Official Acceptance Letter

OMG....I just received my acceptance letter this past weekend. I am sooo excited. I am going through the process now to make arrangements for paying my tuition. The total including the board exams after completion comes out to about $10,000.00. which is not that bad compared to some of the other private schools that i also had applied to. Two of them in NJ. One was $22,000.00 and the other $18,000.00. I am a little nervous, as I don't really know what to expect in class. I just know that it is a very accelerated LPN program and I will not have time for anything else that is not studying.

Some of you guys have called me in regards to issues posting comments I will see if I can fix it so that you can post. Even if you don't or can't post comments thank you for being here. I know that some of you did not make it to my program I am very sorry, but know that where there is a will, there is a way and I promise if you let him God will lead you in the right direction. Some of you have decided to go to other schools and were accepted, congratulations to you. You know who you are.

I hope that I can help someone somehow by posting my experience here on becoming a nurse. I am sure that there will be times that I may want to cry or vent during the program or clinicals as I heard from students in my school that it happens a lot. I will keep you guys posted. Anyway, I need to take care of other things so that they don't interfere once class begins. I will go to one of my favorite websites www.allnurses.com to get some advice. I will keep you all posted after class begins. Class will begin in four weeks. I am so happy. Thank you Lord GOD. It would not have been possible without you. Please see me through to the end. Amen.

Interview Phase

It has been about two weeks since my interview. It was among the hardest interviews that I have ever attended. The questions were not that difficult. They required some basic knowledge of what LPN's do etc... I am a little anxious due to the fact that they mentioned that they have to review my application and test scores with the committee before I will be invited to another interview. WOW. I had no idea that I needed to undergo more than one interview in order to be accepted into the school. I don't know what else to think, my test scores where high I think I answered all the interview questions correctly. Unless they did not like my response to their question of why I wanted to become an LPN, I think the process went well. I answered that question clearly and honestly. The hardest question for me was why did I not pursue nursing from the beginning. I answered very honestly. I hope they appreciated my honesty.

Phase two of LPN school

I am so excited and nervous. Today, I received a phone call from the LPN program inviting me for an interview with the school. This is the second phase of the application process to enter the program. The interview will be conducted on Monday. I just need to prepare some answers for the potential questions. I hope that all goes well.
