Hi! I am an older stay at home mom who graduated from LPN School in 06. I worked 3 months in a doctor's office (long hours and low pay) and realized my kids still needed me at home and resigned from the job. Now, 2 years later, I'm ready to resume my nursing career. My question is how do I explain this to potential employers? Also, since its been 2 years, how can I "brush up" on my skills? Thanks!

I just took the course yesterday. They told us it would be from 8 - 4:30 and we were walking out the door at noon! I read the manual before the class but found out that you really didn't need too (but it of course helps). There was movie then a instructor shows us and lets us practice on the dummy. There was the multiple choice test at the end. If you paid attention to movie and instructor - you will be just fine. You can miss only 5 questions and I missed 1. Most people only missed 1 or 2. So don't panic - its pretty easy! Good luck.

Hi Everyone! I am also starting LPN School on August 30th. I am a stay at home mother of 4 who is also 40! This is going to be a great challenge for me but I am very excited but also nervous. Glad I came across this "LPN Club" - it will be nice to have some support! :)

Hi, I also live in Ohio and am starting LPN School in Akron. Where are you going?
