I start Aug 19 11 month program I am becoming a nurse because of my love for people, I love to help people no matter the scenario. I have been a beautician for 12 years and it just wasn't doing it for me and my family anymore. For me it just wasn't rewarding anymore, I need more! With the failing economy i was loosing customers to DIY ers, meaning people in small towns are cutting costs wherever they can! I feel nursing will be very rewarding and it will give me the challenges I need in a career. Nursing will also give me financial security, something I have never had, as being self employed all of my working days. I am 31 and scared to death to try and do this with 3 small children at home. But.... God brought me to this and HE will bring me through it!! My goal is to bridge over to RN after completion of LPN. tuition is $9496 all other expenses aprox. $7000 not including graduation expence I am not for sure yet on days and times
