I would like to work a good while after I "get back into it". I am returning to nursing at the age of 54. Can I expect to work 15-20 years? How long are yall planning to work? I would love to hear from you older guys and gals.

Ditto.

Thanks for explaining. I hate the TPAPN idea so much I could scream! I just don't understand why I have to be in some program where I have to call each morning and ask if this is my day for a UA...for 2 years! And pay for it! I never went to work ...

Hello! I am a retired RN (got my RN at San Jacinto back before the computer age so things are different now). Anyway, my 26 year old daughter wants to apply for LVN school, work, and transition to RN when she can. The issue is money and transporta...

Well, don't be surprised if I come a callin' again! :)

Ziggysgal, thank you. It was the admissions criteria that I could not find. You are a Blessing. I am all over this forum asking questions and it is finally starting to fall into place.

Ok, I am actually back here to ask another question about Lone Star LVN program. I have looked all over their website and cannot find the curriculum or pre-reqs or anything about an LVN program. Am I missing something? :uhoh3:We are mainly interes...

carolmaccus66 ...could you clarify? I can't make sense of your last post. Thanks.

Speech therapy since childhood, it is not something that speech therapy can help as it is in the brain s/p meds given to his mom during pregnancy. He is trying to get into the service and have them pay for his education. He was turned down by one br...

Did you have a lawyer?

coladot. so you are in Texas? And with Biploar Disorder you did not have to do TPAPN? How did you get around it? because I am very upset by the thought of having to go through it. I have gone to every docor appt. scheduled, every 4-8 weeks for 12...

When I get back to work, which means a refresher course and tpapn for 2 years because I am Bipolar, I plan on saving a little bit, building a cabin/house with plenty of bedrooms, a nice kitchen, screened in porches and a fireplace out here on the far...

I am still researching for my daughter. Can she take online courses for her prereqs from Houston Community College, Lone Star or other colleges? If so, can someone tell me about it, which classes did you take and did you like it. Would you have prefe...

I have zero retirement. Not one cent. I have acreage and some livestock and have food stores for lean times. I receive a tiny, tiny SSDI check each month. I will never starve but I will live in rags and animal pelts or something.

Your right. He will just have to do his best and see what happens. He is so smart, he will find his niche.

Kyla, that was the best answer EVER! Thank you so much! I was so very confused by all those points that folks were talking about and you made sense of it for me! :) I will digest this and go from there. Thanks again!
