Who is starting LPN in August?

KIMMY03 · Jul 9, 2008

I applied at another (far away) school on a whim because my current colleges RN wait list was too long and I heard my local Vo Tech 's LPN program was impossible to get into. I got accepted and later found out the school was a rip off, charging waaaay too much with a really low pass rate.

I then went (on a whim) and applied at my local Vo Tech the same day which was in the beginning of may, and took the TABE that day (passed), took the NET the next day (passed), took the drug test the next day (passed), submitted my paperwork, essay, documents, and references the following day and had to wait 3 WEEKS for an interview!

I'm not good at waiting! (as you can tell) I like to get things done once they've gotten started!

I had my interview may 28th, waited ANOTHER 3 wks, found out i was accepted and have been waiting ever since for july 21st (orientation).

Once thats done with, I will have to wait some more for aug. 18th because thats when I start. I hate waiting!! And I know once I start I will regret all the time that I wasted waiting when I could have used it more productively (sleeping...watching TV...!!!) but i'm so anxious for school to get started already!!!

Thats my story!

I am starting Sept 3rd, but I know how you feel! I took the entrance exam last October, got my acceptance letter in November...then had to wait all the way until June to have my orientation, and then I have to wait all the way until Sept to start. All the mean time I was also waiting for financial aid to look at my FAFSA application for financial aid. I applied in February, my college didnt even look at them until April, and I didnt get an answer until June....but now I am soooo excited and cannot WAIT for school to start...I wish it was now hahahah!!!

That's my story:)

I will be starting LVN school on August 25th... I just went and picked up my uniforms today! Already bought all but 4 of my textbooks as well as my stethoscope and all the extras to go with it. And am anxiously waiting for Walmart to stock it's school supply aisle so I can buy fun pens, notebooks, etc...lol. I go to a local community college in Waco, TX. I'm about 2 months shy of hitting 34, married with a 14 year old son whom I home school (he's ADHD amongst other things), and work full time doing private duty CNA care for an elderly (94!) gentleman. I have no clue how I'm going to juggle it all, but I'm determined! Best of luck to everyone here!!!!
