Night Owl,Get in school just as fast as you can! I,m 53 and will be in my second semester this Jan. (failed the last time trying to take to many classes) thank goodness when I go back I'll only have my nursing classes to deal with!!!! Get in there and get all your other class work out of the way and then go for your RN classes. You'll have lots going for you already being an LPN , I started from nothing. One word of warning , we had lots of LPNs not make it because they figured they knew it all and found no need to study, bad mistake!!!!! Nursing theory is like nothing you've ever seen before, go in with your head held high but your nose in the books 100%. You'll make a great RN as you've already paid your dues so to speak! You already know the ropes and you know what changes need to be made. Lots of luck to you! Hey a little over a year ago I had never even used one of these computors. Still not very good and slow as Christmas but what the heck I'm getting there and so will you!!
