My Year of Lpn School

Please keep posting your experiences in LPN school. I have read all of your post they are very helpful. I will be starting school at Louisiana Technical College in Hammond August of 2010.

Ditto Lady- thank you for your generousity in sharing your experience.

You are luckey your program is consecutive. I thought I needed a break after 18 weeks of classes but now that I have been off since May, and start again in two weeks, I feel like it was just time wasted. I can't wait to start again though, IV therapy, Med/Surg, Peds & OB then graduation, God willing, in December.

Thanks for posting your experiences. Its nice to see how other programs work. I must add that so far they all seem VERY different!

I am truly grateful that this Thread has been created!

I am currently in LPN/LVN school (in California, we are called LVN's). I started LVN school in March and graduate in Feb. 2010! I love every minute of it! It is an 11 month program and is Monday-Friday. We are now going cardiovascular and it's pretty crazy. So much information to learn in so little time. It seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel but I am not giving up. So many people have dropped out of the program, but I am determined not to be one of them. Next in the program that I can remember out the top of my head is Neuro, Peds, MAternity, Rehab, Leadership, Psych and... I can't remember. I've been doing pretty well in the program except for remembering the pharmacological drugs for specific cardiac problems.

I've passed meds, done foley catherters, given IM injections, accuchecks , and others. I'm just so excited

Oh my God - I just found this thread and I absolutely love it ! Please tell us about your free time - if any - and what you do on those days. Also, do you still love it ? This thread gets me so excited - yet nervous to start NS.....
