Didn't even think about using the drive time to just relax, guess if I'm not feeling the audio lectures I could use that time in the car as "me time" ? that crockpot is gonna be my best friend next year lol

Oh wow! My program will be just under 2 years (thank the Lord). One of the schools im looking at is 50 miles, the other is about 85 one way. I've heard of L.A traffic and don't live anywhere that has traffic quite that bad. If you can do it for 4 years I can certainly do it for half that. Thanks for sharing and kudos to you!

Congrats! This really inspires me. You're so lucky to have found someone to carpool with! Will definitely put a little extra money back for the car before starting. Did you listen to lectures in the car or was there anything you did in the car that helped your studies. I hate the idea of losing hours of study time ?

I have checked with the schools, can't pick up where i left off of course but I am eligible to re-apply as I'm in good standing with my old school ? thanks

Hey guys, so I went through a nursing program (ADN) in the last few years. I failed a course in my final semester of the program (for the second time) and due to this would have to reapply and start from semester one. The school I went to did not offer LPN or CNA options as you progressed through the program so despite going through most of the program, I had nothing to show for it. I am looking at schools that offer these things as you progress and have better stats in their NCLEX passing rate as well as their program passing rate. Only problem is the schools that have these are anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half away. I'm excited about going back to school and my heart is set on Nursing but I am worried about the long commute. I have two kids, and although i have a great support system, I worry about losing more time with them due to the commute. I'm determined to make it happen and I know this will benefit them in the long run. Would love to hear y'alls stories, Has anyone gone to a school far away? What was your experience? Do you have any tips to share? Thanks in advance!
