I AGREE WELL PUT:yeah:

this is true and sad

I graduated in Feb. and had two job offers in March. Accepted one at an assisting living community making $21/hr.

I had a interview on a Friday was told they had more interviews on Monday, and will let me know something by the end of the week. I got a job offer on Thursday.

check them out in Raleigh NC http://careonehealth.org/index.php/courses/certified

Yes, a ex co-worker went there and graduated also she's working as a LPN now. She passed the boards her first try too. She said as long as you can make a commitment to the time/schedule (don't miss no days and focus) you will do just fine.

i too will be starting dec. 14th 2009 @ ecpi in raleigh (: I will be going during the day. How about you?

Trying to get in the LPN program for Dec., and tonight I went to the meet-n-greet. I got all my questions anwsered and now I wait.

Just wanted to update I have been working as a CNA now at a assisting living community for 4 months, and I really enjoy my work. I just got accepted into a community college to do pre-nursing, so in the future I can apply for the nursing program there. My first two classes begin this summer in May. I'M SO EXCITED TO START THIS JOURNEY!!!!

Congrats to you and never given up on your dream.

I'm really glad to read this, and I have to say I really like my boss as well (: Kudos goes out to all great bosses out there (:
