Thank you

Yes I understand that my B/P is high, but what I guess I failed to say is that my class is set to graduate in Dec2012, and the school isnt willing let me take my two weeks off, even though just two weeks ago, another student took off two weeks. They want me to resart in Aug, 2012 which sets my graduation date to June 2013, that is over a year away. I have did all my work and I am in good standing with all my classes. I told them I would come to the school to take any test or what ever else was needed. I dont see the difference in myself having time off when another student just took time off too with no repercousions.

I recently(this week) was told by my doctor that I needed to take a two week medical leave of absence, because my blood pressure is critically high. Just two weeks ago a student in my class took a medical leave of absence to have a baby. She got to return to the program no questioned asked. I attend class every day and am passing all my classes with high grades, but I was told that I must wait until August to return and graduate with the next class. I find this as a form of discrimination, please feel free to post but please go gentle. I am upset as it is, due to this set back. Thanks Heather

I started at 36 years old. Im not going to lie. IT IS HARD but it can be done. If you really want it bad enough, you will do what it takes.

I started off in an RN program and then changed to LPN. I wish I hadnt. Theblpn is hard and fast paced. good luck to all of you.

I dont know if this will help, but why did she have a svheduled csection. It seems that something must have been going on in her body to lead to her having it done.

Umm, if you want honesty, its the money issue and they treat you as if you are in kindergarten. I don't feel you get what you are paying for, but that is my opinion.

I am in the same boat as you, I am in clinicals now, but I worry that once I am in the real world I might not know enough.

I go to a private school as wellAll my books and scrubs included.$ 29000.

I am 38 y/o. I will be graduating in Dec. 2012. Keep up the good work. You are still very young and its never to late to follow your dreams.

Finding the time to study and spend time with the kiddos. This is a hard course your life will change drasticlly. Good luck and best wishes to you. :):)

I passed with a 927. Most of the questions I missed were ones that I knew the answer to but was so nervous and read them wrong. You will do great.:)

Congrates, I am in the same boat as you. Did you have to take a hesi test? I did and had to npass it with an 850. I passed it with a 927.

I am attending Platt college now. If you can hold out for the waiting list or maybe try another votech in your area I would do that. If not go for it, its hard and a lot of people get dropped.But good luck.
