SWIC Summer '18
I was told we would hear back mid April. I also got a letter that had very big bold words that said "THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTANCE LETTER". It was informing me to have money for a physical and shots. I don't know if you guys are saving or how you plan to pay for things, but I do remember from LPN school that there are always a bunch of unplanned expenses.

If the day to schedule classes passes it won't matter because only people who are in the program can schedule for nursing classes. That could be a way to find out if you are in though. See if it lets you schedule a nursing class

How is being an LPN different from being a CNA?
Oops I meant cna not cans! My phone is auto editing

How is being an LPN different from being a CNA?
The cans will now look to you for answers. You will have to deal more with families and doctors. You will be a great nurse because you understand the care needed to take care of someone. You may have to pass meds depending on where you work. You have to pay more attention to details because you will be taking drs orders. Make sure you get a good orientation before they throw you out by yourself. Good luck

You have to have surgery? That happened to me. My face was huge! That was over 10 years ago though so hopefully they have a better way to remove them.

This wait is killing me! Why do they make us wait so long? What is everyone doing to help the time go by?

Low gpa and failure in pre reqs. Am I doomed?
It depends on the program. I myself have come across this same issue so I found a new route. Research schools and do what is best for you.

LPN to BSN programs
If you retake a few classes you can get your gpa up then apply to a program. That would be the fastest route and cheapest

Don't give up
Thanks for the response! I agree. It is important not to waste money on school if you dont really have a passion for your degree.
