Hey I start classes tomorrow too! I think its natural to be super nervous about something this important. Just hope to be able to keep up with everything I have a big family but I am not going to work while going to school. Best of luck to you ,we can compare notes after tomorrow!

I start my lpn class on July 9. It is getting close and I am getting nervous. Hopefully I can use this nervous energy to get all the last minute things I want done finished. Oh and my program last for 11 months also, will graduate next June. Good luck everyone!

Here in S. Oklahoma they start out around 8.50.

Thank you so much. My family is a big source of strength and support for me. I wish you all the best with your little girl and nursing school.

Hi, I am married 37 yo with 9 yep 9 kids. I just got my letter last week and I start classes July 9 and graduate next June. I also plan getting to RN and working L&D. I have been there many times so I feel I have lots of experience already, LOL. Nice to meet everyone and best of luck to you all.

They are the same but in some states they are Licensed Practical Nurses and others call them Licensed Vocational Nurses.

Congrats! I got my letter day before yesterday and I am still in shock! Everything has fallen in to place so perfectly. This is what I am meant to do! Keeping positive thoughts for all of those still waiting to hear.

I just got my letter and I have been accepted! I think I am in shock!

I am so happy for you! When do you start? Thanks for the positive thoughts.

I would like to one day become an RN and work L&D, but in the meantime do you know of any LPNs that work L&D or maybe even for an OBGYN? I would like to get some experience along the way. Thanks!

I will be crying either way, tears of joy or of disappointment. I would like to stay in the health field either way. There is a medical assistant class at the tech school I had thought about trying so I guess I can still do that if I don't get in. Keep your fingers crossed anyway I will be thinking about all of you for the next two weeks while waiting.

Just wondering what everyones plans are if you don't get accepted. I don't know what to do. There are no more nursing schools I can apply to in this area and with my family ,traveling a long distance is just not in the cards right now. I may just go to work as a nurse aid since I do have that certification. Maybe I will work hard and get a bunch of bills paid off! Anyway hopefully it won't come to that and I will get the letter saying I got in. Tell me your ideas!

I had my interview yesterday, have to wait 2 weeks now for the letter. That seems like such a long time!

Thanks! I will send positive thoughts your way! Hopefully sometime in the next two weeks we can congratulate each other on getting in!

:uhoh21:I finally went for my interview at the tech school where I applied. It was the most scared I can ever remember being about anything! Well maybe besides childbirth, but it ranked right up there. There were about 8 people asking me all the questions and I hope the answers I gave were intelligent, they were certainly honest! I was to scared to think up anything. Anyway now I have to wait 2 weeks for the letter. Send some positive thoughts and prayers my way, I really need this!

That's great! I too have an interview in a couple of weeks. Where are you planning to go? Best of luck!!

The NET (Nurse Entrance Test) is basic algabra and math along with reading comp and some english. I wish that I had timed myself when I was preparing to take it. The reading comp is usually my best subject but I lost track of time and almost messed up big time!

Congrats to you! Thanks for the tips, I will let you know how my interview goes.

:confused:I passed the NET even though I really thought I had failed. Now I have an interview on May 27, and I am so nervous! I have applied at a Vo-Tech in S. Oklahoma and out of a few hundred applicants they only take 24 full time and 12 part time students so I need all the help I can get! I am 36 and a stay at home mom. I did get CNA and CHHA certifications as well as taking a medical terminology course in preparation. I have read lots of info on these boards about interviews, but I still need more. If they don't want to hear " I want to help people" what do they want to hear? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I Don't Get The Scores Until The Interview.

I Hope To Get Into Kiamichi Tech In Oklahoma. Still Have To Pass The Interview Part, They Only Take 36 Students. Where Will You Be Going?

I have been waiting for more than 3 weeks, but I finally have it! I got a letter saying that I passed the net and I have an interview! I was not at all sure that I had passed. I am floating now but have to come back down to earth and think about the interview coming up now. Any tips would be appreciated!

Hey do you have any tips on interviews at the vo-tech? I really don't know what to expect any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know how you feel. Even though I had studied the book and taken practice tests off the internet I still felt unprepared. I don't know how I did (since I took the paper test it will be 2-3 weeks), but I won't be surprised if I didn't pass. I can't take it again at that school until next year! Maybe I should have timed myself but I never thought of that when practicing. Oh well let the chips fall where they may. I too am glad to have some health care certifications already.

I JUST TOOK THE NET TEST THIS MORNING (THE PAPER VERSION) AND SINCE I HAD STUDIED REALLY HARD FOR THE MATH IT WASN'T TOO BAD. MY PROBLEM WAS THE READING COMP,I WENT OVER THE STUDY GUIDE FOR IT BUT I DIDN'T WORRY SINCE I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TO READ.-- I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS WAS NOT AN EASY READING TEST. I RAN OUT OF TIME BEFORE I COULD FINISH READING THE LAST PARAGRAPH AND WHILE I DID MARK ANSWERS THEY WERE JUST A GUESS. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS PROBLEM? NOW I HAVE TO WAIT 2-3 WEEKS TO SEE IF I EVEN PASSED IT!
