Quitting Nursing School...
I started my nursing program and due to personal reasons withdrew in enough time to get all of my money back. I had dreamed of being a nurse for years but if there are reasons that you feel necessary to take another path, please don't beat yourself up over it. I too busted my butt for excellent grades and even got an 89 on my first nursing exam, but it is what it is. The most important thing in life is to be happy and choose something that will make you happy. Good luck to you and whatever path you choose!

Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?
In my experience, the right one will come along when you stop looking and least expect it. Good Luck!

Should I go Straight to RN School Following Graduation?
Realistically either choice you make will be ok. I think that continuing right into an RN program would be the better choice because your already in the flow of things with studying ect. Plus, the second year is going to build upon the first year and those things will be fresh in your mind. Good Luck!

That is way too much money!!!! Run away!!!! I suggest you go to your local tech school or community college. Retake the Anatomy class, if you can.

42 Years Old - Is it too late to become a nurse?
I'm 46 and just got accepted into a nursing program!!! Go for it, your never too old! I attained a 4.0 gpa in my prerequisites...I never could have done that in my early twenties. I'm just so much more focused now and can not wait to fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse. Good luck to you, you CAN do this!

Is my textbook wrong?
In my early 20's, I worked for a funeral home and actually got a talking to from my boss for showing sympathy to a family instead of empathy. The textbook description is exactly what she told me.

What should I study ahead?
I bought a great book from Amazon called Calculate with Confidence, Sixth Edition by Deborah Gray Morris. I cannot say enough about this book! I believe it is a dosage calculation textbook. Once you work through a chapter there are plenty of practice questions and answers to check your work. Youtube also has great stuff when you type in dimensional analysis for dosage calculations.

What should I study ahead?
I start my program in August. The one thing I am studying is dosage calculation using dimensional analysis. I do practice problems everyday. I also have started memorizing metric conversions. For me, these are the two things I wanted to be familiar with. Good luck!

Laptop for LPN Program
I highly recommend the Microsoft surface pro. It's a laptop and a tablet combined. It's also very lightweight.
