Applied Technology Roll Call 2011!

[proudauntie415]

Hello Everyone!

Just got my acceptance letter to the LPN program for Applied Technology! I am so excited! The 3-4 semester wait list for the RN program is just too long since I already have an associates, seems silly to do 2 years waiting, then 2 years in the program so 4 years for a second associates? psh, no way. Gonna do LPN then get my BSN!

So who is out there that got accepted! Lets get to know one another! We have a long year ahead of us!! Congrats everyone!:heartbeat

Hi Sheryl & Ashley

It is almost the end of week one in the LPN program & it is going great. We already have two test scheduled for next week. One in A & P and the other in Personal & Vocational Concepts. We have a great group of students in the class & the instructors all seem great so far. Hope all is well with you guys.

Wow! Thanks Jessica! Thanks for keeping us in the loop :) :redpinkhe

The countdown is making me so anxious! So excited, can't wait to start!! Glad to know it is going well. Good luck on your tests! I'm sure you are kicking butt already!

Thanks for the update! I was really hoping you'd let us know what's going on so far. Thanks again! :)

Hi Ladies,

so its almost time for you guys to be starting the program. I know u guys are very excited. We are almost done with one of the classes already. We have one more exam for that class & tuesday is the last day. We have had so many exams, about 3 a week so study, study, study.

We have all 28 classmates still so far so hopefully it stays that way, but when this class ends tuesday, if anyone didn't get at least a 75% overall, they will have to be dropped from the program.

I also have you guys schedule, if you want to know what classes you guys will be in let me know.

[proudauntie415, LPN, RN]

Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop! :redbeathe I am getting excited and very nervous:uhoh3:!!

Yeah, a good heads up for our class schedule would be awesome, you could post it or send it via email [email protected]! Good luck on your exam, but it sounds like you are staying ahead of the game!

Are you working right now? Do you think a few hours a night is going to be doable? BTW what is your name?

I am Sheryl, and it's nice to meet you!

[AshleyinSTL]

Yes, thank you very much for keeping us updated! I'd love to see the schedule as well. [email protected] is my email address. Good luck to you!

[Foreverstl]

Ok I sent the email, but sorry Sheryl, I forgot to answer your questions.

My name is Jessica & I still work right now, but only on the weekends. Im not sure if working a few hours a night will be ok for you but I would not recommend it at all. There are exams every week almost everyday of the week. This week exams, Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri. Next week Mon, Tues, Thurs. There will be plenty of evenings you will probably need to do nothing but study. But their are people who have worked during the week & still do ok. Im a CNA right now & I do day, evening doubles on Sat, & Sun.

So that is just a little advice. I wish you both good luck Sheryl and Ashley.

:ancong!:

Yeah I would love LOVE weekends, like 2 twelve hour shifts on the weekends, but no one is hiring, well at the hospitals at least I got a job with a home care agency but who knows if thats enough hours?

Nice to meet you Jessica! Thanks for all your advice and help, it's really giving me an idea of what to expect, it's so hard to know what I can do for a job, cause I don't know what my life will be like. lol

Thanks again!

Hey all. Good to be pre-meeting you. Congratulations! I start next Monday at South. I've done legal asst. work for about 20 years, and finally had an opportunity to go for my dream job. Yeah, I know, most will say "What? LPN Dream job?" I live in Bloomsdale, MO, and will be commuting quite a distance. I'm pretty anxious about it, as both of my parents are going through some pretty serious health issues right now, so I've been very busy with that. It might seem like a vacation :)

[proudauntie415, LPN, RN]

Hey NettiMaria! :cheers:

Great to be "pre-meeting" you as well! I am getting so excited. I am sorry to hear about your parents. But we are all gonna be here for each other cause I am sure we are all gonna be experiencing some stresses. This is a major full time commitment, but we can do it together! Just a few days and we will be officially LPN students..crazy

If you need anything, just holler!
