I'll do Step 3 next year, but I have already chosen my school ( almost ). It's between Georgia Perimeter College or Georgia Highlands College.

So far i am at step 3, I already chose my school, so just waiting. I am already taking some of the nursing classes. And let me tell you....it does take alot of your time. i found it is difficult when you are not too good in math. So i had to drop and refresh on my math, then went back to take the class. SO now....everything falls into place. Pharmacology....

I am in LVN school. I wish you would have touched on that type of nurse. They are used alot in the area that I live in. One hospital just hires LVNs and just has one RN per nursing unit. I live in Texas and LVNs are used alot.
