    I started out for RN so I took all those pre-req.s then ended up jumping into the LPN clinicals but I'll say this - as you go through as you start to get a lot of those classes behind you, you are going to feel SO GREAT (and tired, of course) but it will be worth it in the end. Try to get a feel for who you can lean on in your class. My LPN class was great...we leaned on eachother, stuck together and as time went on got really close. We weren't required to take the medical terminology class but I had a light semester early on so I took it and was glad for it...that one really helps you find your way around! Best Wishes to you!

    Fundamentals of Nursing, Anatomy And Physiology, Working Relationships, Personal and Community Health, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Gerontology, Nutrition, Medical/Surgical Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, Obstetrical Nursing and Psychiatric Nursing.
    Along with those classes we also had a total of 1,093 clinical hours, got our certs in IV, Phleb and Pharmacology. It was an awesome program to say the least! Hope that info helped some, just one question...why did you ask?
