for LPN at a tech center ours are white pants with a blue top with a logo sewn on by us...didn't know sewing was part of the plan for school....i can't sew LOL

perfect timing to find this post...thanks

I start LPN Aug 31 and also did my pre-reqs for RN...I also only got a B in A&P but had other stuff going on ...I was getting an A till my life went through hell...so i'm hoping with life being stable...LPN won't be as tough....good luck to both of you and CONGRATS.. and i'm nervous too!! courses weren't FULL time...lol

Congrats... what are the steps to NP from LPN?

Dawn, Schuylkill Tech, Frackville, Pa...1 year....start Aug 29...

so greys anatomy ones are good? good to know!

I've been there! I feel for you and your children. I know exactly where you are at. alll I can tell you is do what you feel is right, no regrets later. I attempted to try to get my Mom to stop... even her home RN tried to tell her...but yes, they feel it's giving up. in the end it was the chemo that killed my mother...but she had chemo from sept 1997 until a few weeks before her death in Feb 2000. I still feel that doctor should be shot! The chemo destroyed her stomach, and we had to put her in a drug induced chemo until her stomach acids killed her. It was the most horrible experience of my life. I believe you got fantastic advice on here and a conversation with the doctor should clear up a lot for you! God Bless... and maybe "Mom I think it's time to live a quality life" is a better way to start a conversation?

I start in August too... I just posted a message cause i'm so scared and apprehensive....

Hi Hope, I'm Dawn... I'm 45...and was a Real Estate Broker was doing VERY well and now I'm starting an LPN program in August! I can't even get anyone to hire me for an $8 hour I've managed offices, did real estate etc... they think I'm over qualified UGGH... I'm nervous as I'm OLD... but I had to tell you my children are ungrateful swine cause we never said No...or made them wait for things. Now to hear NO as they are 15 and 19 is foreign to them. So, If I could do it all again...tehy'd wait till birthdays or holidays orEARN things! :) Just had to tell you, you are raising chldren that are learning to work hard and be appreciative, and that's not a bad thing. So, from now on, when you say NO to their wants.... SMILE :) wish someone told me...

Nikki congrats!!!!! I start in Aug 2011 at a technology school , year program! little nervous worked as a NA (not certified) in a nursing home.... so I think I know a small bit of what I'm getting into :) just nervous and OLD...(45) eek...
