my lvn school was 25,000.00 maybe you know som tricks to keep costs down, but even so later in life (50) it's a little harder without the aid of others. As a man in nursing to some extent you are on your own "cause hangin around with 20 year old women is at best inappropriate. That being said ignore the costs financially and just do it!

hello everyone! i was a sailor, a truck driver, a burn patient, then a CNA, after seven years as the latter, i decided to get my LVN, and it happened! I owe alot to my family and friends especially THE WIFE! She has the motivation I'm not really sure what I contributed? But as as CNA in the hospital setting for two years and a CNA in the Long Term Setting for five years, looking back, I guess it was a done deal. I took the NCLEX and it shut down after 35 MINUTES! (to my dismay) I studied school work but always (from day one the NCLEX CD ROM) And you guessed it! I passed the first time! It took some time and knowing the right people (from being in the field and i SCORED the awesome position in Assisted living at a very high end senior environment. Do not get me wrong life is not easy street but this is what I wanted and am glad to be the weekend supervisor. Yes it has been scary most of the time, but given the family support that I have I know I will succeed, also thinking more seriously about RN! So what the cost? at my age they probably will never collect. So I make sure my patients do!
