Thanks everyone. Yeah it hasn't been easy at all but it'll be worth it. To jersey bsn- I didn't start rn because i like to take smaller steps just in case something goes wrong during my journey and i have to stop school with nothing to show for it. plus very hard to get into. but now i'm they have more rn programs that recently opened. School has went by fast, although there were times I literally had to pick myself up off the floor and dry my tears, but I stress out a lot which is not good at all. But now i'm crying tears of joy-literally!! Whoever is just starting, you can do it!! stay focused!

really excited, graduation is just around the corner. im about to apply to an rn program and hopefully i get accepted. lpn school is tough but if u stay focused you can do it. i had lots of curveballs thrown at me & plenty of times when i cryed for hours but never wanted to quit. i remember looking on this website a ittle over a year ago and thinking i cant wait to get into a nursing program. first i went to school for medical assistant and never found a job, now its lpn and next rn, im not stopping!!! im almost 28 and even while in the 1st quarter of lpn school on the quizzes i took, i saw people score higher than me that were younger than me and in the beginning it discouraged me, i always was thinking, im older, so i should know more. but you really have to transition into thinking critically. You see only pieces of a picture and u have to put them together, it takes time. I had family members telling me- you know we arent good in math and science so don't set yourself up for failure!! i took two test and passed and then applied to lpn school 3 weeks before it started and i got in!! I struggled through a&p 1&2, and math, but i went to tutoring for all 3 classes and now im about to graduate!!!! I'm so proud of myself. Hopefully this touches someone and they reach for their goals and dreams. It's really nice hearing someone say thank you for helping them and even the patients who arent nice, i still feel like i'm making a difference in their lives :)

I'm thinking about doing the 223 and 251 at nsc and cna at csn all during the summer. I just dont want to be overloaded to the point where i drop a class. :sstrs:I only work one day a week. How hard was it, and how many days a week did you have class. im pretty focused but after 2 hours of studying i have to take a two hour break, lol.

Yeah I want to take 223 at NSC this summer, also 251, but im not sure if that would be too much to do over the summer. I def don't want too much of a workload where my gpa suffers. I have heard of some students doing it though and still staying on top of their grades. Right now I am just focused on knocking out 189 this upcoming spring 2011 semester, I"m a lil scared :chair: but that is to be expected!!

I'm going to csn west charleston and cheyenne campus. If your good at distance education courses then maybe your workload isnt so bad since you are already so disciplined to studying on your own. But I have a 3.6 gpa and with all the things i have heard about biol 189, i wouldnt dare take too many classes with it. This semester I am taking bio189 and math 100b. Gonna take A&p1 in the summer at nsc. I just stay positive and keep looking towards the future.
