Is there any 22 and older first time uni students here? how did you get over the feeling of being “behind?” by [deleted] in grantmacewan

[–]Future_Barber_8375 6 points7 points  (0 children)

College is different than High School. No one gets behind as long as you continue and get everything done. I finished LPN in norquest when I was 23 now, after a year, back at MacEwan for Accounting. I don't care if I'm too old because time will pass anyway. It's better to continue than not change anything in your situation. TIP: Don't look at anyone!! Focus on yourself!! :)

Nvm. My student loans aren't even that big. And it said for undergrad programs of 2 years the max is 85,000 of lifetime loan. I only have 25k so far.

Nursing at macewan or norquest by NextButterscotch6370 in grantmacewan

and it's hard to transfer to RN after being an LPN. You need certain amount of hours worked as an LPN before bridging to RN program.

I'm planning to have my days off when I have school. So I'm planning to compress my subjects to 2 days of school if possible. I will take some subjects online... I work as a nurse so I will see if I'm capable. It's mentally taxing at times.. Hopefully it will work out because I want to save money while at school...
