I can get into a LPN program at the local school, but it’s hard to do it and still provide especially if I have to take a job in the mines again, and you’re correct I went straight into the mines after I graduated. I had a scholarship to play football and planned on studying biology and later becoming a PA when I was in high school, but I decided I didn’t wanna be away from my now wife that long. I’ve been out of school for almost three years now, and I’ve done almost everything there is to offer for a boy my age around here, underground mining, surface mining, hauling coal, logging. I seem to do a lot better with my anxiety when I’m challenging my mind daily though and that’s why I want a change of pace now.

How’s it going everyone? I’m looking for a Hybrid ADN or LPN class I could take and maybe do clinicals at a local hospital. I’m a laid off coal miner from southern West Virginia, and the UMWA is offering me a grant for retraining. I’ve always been interested in doing this, but it’s hard to pay the bills going to school especially when your wife has a baby on the way. So I’m trying to find a way to do it part time.
