yeah today was our FIRST clinical at the skills lab. it was fun...hehe....lots of bed making, handwashing and sterile field gloves....tomorrow we get to bath each other. did you guys have to do this? some of the people in our class freaked a little with the concept. i honestly don't see what the issue is...we will be fully clothed with shorts and a tank, and we will not do private parts (of course!!!).

was this your first on sight clinical? do you mean you were only there half the day and then back to school? how did it go? are you enjoying this journey? and oh, they did confirm to our class that we are the ones that they have decided to add MATH along with the other curriculums. so we have lots of math ahead in this term, we did some today and will have more to come.

math is not my strong point, but i am glad to know that we are being eased into it so that by the time we get to dosage calcs I won't feel so rusty.

do you guys go tomorrow too? yeah miss Sandy is very nice.

My goal was to get my LVN only to apply to the LVN-RN bridge programs at local community colleges and try to bypass the long wait. I'm not familiar with the wait now but when I had my prenursing prereqs done it was 3 years. I got my LVN, applied to local colleges ASAP, waited a year for notification and I got in. I waited two years and have nursing experience.

Stanbridge helped a lot as far as ATI & NCLEX questions went. I was fortunte enough to have great clinical intstructors. I also liked the PDA drug guides and plan on buying one after I finish my RN.

That's great news. I hear that alot of the best theory and clinical instructors the school has ever had are no longer there. I am fortunate enough to have an awesome clinical instructor, Dr. Young. Yes, Stanbridge does prepare well with their NCLEX style questions and ATI Q's. That's a definite plus. For these reasons, I choose to look past and bite the bullet when it comes to the school being unorganized at times.

Thats's great to hear of a successful stanbridge graduate, pushing ahead. All the more encouragement to push ahead and study for that Killer exam tommorow on Blood and CV system!

Good for you. Good luck with your RN program

Thank you! I've finally adjusted to the RN program here. Rns have so much more independence, something I'm not used to as an LVN.

Good luck in your classes and keep your head up. You'll be an LVN before you know it.

I can say Stanbridge was the best choose I made to be on an LVN program, comparison to other schools which I did my research prior on enrolling to Stanbrige, this school met my satisfaction and yet as all we can say it's not perfect, of course every school has there goods and bads but Standbridge still excell to my expectation. You can just look at the California Boards and view all the school passing rate, you can see there that no matter what other says those numbers can't lie, compare to other schools... 36% passing rate, wow!!!! Scary!!!

I was on the PT first term program and now to a Full Time track (believe me that was a crazy transition, having two kids, wife, and a full time job) in a couple of weeks we are taking our 3rd Term Finals which is ATI.... (good luck to me)

Another than that GOOD LUCK TO EVERY AND GOD SPEED!!!!
