I know that this is a way late response, but there may be someone out there looking for the answer to this question! When you apply to North-West, you do this preliminary questionnaire with like fifteen questions to just test your aptitude of math and language. It is very, very easy. Once you pass this, you will move on to the PAX. The PAX-VN/PN (VN- Vocational Nurse and PN- Practical Nurse are the same thing, so you can buy a study guide with either), assesses your level of knowledge in mathematics, science (biology, anatomy and phyisology, some chemistry, some physics.) You have to earn a score of 99 to pass the PAX. Be sure to press the front office to give you their study guide and vocab guide. It should have math, English, and science questions and information in it. Memorize, memorize, memorize. Get out those flashcards and start memorizing all that information and get very comfortable with it. Plus. once you get in, it will feel like you are doing nothing but making flashcards the next sixteen months of your life, so you may as well get used to it. Get the PAX study guide from Barnes & Noble. I got the Idiot's Guide to Nursing Entrance Exams, and it covered PAX type questions. Study hard and ace it! Good luck!

I would love to work in Psych. (I am an LVN student currently, and eventually want to earn an RN) I am particularly interested in addiction medicine, especially natural and holistic approaches to dealing with drug addiction.

1: What date do you start/school name: September 4th/North-West College 2: How long is your program? 15 Months 3: Why are you becoming an LPN? I have wanted to get into the healthcare field since I was a kid. It may sound cliche, but I do love to help other people and I want a career where I can give my all the helping other people every day, and be proud of what I do for a living. I have tried to get into the RN program at the community college, and there are too many people to even get a seat in Anatomy and Physiology. I would love to eventually earn my RN. It is my dream to work in psychiatric nursing eventually. :) 4: How much is your program? $20,000.

Yes. I am about to start my LVN program in two weeks. Our first term, we take Fundamentals of Nursing, Anatomy & Physiology, and Pharmacology. :)
