I went back and forth with the whole LPN/RN decision too. Too busy listening to what everyone else thought instead of what I knew was the right decision for me and my life. I've wasted a lot of time and effort chasing after schools when it all boiled...

Hello Everyone.... I just turned 44 years old this past June. My plans include the PN program at Fortis Institute this coming September. I've often wondered if it's all for naught at my age, but it's truely where my heart is. If I don't pursue my dr...

Hello Everyone! Has anyone here ever attended Broome Tioga Boces in Binghamton, Ny? I'm thinking about enrolling in their LPN program, instead of Allied, due to distance (I live in New Milford, Pa.) and length of program (10 months). This program beg...

I'm really leaning more towards BOCES in Binghamton, NY. Their tuition is cheaper, program runs 10 months, 35 min. travel time-straight shot, and there's night/part-time classes available. The downfalls are that I am not assured admission in 2011, a...

I live in Northeastern, Pa. I am glad now that I have decided to go for my RN rather than LPN. It was a tossup for quite a while--but not anymore after hearing this. I just think it is horrendous the way they just tossed those LPNs out without regard...

Hi Everyone, I am really torn as to whether I should go to LPN or RN school. For that matter, even Radiologic Tech school. This is so frustrating going around and around with my career decision. I'm 43 years old now, and feel that this will be my la...

I have a dilema with my husband... He refuses to take a shower for a week at a time, sometimes longer. He thinks washing his hair in the morning for work and putting on cologne will suffice. I suppose it's a good thing that he's pretty much lost his...

FairyCari, Thank for your honest input, but I am not up for any more new marriages or big changes in my life. This is my second marriage and if this one don't work then I'm 'not looking' for another one. I'm also not giving up that easily on this mar...

Rachelgeorgina, I have tried in the past to coax him into better hygiene. I'm now to the straight forward and nagging approach--even that doesn't work. I've threatened him that I'm going to post his hygiene habits on my Facebook because I'm at my wit...

Have you been married long? Is this new, getting worse lately, or a long-standing issue that you've had enough of? Because if it's a change it's come from somewhere and that might help you work out why. What happens when you try to discuss it with hi...

I was thinking it was his age as far as the sex drive goes; he is 58-years-old. What about plain laziness as far as hygiene goes? Sometimes I think that since he has some problems with erections that he purposely shows bad hygiene so I won't get clos...

I thought of that, but that is highly unlikely. I've asked him to go in the past for the sake of our marriage but he refuses. Why are you suggesting therapy?

I'm with ConfusedShoes on this one. I'm 43 years old now and I'm worn out going back and forth trying to decide on LPN or RN. With Allied Med and Tech Institute, it will be cheaper and a seat is practically assured for me. No NET required, but there ...

congrats to all you new nursing students. i'm not there yet. i've taken a year of general classes/pre-reqs too and then decided to go to allied medical and technical institute for my lpn rather than stay with luzerne for my rn. i have an interview se...

hi everyone, i am a 43-year-old college student at l.c.c.c., and i live in new milford, pa. i'm aiming to become a (rn) nursing student in year 2010 at the elk lake branch, but i've run into a bit of a problem. i've heard that l.c.c.c. has a nursing ...

Yes! But where would you recommend going?

Did you buy the L.C.C.C. NET study guide to help you prepare for your NET? Mine is scheduled on my birthday, which is June 20th. I've bought NET books over the Inter Net, but lately I've found out that only L.C.C.C.s study guide is advised. It's expe...

Yes, I have thought of that too. I just think it is silly to have to take and pay for classes that I don't need. Any suggestions for getting through the NET or the Nursing Program there?

Is it true that an L.C.C.C. student can only take Micro once they are an established Nursing Student?

Hi People, I am attending at the Susq. branch. I'm hoping to be accepted into the 2010 Fall Nursing Program after I take/pass the NET. My general classes are completed except for Chemistry, CPR, and General Psychology. I'm taking the first two this S...

I defended a person who was sleeping in class from being exhausted. She is a young 21 year-old mother, a student, and she works as a CNA. The person who practically murdered me with her eyes when I defended this girl said, "Cripes! She's living at ho...

I use to work as a CNA, but am not working at the present time. I'm focusing on my studies. I'd like to become a Neonatal nurse.

I was in the hospital the night before, and the morning of, my dad's death. My family members had all agreed to take him off of life support, but were waiting for me to agree. I took it the hardest, I think. I finally decided it was best. Anyway! My ...

May I put this on my 'myspace' page? It really reminds me of when my dad passed away--only I was not a nurse back then. However, I am studying to be one now. Your story is very heart warming. Thank you for sharing.

Let us know how it all turns out for you, ok? From: :nurse:wannaB
