Hasn't been in high school for 20+ years, does not have to take any prerequisite classes to get into LPN school but must pass the TEAS V exam? Just needing to know if there's anyone else who is in the same situation I am out there. If so, what did y...

To all of the 30, 40, and 50 somethings who began their nursing careers at a later age, how did you manage to wrap your brain around algebra and chemistry after not being in high school for 20 plus years? I am 39 and am planning on taking the TEAS af...

There are no pre-reqs for this LPN program.

Congratulations on passing and thanks so much for your post! This site is great with all of the TEAS info on it and study tips. I guess I was more looking for someone who was in the same situation I am now so after reading your post, I was glad to ...

I am applying to LPN school and there aren't any prerequisite courses I need to take beforehand. I just need to pass the TEAS V exam in order to get in. I've had all of what is on the exam in high school but it's been 21 years so I am definitely ru...

Thank you all very much :)

Hello and congrats on passing with a 4.0!! That's great! Sounds like you just need some encouragement (who doesn't, right?) and some confidence in your abilities. I'm sure you'll get lots of encouragement here on this site. I was 38 when I went ...

The positive here is that you care enough to worry that you are invading a resident's privacy! You will get used to the awkward situations the more you do it. I was so worried about the sites and smells of CNA work prior to taking my class, and now...

That's great that you can take the course for free! I took my certification exam as soon after my classes ended as I could because all of the information was fresh in my mind. Plus I'm a worrier so that cut off my worry time too! :)

I would say it doesn't hurt to become a CNA first since usually it doesn't take long to go through classes and get tested. Here in Pennsylvania, I took a 3 week class one month and took my certification exam the following month. Plus, I was hired i...

I just turned 39 in February and have been psyching myself out of taking the entrance exam for nursing school for a few years now. But what I've come to realize is, if it's your dream, the nagging feeling won't go away until you make your dream a re...

Why is the "CNA - Nursing Assistant Discussions" topic listed under the "students" tab? What about CNAs that are CNAs for life? :) Could there be two separate topics for CNAs, one under the General tab and one under the Student tab like there are f...

I am hoping to enter LPN school in January. I ordered the NET study guide and see that there will be algebra problems on the test. I hope this doesn't come off as a totally ignorant question, but I was really hoping any LPNs/LVNs out there who are ...

pagandeva2000 and TheCommuter...I have to ask...what does "socially promoted" mean exactly?? I'm clueless here.

Zeethan: I wanted to get into nursing a few years ago, heard about/saw algebra equations, and stopped pursuing my dream because of it. And I like math! But when you have something that you want badly enough, I believe there is a way to make it happen...

skwlpn: I laughed out loud when I read "math moron". Thank you for sharing your story with me. I'm making a complete career change from accounting to nursing and I still think when it comes to algebra, I'm a math moron as well unless I have someth...

I'm thinking about entering the LPN program at LCCTC and would love to hear from anyone who is going/has gone and what you thought of it. Were you in the day or evening program? Did you have to wear uniforms every day of class or just for clinicals...

Hi movingon2008, I'd love to hear about your first few days at LCCTC. I'm thinking about going there myself. Are you in the day or evening program? Do you have to wear uniforms to class? It would be great to hear from you and I hope all is going ...

Hi All, I'm currently in nursing assistant training and just have a question about the steps involved in the skills portion as far as preparing for the state exam. I have a print out of what my state (PA) requires as well as a skills book from my cl...
