Congrats to Rosey and able!!! Happy for you! BTW, able? Was that you that emailed me in regards of my literature book listed on craigslist? Just curious since they had the same name as you

Yes, you can. But you will still have the old grades on your transcipts and they will still count towards your GPA. Just like the F I have for a class I never attended with them, I actually received...

It really upsets me when I hear people down talking LPNs. We work just as hard and in a hospital we do almost everything an RN does BUT we get paid LESS. LPN=Less Paid Nurse lol We all want to finish...

Yea, I am done with just about every class I need. I have Galen as a back up plan as well (If I don't wait to apply again next year). I like that they offer evening classes for working LPNs. And...

Wow, I think we have the same exact feelings. I mentioned earlier in this thread how I felt stuck in life and I agree, it is very depressing. I truly wish I didn't take the LPN route but I just wanted...
