Hey fellow students. I start the Lvn program on Monday and very stoked! Any last minute advice would be much appreciated. What should I expect? And for anyone currently in Lvn program, how's the class so far? Thank you! :-)

1. Do Not get behind in your reading

2. Stay away from the drama

3. Get into a study group

4. Practice, practice, practice your skills

5. Live, laugh and breathe

I am in an LVN program and it is so overwhelming when you first start, but having a study group really helps bounce information off each other. Instructors will throw a lot of information at you the first week and so you really need to stay focused on the task at hand...graduating!!!

Congrats to you and best of luck on your journey.
