I am interested in going to soldiers home for lpn school next year, can you give me information on how you liked it and if it was a good program? when you do work for the state for 1 year do you get paid?

well i just want to do the LPN route for now. i have thought a lot about it, and decided that it's the best thing for me to do right now. I'm moving to connecticut this summer from boston, and have always wanted to be a nurse but not sure what exactly i want or if i will like it. that's why i want to do LPN so i can get a feel for the career. i've applied to the state technical schools, but i know there's a chance i might not get in because it has a waiting list and i applied a bit late. so i don't want to wait even longer for their next opening, i'd rather just go the private schools and get some financial aid (hopefully) and just pay the loans off over time while i'm working as an LPN. the thing also is, i might not stay in CT after i finish LPN school. I might go back to Boston or go stay with my fiance who is in the army, and hopefully work as a LPN either way. so my main concerns are: a) if i will get a good education at the private CT schools (i know i would just get my diploma if i graduate from there, not sure if that's good or not) b) if my LPN license will be universal in all 50 states, will i have to transfer my license? and will it be valid? and c) if i want to later bridge to RN, are the private schools accredited enough that I will be able to do that? i'd appreciate any input advice or opinions that you have :nuke:

how do you mean they are restrictive?

I am researching LPN schools to go to in Connecticut. which school did you go to and how did you like it? i know the private schools (Stone Academy, Porter & Chester, Lincoln Tech, etc) are very expensive but if you went there, was it worth it and did you get a good education. and if you went to the state program, how was that? i would like to know all your opinions, good and bad!!!!!
