  1. Wondering if 50 is too old to go to RN school

    jc3015 replied to fancyme50's topic in LPN to RN

    I posted to this thread way back in December, and it's still growing. Since then I worked my first year as an LPN at age 55, completed the rest of my pre-reqs, and started the rest of the program to...

  2. A Nursing Career Over 50

    jc3015 replied to m9791l's topic in Men in Nursing

    I became an LPN at 54 and will begin my local RN bridge program in August. Go for it.

  3. How old is too old?!?!?

    jc3015 replied to Amy Married to Art's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I received my PN certificate at age 54, turned 55 a month later when I passed my NCLEX-PN. I start my ADN classes in August. I'd say that, if you really want to do it, 46 isn't too old.

  4. LPN to RN who has lots of questions

    jc3015 replied to littlejtLPN's topic in LPN to RN

  7. Purchasing Stethoscope through Internet

    jc3015 replied to kafluknik's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I bought my Littman II SE from Steeles.com for about $60. It arrived quickly, no problem.

  8. Wondering if 50 is too old to go to RN school

    jc3015 replied to fancyme50's topic in LPN to RN

    I just earned my PN license in October and I turned 55 the month before. I've tested for, and expect to be accepted into the ADN program at the college where I earned my PN certificate. I can't...

  9. New LPN trying to choose between 2 Jobs!

    jc3015 replied to Crys215's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In my own situation, I'd jump on the weekend shift. My only caveat would be what happens if you start RN classes. If you have a Monday morning class, say at 8 am and you've got that 1 hour drive......
