Roll call for LPN students starting in Jan 2012

I'm in the NOLA area :jester: and I just passed the TABE test for Delta College. I have to take care of my admission fee and financial aid but I will begin in the Jan 2012 class. I'd like to find other LPN students starting @ the same time to keep up with and offer mutual encouragement.

I am a non-traditional student (I'll be 38 next month). I decided not to do the Charity LPN or RN program first (was stressing myself out trying to bring up my GPA/prereqs @ Delgado ) and figured by the time I do all of that - I could at least have my LPN behind me and then move on to my BSN.

Anyone else in my same/or similar situation?

911brat,

Definately keep in touch! I'm even toying with the idea of blogging or vlogging my nursing school adventure (hmmm) I'll let you know! So nice to know that I'm not the only non traditional student out here in cyber world! :)

Yeah that would be fun to do. Also, you'd be able to look back at how you excelled in the program and personally! The confidance by the end of the program I think would be tenfold :) I'll try a practise run. Haha! I

I am 38 and in Texas...have 4 teenagers. I am both nervous and excited about this. I am now regretting sleeping through classes in high school. But, am proving to my kids, no matter what age, you can accomplish anything you want!!

I am starting an Lpn program in Kentucky in Jan as well. I am 33 with 2 children ages 5 and 12. Currently, I am working as a Travel Agent and have put in my notice to quit working and focus on school 100%. It is nice to see so many others on here that aren't just fresh out of high school.

I wish all of you the best of luck! After next week, I'll be half way done with my LVN program already! :yeah:That year goes by super fast!

It was definitely a tough journey but if you have the drive to succeed, you can do it =]
