oh my god thank you...i sorta thought that, our drug calculation book glosses right over that stuff. thank you again and again and again and again.

how do i figure out the following... gr x= qt ii= pt iv= gr vss= gr ii1/4= 18 gtt= 42mEq= i don't understand any of it, and they are not teaching it. i guess i should have learned it in highschool? i have no idea, so confused and a bit frazzled at the moment. a nudge or hint in any direction would be appreciated. thnx trixie

you have been sooo helpful. it does feel like it's way over priced, but as you said i think it's because they can. from what i can find (and it's not easy) there seems to be only 1 tech state school in ct that offers nite classes . also with limited college many years ago i felt this was the quickest way to get out of my currant field and into a path towards nursing. they tell me 18 credits will transfer towards nursing school, i guess that's good, right? how are you finding the homework and such? on a daily basis how much time do you spend on it? it seems like a hard enough accomplishment to achieve without a child! god bless you, and please keep an eye out for me, i'm full of questions.thanks again....

thanks everyone.....this is all so confusing. should i just go back to school then apply to nursing school?

is it? thanks, trixie

i don't understand, i was looking for aadvice from people with experience, this wasnt a student forum question, thanks anyhoo...

okay, alot of questions here, stay with me please. 38 year old looking for a career change, nursing has always been an interest. looking into how and where to start is frustrating. i have limited college many moons ago some i'm wondering if the best move would be to enter a lpn program and then move onto an rn program. my thought being that the program is 22 months and would move me to my field of choice quicker then nursing school (a long wait in ct i'm told). also i've been to one open house at lincoln tech, which seemrd like more of a pitch to get me to go there than anything, and the 22 month program is $31,500.00 which seems like alot, but again i'm don't have anything to base that on, and ct can be expensive. anyway any pointers help advice money (HA!) would be appreciated. speaking of money...what does an average lpn make anyhoo? thanks all for your time and wisdom. trixie
