I've been striving to be a nurse almost my whole life. To make a long story short, this is the second go-round in the LPN program, and I'm trying so hard not to mess things up. The drug test and background is due by July 1st. I will not have the funds by then. I'm also having issues with financial aid to pay for the first term. But im really not worried about tuition at the moment, just one step at a time starting with the drug screening and back ground. I am a single mom of six, four daughters and twin boys. I want to make a better living for my children. A little goes a long way. Thanks on advance.
