It’s that time of the year again. Summer is coming to a close, the leaves are turning, and you are beginning to spend your money on books instead of bathing suits. Whether you can’t wait to get back to the daily grind of studying and late nights, or you wish summer would last another three months, you need to be ready for that first day of class. Make the most out of the first semester with our helpful Back to School Guide.

I am in need of help! I am an Illinois resident and an LPN for 19 years. I have all my prereqs completed for a transition program to RN at my local college. Now I find out I have to wait a few years to even get in it because of the extremely high amount of enrolles that have occured since I began my prereqs... I have done alot of my own research to figure out what is happening to us LPNs who desire to get our RN degree... It is almost impossible!!! I am really upset with this state of Illinois. I have contacted local law makers and even springfield. NO HELP!!!! The state of Illinois will not even let LPNs go thru a NLN approved online RN program... I have begun to look outside the state of Iliinois for schools. Any one out there that has the same problem? I dont give up easily and ready to team up with others to pursue a way to make LPN's have equal rights of getting into an RN program!!!!! Casey

Peg, I returned to school last year, 24 years after my first bachelor's degree. I was 41. You will find that the life experiences we have had will help you a lot. I was fearful that I would not remember how to study...I was way wrong. I can study well and I found study groups to be very helpful. Good luck and stay determined. You will be fine!

good article, but i have a problem with getting into study groups because everyone lives so far away and they seem to have made there own study groups. how should i go about asking them if i can study with them. I know lots of them live close by each other and far away for me. So i cant go and meet up with them. Help.
