class through Central Texas College when he was deployed. Your base might have something like that - its not nursing but it is something.

How much time do you have left? You might want to apply before you get out because some schools maintain waiting lists with assigned entrance dates that can be a couple of years long. You could time it just right!

Have you thought about staying in the Army and cross training to med tech or whatever the army calls it - AF calls it med tech, navy calls it corpsman - just a thought....

Good luck
