That is great about the LPN school bridges to the RN program. Have you talk to them to see what they suggest about your A&P classes. I hate to see you take that 3 times.

Sounds good! I think you do know which direction you are going. I would have done the same thing. I looked into both kind of schooling. It was by luck that I found the Vo-tech, but I had every intention of going to the other even if it was an hou...

This is what the site is for! Sometimes you just have to hear others suggestions. No question is stupid (quote from my mother) The opinions you read from others is just that, but they do help. I am a LPN and thats as far as I am going. My brothe...

Remember one thing, You are the student. You are learning. This is not your paying job. Slow down, think, stay organized. Keep a small notebook in your pockets regarding the floor, where things are, what you need to do. Everyone started new som...
