New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :)

I just got my acceptance phone call this afternoon!!! I'm so excited to be starting May 4th!!!

Hey everyone!

I start April 13th and am excited, scared, nervous.....running the whole gamut of emotions here! I'll be working fulltime too while in school. It's going to be hard work but I can do this! We all can do this! Congrats to everyone!

Hi all - I'm new to this thread - not sure how I missed it lol! I'm starting a full time LPN program in September. I will be taking A&PI and A&PII over the summer to help lighten the load a bit. My long term plan is to hopefully bridge to the RN program starting in September 2011. We'll see how that all goes :-).

We already had our orientation (seems early compared to lots of the posts) so we know that we have to wear white scrub pants and coat with hunter green tops. I don't think we have to wear scrubs on our non-clinical days but thanks to the thread I will now know to check on that!

So much great info here - I definitely will be running out to get flashcards and a nclex book right away. I've been out of school for so long (20 years) any head start can only help!

I do know my schedule for first semester will be something like this:

Mon - Clinical Day 7-3
Tues - Fundamental of Nursing 8:30 - 11:30 then most likely a math course that I need to take
Wed - Clinical Day 7-3
Tues - Fundamental of Nursing 8:30 - 11:30 and math
Fri - Throughout the semester we take 4 (1) credit courses - Growth & Development, Human Behavior (I get a pass on this because I took Psych in my early college career), Nutrion and Microbiology

Second semester is very similar but Friday's will be free day and I won't need anything other than my Nursing courses and clinical.

Hi,

I am starting school on 4/8 at CCTS. I see I may have a fellow classmate on here. I am just about ready, still awaiting a few books to be delivered....

Just starting my search for white scrubs and believe me this is no easy task... I mean I have found stores that carrry them but for the price and quality (too sheer) you can see the pockets right through them. I am still on the hunt. Funny, how an assumed easy task always seems to become a bit complicated.

I am filled with anxiety as the first day of school approaches....
Would like to wish every one some luck and remember to stay focused!
