I am in California and will be moving to Mass

Well I feel like the senior of the group. I had a career, retired, ( 20 years in law enforcement). I still had two young children at home, so I went back to school at 45. I am going to be 50 when I graduate. I anticipate being able to work at least 10 years full time and then wind down.. That is still a nice career. I personally love starting this career a little later, I have life experience that is invaluable to this field. I also now have the luxury of being able to focus on this career, my children are almost grown and I will have minimal interference with my ability to work. You are NEVER too old to start something you want to do!!!!!!!!

I am in a RN program. I am an older, second career student. I am doing ok in school, but I struggle a little. I am planning to move out of state when I graduate. I got a "probation" for something stupid (not dangerous / or pertaining to not having knowledge). My school will drop you for probation for things like not paying a fee on time or not submitting a photocopy of something on time...etc.... I am worried that if I get another probation I will be OUT. I am almost done with 3rd. I cannot start this all over again. application process of 12-18 mos, then two more years of school. So to ensure a back up plan I want to take the LPN/LVN test ( I am processing for CNA now). If I get certified as LPN/LVN, I can work AND then process as a LVN o RN tudent... I have looked on line, but dont get clear info or pathways. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? thank you in advance!! DJ
