I read a thread (can't remember the one) saying something about having to have a physical before school (it might've been about the RN program though), is this common? If it is common practice, what exactly do they check during the physical? I'm just curious because i've had high cholesterol in the past, and I also have a heart condition (mitralvalveprolapse), and i'm hoping those won't deter me from school.

Hiya, I was wondering what kind of rules they have in LPN school, mainly pertaining to clothing/hair? I was just curious, after reading several posts about how strict they can be sometimes. The clothing part doesn't bother me (very conservative dresser anyway), but the hair part does. Do they make you wear your hair up/in a ponytail? My hair is not too long, about 6 inches below my shoulders, but i'm not fond of wearing my hair in a ponytail/or up, but of course I will if it's required. I know it's silly, was just wondering what to expect :)

Hiya, I've been reading the forums for awhile now, and this is my first post :) A little history about myself: I attended a state college right out of highschool, but didn't finish (couldn't decide what major, also had trouble with college-level math courses). I dropped out a couple of times, went back, but then finally just quit. It's been 6 years since i've been in school now, so i'm pretty rusty on just about everything. I'm going to be attending a local vocational school in the Fall for the LPN program, and i'm pretty nervous. My questions: Are there alot of mathematics required in the LPN program? I've had trouble with math my whole life, and i'm afraid it might be the one stumbling block to finishing. The furthest math course I finished in high school was Geometry, and in college I had remedial math courses, and attempted but couldn't finish College Algebra. Since it's been awhile since i've had any type of schooling, are there any books/online things that I could study maybe to brush up on what i'll be studying in the LPN program? Sorry for the novel, thanks in advance! :)
