Hi! Just wanted to share my excitement of acceptance into Lpn program!! I took the entrance exam in April and did my interview several weeks later.....so I feel like I was waiting FOREVER to know if I was accepted or not!!!

Our first quarter we covered basic structure and function of the human body, basic skills lab, and clinicals in a local nursing home. Our very first class covered study tips which I poo-pooed but now wish I had taken more seriously. I would have to say my best advice to anyone just starting out is: If at all possible set aside a particular time each day to study. Try to make it a habit even if you are just reading an article about nursing. But use that time each day.

My study habits got sloppier and sloppier throughout the year, which made life more stressful!

I finished the whole LPN program with a 3.4 GPA, but you would never know it from my study habits and stress level.

The absolute best of luck to you.
