MADISMOM

I'm very happy for you. Your words have encouraged me. I have been desiring to be a nurse since I graduated high school, but chose to get married instead, at the age of 18. Now, almost 13 years later and on my second marriage, I am still desiring to be a nurse although now I have an 18 mth old and a step daughter. I am scheduled to begin the LPN program in Jan. 05 and I'm so nervous! I'm currently a CNA (non-active)..I work in banking. My heart is where the patients are. I'm very proud of you! Any extra encouragement would be great! Thanks...Charlotte in North Carolina:)

JULIEY, HOW IS LPN SCHOOL GOING FOR YOU? (LOCATION: NC)

Hi!:) I am new to this discussion board and I wanted to ask if anyone was as nervous about quitting their job and starting to school as I am. I am scheduled to begin my LPN classes in January which means I will have to quit my 12 year banking career. I have a husband, an 18 month old, and an 11 year old step daughter. Can I do this and keep my sanity???? I have wanted to be a nurse since I was 18 years old but never did it. I will be 31 this month and that is still my desire. I have all my pre-req's out of the way, except for English 111 and Psychology 241....I will be getting those out of the way during the next semester. Any advice??????
