i'm in the full time day program, and we're getting into the math (aka: dosage calculations) now. best advice i've got is to review the basics: fractions, decimals, and definitely conversions between the systems. the more comfortable you are now with those the better off you'll be.

my school did not require a drug test. they did require a full physical, as well as character references, but that's it.

yes, although most of my current LPN class isn't planning on doing that. for some reason, articulation issues in my area aren't that great, so it's not so easy to make a straight path. some RNA programs will take a *lot* of credits, and some won't take any. i'm not as sure about the RNBS programs, since there are very few in my area that do that, either (upstate new york). i could have chosen to do this year as pre-req's for the RNA program, but instead decided to do the LPN program, just in case i can't continue for some reason into the associate's program - at least i'll be licencenced to do *something* in the field.

i'll be starting my LPN program in september (only three weeks away!) at Ulster County BOCES in upstate New York. Can't wait!
