Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Well, I've embarked upon a journey that I thought I would never enter, but I have and it hasn't been all so bad(knock on wood, yet). What ever is to come in the near future I'll just have to deal with it and it'll work it self out.

Moving right along.......we've only had 2 test, I scored an 86 & 92%, we also have one today that I feel confident about. We're due to start clinical in another week or two. As of now we only have 14 students, all mostly working adults and 1 out of high school. We're soon to start A/P, in which I don't look forward to, but then again I have already been warned.

11 months seem so far away, but if I know anything I know time will fly.

To all those out there just getting started I'll just lend a few words of encouragement to hang in there and try to hold on to the light at the end of the tunnel.

~~~~Your desire to succeed must be greater than your fear of failure!~~~~

Congrats on making it one month! I'm going next week to talk to someone about enrolling at the start of 2014. Please keep us updated on what it's like in school. :)

Congratulations! Hang in there and keep us posted, please. LPN/LVN school I'm applying to doesn't take applications until November and I'm feeling very anxious to be where you are now.

Thanks! It will be here before you know it, then you won't have time. So use it wisely.

Hi everyone just wanted to give a word of encouragement. The program that I am enrolled in is 14 months long and I remember saying the same thing "1 month and 14 more to go." Now I can say 8 down and 6 more to go. Even though it has been a never ending journey of reading and studying I can say that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It has also been a journey with a lot of rewards especially when working in a clinical setting and being able to care for others. Just hang in there and read read read!!!! You will be done with your program before you know it :yes:

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I start clinicals tomorrow I am a bit fearful, but more of just wanna get it done so I can see that light. I really look forward to that day but right now i'll enjoy this bull ride :down:, until it's over.

Thanks

Well you ain't alone on the worried part! :facepalm: We did our orientation yesterday at a small hospital, which was pretty boring but the teacher did her best. The person in charge at the hospital made it known that she wouldn't be given us a tour after she had already done it for the teachers. So we we're free to tour the hospital ourselves...it was pretty basic.

I really felt a bit over whelmed, I don't prefer the hospital atmosphere and I have no intensions of working in one. We do need the hospital experience to complete our clinical, so I'll suck it up until I'm done. We will be going on Tue & Thurs for now.

Our class is the first so it's all a work in progress, and bit unorganized. I just pray to make it out safely and NCLEX pass rate free.

I'll keep you informed and you do the same please.

Best of luck!

I am also nervous about going to clinical. We start next week. What did you do when you went to the hospital? I got your message but I can't send private messages as yet.

Just a short tour of the place, went into a empty room &discussed all amenities and items in room, told what we will be doing, discussed a few scenariors.

Not much more than that.

Good luck! Sorry bout the underline.

Hello and congrats on taking the first step towards your dreams!

It has now been four months and I am still hanging in. I don't attend a traditional tech or college class, with that being said I do believe it isn't as strict and consistent as I've heard others to be. I do work f/t days and attend class evenings m-th & every other Sunday. It has worked out fine for me thus far.

I will advise you that once you have your schedule to start planning your days, prioritize. If you can get your books ahead of time, start reading in advance. Read up on all the necessary supplies needed to help you be successful. That's about all you can do in advance, put your safety jacket and your thinking cap on, you'll need it.

This was suppose to be an impossible task for me....seriously! I had so much going on that I just new it wouldn't work (after mannnnnyyy years of wanting it) but just stepped out on faith and gave it a try.

You can do this!

Best of luck and keep us informed!
