I am totally stoked about getting into LPN school for the Spring 2013 semester. I feel like I can finally begin a new chapter in my life and start moving forward instead of constantly starting over. With that being said, I feel like I am meeting some...

Thanks for your insight. It just feels like my time is now. I don't really understand the lack of support from my family. So after my first semester I can possibly get hired somewhere as a CNA? Would I have to take some sort of test or anything?

Hey! Sounds like our plans are similar in nature. I don't know where you are from but here we have a school that offers a BSN/MSN track. Because of this, I have decided to get my ADN first so that I can work on my BSN and MSN at the same time and pos...

Hey y'all! I recently found out I was excepted into my desired program. Now I am waiting to find out if I will receive funding from WIA. The last time I talked to my facilitator, she said they had a number of people who were using funds for the LPN p...

Good luck to you as well ManofStone. I might just have to do the same. VintageMother, I would love to work graveyard somewhere but I don't have a CNA license. My school requires full payment upon registration. I wish they would give me at least until...

My LPN program starts January 2nd! I am excited but panicked already. I didn't find out I got in until last week and now I have 1,000,000,000,000 things to do! CPR certification, immunizations, physical dental, background, pray for $$... Lol, I can g...

I'm starting LPN school soon and I am excited. I don't care if people say I am not going to be a real nurse because I am. Real classes that will lead to a real job that will help real people. If everyone was required to go through the "pecking order"...

Definitely depends. You need to check with your school. The school I want to get my RN at only goes by your last 24 credit hours which should include your prereqs. Another school I looked at goes by GPA for all schools attended. I think the best thin...

Great post. Tis all! :)

Is anyone else still waiting to see if they will gain acceptance or not into their respective program? I have never really been a patient person but they keep extending the time it will take for prospective students to get their letters. The wait is ...

I'm from Alabama and will be going to Trenholm Tech. The school is very well known here for the quality of its grads so I am very excited. Have you gotten a sample schedule or anything yet? I have mine and its pretty hectic. Its about 16 hrs per seme...

OMG CONGRATS! We are starting at the same time. This year will fly by! Congrats again!

7 of 25? Goodness! Congrats on graduating. Your program sounds pretty rigorous so I am sure you will knock your NCLEX out of the park!!

I was just reading some information about this a few days ago. Here are some links that should answer your question. Medical Assistant Medical Assistants : Occupational Outlook Handbook : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics LPN/LVN Licensed Practical and...

Hey and welcome! My reasons for wanting to enter the field are very similar to yours. I have grown up with a lot of family members who relied on home health due to strokes. My father had cancer in his prostate (removed), liver, and kidneys (reduced b...

I got in to LPN school! I am officially starting in Spring 2013! WOO HOO!!

Woot woot! Congrats! *Party at your place!* :)

The college I want to go to doesn't require shots, records, etc until after. I couldn't imagine going through all of that hassle and expense and not being accepted! I would not be a happy person...

@ilidawn I just landed a job today so that will take up some of my time. Sounds like you're really rolling with Kaplan. Thankfully there still seems to be a sizeable demand for LPNs where I live. They still even hire them in hospitals. When will you ...

Hey. I'm sorry you didn't do as well as you hoped. I recommend taking more time to study and maybe try building your math skills from the ground up. The firmer your foundation, the better. I used Pre-Algebra Demystified to study and the Khan Academy ...

Yikes! January? When would you actually start school? I did everything kind of last minute to avoid a long wait. Didn't work out quite how I had planned though. Looking at your timeframe, another week or 2 doesn't seem so bad. Best of luck on your TE...

you're totally welcome! Best of luck to you!!

Girl you are my shero! For some it is easy to just lay down and wallow in self-pity or resign themselves to staying in their current situation. I too am hoping to be starting LPN school soon. When I got laid off I lost my home, my car, and my dignity...

As so many others have already said, "big bucks" is subjective. I really hate the way people seem to disparage those receiving public assistance. I, unfortunately, have had to rely on food stamps and Medicaid as a single person (I only qualified for ...

I'm just curious to know what you all think are the best places to begin an employment search and how soon before graduation/licensure would you want to start searching. Also do you think you have better chances of finding employment in or out of sta...
