Looking into Nursing schools local to Madison, CT. Looking into Stone, Excelcier, porter, any thoughts...do's/dont's. I started nursing school and was in my last semester for LPN (out of state a few years back) however, being 9 months pregnant I was unsuccessful.... Now son is almost school age and I'm ready to try again. Single mother, A&Ps & Chem all past 5 years old. I'll stay with family, so that I won't have to work. I'm looking for a solid program, not too many strings and that care about helping the students learn.
