    I think it is very much preferred that you have working experience as an LPN as it would look better on your application to the school, but it is not

    Yeah, the drive is a killer for some people, but we do have the a couple students who are willing to do what they got to do in order to get what they want. One girl drives up all the way from Miami,...

    Well, the first month and a half were rocky but things have smoothed out since I've gotten into the swing of things. ANHO's way of doing things are a complete 180 from PBSC. Not to say one school is...

    @ zanfelhor- Yeah, I was at Excelsior. Got to the FCCA, failed it, decided Excelsior wasn't for me after all and enrolled in a brick and mortar bridge program instead. I'm glad I did it this way. My...

    Destinemightynurse- Well you never know until you ask. September classes I think start the 16th. If you apply and get your financial aid squared away I don't see why you can't start in September. If...

    CLUVRN replied to CLUVRN's topic in LPN to RN

    You guys are right, I'm glad I decided to stick it out and just do what I need to graduate and get on up out of there. Like Tony said, nine months are going to go by whether I graduate or not, so I...

    CLUVRN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I just emailed the dean of the school informing her that I'm dropping my program. Don't get me wrong: the program is great. It's rigorous, fast paced, and I had been doing well in my studies. I just...

    Update: Yesterday I was an emotional mess from being overwhelmed due to having to work full-time and being a full-time student. I don't know, it kind of all hit me all at once and it caused me to...

    Hi Shanna, First off, it's good that you got your pre-reqs done first (I'm assuming those are the classes you are referring to that were taken at PBSC). Prereqs at AHNO are about $5K. So with that...
