__LPN STUDENT SURVEY RESULTS__

__Note: The Methods used for this informal survey were as follow:__  1. There were 31 respondents to this survey, I abstained and did not vote  2. Some respondents chose more then one answer per question, or didn’t mark any answers at all on some questions. Therefore the total numbers of answers vary for each question; Only a few actually total 31 as the number of answers. I counted multiple answers equally.  3. If a respondent felt strongly enough about a question to write in their own answer rather then one on the list, I counted it and these “write-ins” are designated with an asterisk.  4. There are some interesting trends apparent in this survey and even a few surprises (at least to me). See what you think it all means (or not).  5. Thanks for participating. I welcome comments, thoughts, and insights.
