  1. I'm 39 years old and will be starting a LPN program on June 28. I already have a Bachelor's degree but I had a 3.0 which isn't good enough for an accelerated program. I live in rural Ohio and the closest school for BSN is 60 miles away and there are 2 year wait just to get into the local ADN program. I was thinking about doing my ADN and then BSN at Excelsior College Online program if possible. Will the Army accept that? Is the Officer Accession Pilot Program very competitive to enter. Do you take an officer test similiar to the AFOQT test? What about an age waiver for the Air Force (which I prefer)? Do you still qualify for bonuses and tuition reimbursement with this program? Does the Army force you to retire at 62 and do you get any retirement if you don't finish your 20 years? And finally if I can't get a BSN am I too old to become enlisted as a LPN or RN (ADN)? Sorry for all the questions.
  2. I just quit my first CNA job after 2 weeks. I worked at a LTC facility with mostly 17-18 year old girls. They told the nurse I just stand there and do nothing. So the nurse took me into the office and wrote me up. I did my rounds, there was no call lights, and everything that needed to be done was done. The 17-18 year old girls are never to be found, they are out back smoking, or they are at the nursing station gossiping. But since I'm alone it looks like I'm being lazy and not doing my job. I guess I'm not good at pretending to be busy. I only get bits and pieces about the paperwork per night, no one is showing me the complete picture. It took me two weeks to be shown the ADL's, shower sheets, schedule, bowel movements, and the amounts the residents eat. That should have been shown to me on the first day. I also couldn't handle the smell of poop and that is what really got the nurse mad at me. So should I continue to try to become an LPN since there will be less smells and more work to be done so I'm not just standing there? I'm a 40 year old male, I feel the young females don't want to teach an old dog new tricks.
