Congratulations! All that hard work paying off!

Im 48 and half way through my LVN/LPN program. I am in school with my 24 year old daughter. Im a retired peace officer that has always wanted to be a RN, but wanted to wait till my kids were grown and didnt need me as much. My last child is a senior in high school this year and im half way through my program. When i graduate next year i will be looking for a LVN/RN bridge program! You are just a youngster, go after your dreams!

Yes, Im in Santa Clarita, Ca. And you?

I start Jan 7 too!! Me and my only daughter!! Good luck to all of us! :) Im in my mid forties, this is a complete career change for me. Good luck!~

Congrats!!! I start Jan 7 too!! Im so excited about my new journey. I plan on continuing on to get my RN. Good luck to ya!

My daughter and I start January 7. I'm a little nervous, but more excited than anything. Don't look at it in a negative way. You'll do fine. Look at it like this is the first day of a new beginning! Good luck! :)

I think you should give her a gift certificate. That way she can try them on and get the best fit!! :)

Do wait too long honey. You wanna take it while all the info is still fresh in your mind! You can do it!!! :) :up:

Hi! Im 47 and start LVN in January 2013!! This is a second career for me. Im a retired peace officer. Ive always wanted to be a nurse, but of course life happened. I got married and had three kids. I have 2 grown and the youngest is 16 and a junior in high school. I finally feel like I can handle the Nursing load. I will be attending with my only daughter, she's 23. This is just the beginning of my nursing career. I plan to continue my education to get my BSN. Your never to old to learn. Older students bring a lot of life lessons with them to school. Stay focused and go for it!! Good luck! :)

I start LVN school on January 7,2013. I graduate in March 14'. This is also a second career for me. I'm very excited, this is something I've always wanted to do, but couldn't because I had small kids. My last child is in his junior year of high school, so now its the perfect time for this change. Im really excited because I will be attending with my only daughter. She's 23 and I think this is a great milestone for us to reach together. A memory we both will always have. :) Good Luck to everyone starting Nursing School. Stay in touch and let us all know how your are doing!! :)) :)

Do you work in a LTC facility?

Maybe try a Adult School near you. I was just accepted into a private LVN program. Me and my daughter start in Jan 2013. We looked for months and werent able to find much cheaper than what you quoted. Good luck!~

What a encouraging post!!! Starting my prereq's for RN in the Spring of 2012! Changing careers@ 46! Staying positive and encouraged!! Thanks for sharing the post with us!! :)
