The wait is finally over...

[HopefulLPN83]

after over 5 weeks i got my....*drum roll please* [color=#ffd700]acceptance letter for the school i applied to! september 24th will be the first day of my pursing my lpn degree.

i am very excited and very nervous. i have that "oh snap...now what" feeling haha.

i view this as my last and pretty much final attempt to pursue something in school. the funny thing is when i was 18, i had this huge dream. i wanted to become a nurse (rn). the program was very competitive where i was so i switched majors say about 4 times (economics, pre-med biology, sociology, business administration-marketing). it took me close to 11 years (graduate from college in 2001) to finally realize where my heart has always been.

it was hard waiting and i was ready to accept the outcome either way it went. just so thankful it went the way i was praying it would.

...now to really hit the books :)

Congrats! I'm an "older" student too (based on info you gave, I think we are probably about the same age.. 33?) and it feels wonderful to finally be starting on educational goals that will lead to my career!

Congrats to you, it's a very exciting thing! Please don't think I'm picking, I swear I'm not, but....it's not a degree you're looking to get, but a certificate that lets you sit for the NCLEX-PN licensing exam. Not an LPN degree, but an LPN license :)

Now go get 'em!

Yay! Good for you!
