People are so dumb. What do they think you are then? What do they think LPN stands for? Little pretend nurse? No. It stands for licensed practical nurse. I'm 28 and ill b 29 in a couple of weeks and I've been an LPn since I was 21. I haven't been able to go back to school due to financial reasons and have to work full time and couldn't afford the $28,000 for the Lpn to RN bridge program that's only a year and is the only bridge program where I live. But I've finally had enough and am applying to go bit will still b on a 2-3 year long waiting list but it will be worth it in the end.

Becoming an rn is going to be harder than I thought. It seems like its all about money money money. 100 for the application fee then a physical from doctor which can b 250 or more then 85 for a pre entrance exam. Then the program comes to 23,000. 30 min south from me is another bridge program that only comes to close to 9,000 but ill have to drive 30 min every day to get there. In both programs I have to have algebra and chemistry before I can even appply which can cost thousands. This is really crappy.to top it off how do we work full time so we can have a roof over our heads and food to eat plus the gas to drive 30 min away every day and go to school full time.
