Ok first i need to know how hard is it to get accepted into the program? i already read the fine print not every student accepted but im sure as heck ready to fight for this if i have to im tired of being stepped on! BUT i also have a student loan just finding a scholorship to let me in will be a challenge in and of itself! AND THEN yeah its gets better the LVN program is an hr away!! How the heck shall i commute that much each day? i dont think my vehicle can take the abuse!! Im just wondering is all this trouble actually gonna be worth it? i talked to the financial people and im just more confused and im not about to make another 10K$$ mistake! I want to do it if its worth it but if not i should know the downfalls now!

If you want to, just sign up for it, see how it goes and maybe they have online classes you can take too. Not all in class lectures. IVs actually aren't all that hard to do, they teach people really well with the robotic people in the lab.

i chkd the other college here in my town but they dont have an LVN or nursing program at all!! and the one at the school i orginally went is for an RN which im not really interested in! i dont think i can  put IVs in people!  I can do it all but not that! i want to do college but IDK what else im interested in! my mom thinks i should go ahead and get registered there and start the scholorship process and see what happens i am just all confused on it!

and WOW! about the waiting list! that could be here too i dont know our town is 100K people and the next town over so thats 200K people! YIKES what if there is a waiting list! the other town does have a program but stricter guidlines and yeah from  my house at least 45 mins to get there so same deal!

Any nursing program is competitive. Though a lot of it depends on where you live, what school you want to go to, etc. I know that a bunch of the nursing schools near me have a waiting list to get in. It's difficult. Is there another school that is closer? I think you'd get burnt out driving back and forth for 2 hrs each day. I commute half the time and it gets old fast! I hate having to drive so much to go to school. Personally, I wouldn't go to that school.
