Hi everyone! I start this fall and am excited too! I'm not at all sure what to expect as for how the day to day schedule will go...or clinicals...but it will be busy I'm sure!

This is an awesome thread. I am also happy to see a few fellow TTC people here. I start TTC @ Dickson on May 4th.

Thanks for all the advice on reading. I questioned all the LPNs on my job that were happy to share their knowledge, and most all of them wished they had A&P, Pharmacology, and Medical terminology flash cards prior to attending class. So, I went and got some.

Good luck to everyone. *sprinkles nursing dust*

I am so happy I found this site!! Since I still have over a month to go I am taking everyones advise and am gong to brush up now. I am headed to the library today!

According to my school handbook, 4 sets of scrubs with the schools name (no idea about the color yet, I'm hoping they aren't white!)and a stethoscope are including. I guess I will know more when I go to orientation next month. Can't wait!

GL to everyone starting!

Congrats to all of you future nurses.. I do not know any of you but i still have to say that i am very proud and happy for all of you. I am halfway done with my LPN program and i must say it takes a lot of hard work and determination but it is absolutely do-able. Please dont get discouraged!!! and make sure you STUDy STUDY STUDY STUDY STUDY.......
I am currently in the medical surgical nursing 2 phase and i found that those practice nclex-pn cd's helped me out a lot because as you all may have heard on orientation day that all of the test questions that you will get from now on will be nclex based and believe they are all critical thinking type of questions. The way i see it when its time for me to take the boards i will already have a heads up about the nature of questions i might be asked. anyway i am getting way ahead of myself. again congratualtions to all of you. and i wish you all the best.

We have the same start date! Where will you be going? I have been researching this site like a mad woman trying to learn all I can!

First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS to you all!!!

I have not posted here in a while because I did not get into the program I was trying to get in. (2006)

I was accepted into the EMT-Intermediate program at the same school so I focused on that for a year. (2007-2008) And I graduated just in time to hear service jobs were being cut. I realized there was a lot of BS going on with the school's nursing program... and heard about another program further away. I enrolled there and finished my last pre-req Wednesday...

I was notified Friday that I was accepted into the LPN program!!!

I am SO excited. I've been wanting this for SO long. I have to register Tuesday and class starts Wednesday (April 1st) and our orientation is that day after class. I will keep you all posted!

Again, congratulations to everyone and if anyone is reading this while in limbo...never let go of your dream!!!
