I'm 26 with 2 toddlers. I'm 6 weeks into an accelerated LPN learning program. After I'm done and working for a couple of years I plan on going further in my education either to become doctor or go further in nursing. Both of which have their own requirements. It's a long time to commit and either option costs a small fortune but I will ask others what they like about their work and what they wished they did. I'm taking my time because I want my kids in school full time before I go back. Age is just a number. Focus on setting yourself up right for you.

I went to business school and kept switching between programs; I did the same thing screwing up my grades. I now have a family and dreams to afford. I called the school I intent to go to ask them for advice getting in. I explained my situation fully so they could help me better. There are a few routes but you can fix your grades by taking some of the first year classes that don't have prerequisites. It will lessen your load during your first year or help get you ahead for when you're in particularly hard courses. I figured I would at least get a year of working experience (some debt paid, references and some companies help with education), a license to fall back on if life gets in the way and I know in BC they will be making it in the next couple years bridge into year 3. The bridging program is usually based on the number of first year dropouts. So that might be an issue down the road. I'm actually considering becoming a doctor but spending time in the field I will learn about different jobs available and what people wished they did. Do what's right for you.

All my books are on the iPad 2. I have a laptop and haven't touched it in so long. I record and take notes simultaneously (I draw in extras when I need to). I have an app that matches lecture notes to note taking place as well. I can study anywhere and most of my study materials fit in my purse for the day. I have a sensitive stylus, and bluetooth keyboard. I'm thinking of getting a bluetooth mic wireless microphone. Not everyone likes this style but it works for me. You might want a hard copy of your core book and study guides. The screen isn't so hard to read on either.
