Hi, I'm also thinking of taking a phlebotomist course while I'm waiting for my LPN program to start. I saw that the average salary for a phlebotomist is $27,000. Am I missing something ? Can I actually take a 160 hour course and make $27,000 as a phlebotomist while in nursing school ? Thanks

Woo Hoo !!! That's exactly what I was wanting to hear. Thanks !:loveya:

Thanks for your help. I am interested in two schools. Both only have an entrance exam. There are no prerequisites at either school and both are one year programs. Maybe that's why I'm confused. Actually, I chose both schools because there are no prerequisites other than the entrance exam and both are one year and done. Neither is really a college but more like career centers for adults. Hopefully they will prepare me enough to get my license ! Now I'm kinda leary. Maybe those schools aren't the best choice.

Ok, i'm an older male looking to get into nursing. I think i want to go to a one year practical nursing program to start and hopefully after that continue online to eventually become an RN. What I need to know is, what's the difference between a two year LPN program and a one year program ? Couldn't I take the test to be licensed after a one year program ? I guess the two year program would give me an associate degree but is it needed if I would be licensed after a one year program anyway ? Isn't the license the important part ? I'm kind of confused so please help !!! Thanks

Thank you, that actually does give me some comfort! Actually I think we pinned down a school. Did you ever here of Career Technology Center in Scranton? It is a community college, but they said my husband will have no problem getting in.

Hi, we are moving to NE PA, the Poconos in or around there. The nurse who told us how hard it is to get in is from the poconos.

We are currently living in FL where he will get his CNA cert. Then we are moving to PA. I heard that it is EXTREMELY hard to get into nursing school in PA. Is this true? My husband is changing careers and is 43, I heard he actually might have a better chance of getting into school because he is a male and his age. The person who told this to my husband is a Nurse. I found it hard to believe. Please tell me if this is true or not. I do not want to stay in FL for him to go to school here!!!LOL Thank you for your help in advance. Ann
