Would like your input ...

Just finished talking with my sister-in-law who is a recently graduated RN, now in Texas. She was encouraging me to pursue a career in nursing. I worked closely with my Mom during her 2-1/2 year battle with cancer and enjoyed all the medical ins and outs, although we lost her about a year ago. How do you go about becoming an LPN. I live in Mountain Home and work full-time. Oh ... I turn 50 this year, too! My sister-in-law went back to school when she was 49. What do y'all think?

go for it--you can do it...and it will probably change your life forever! You are never too old to start...best to you, heather/

:) You are never too old to go back to school. If you truely want it, GO for it. I'm sure you will do great! Good luck to you and keep us posted on what you decide(and when you start)! :kiss

anyone have any thoughts/suggestions on the best way to get started or how to look into getting started in the mountain home area?

I agree, go for it. If you can read you can learn!!!

Start with your LPN and who Knows?!!!!!

I was a late bloomer and have never regretted my decision.

I live over in southeastern Idaho now but I did go to BSU to get my RN (LONG time ago!). I don't know of any program in Mt. Home, but I am pretty sure there is an LPN program in Boise as well. I would suggest calling BSU nursing dept. (or checking online). I'm sure they could help you. Good luck!! Go for it!

Are you an LPN now?

Start researching schools on line and in your area. You are never too old. Go for it!!!!Diane

Check out the colleges & universities in your area, schedule an appointment with a student advisor, they'll help you get going with your prereqs. I went back to school when I was 43. Good luck you can do it.
