   February 26th for me! I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but these last few months have seemed even more tough than the beginning.

5. Go for PCT or LPN???

   bear19kilosgirl2 replied to Misslady113's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I would choose LPN as well. 10 months will fly by. My program is 11 months but by the time you take out vacation time and student holidays it is only about 9 months. It is fast paced but managable. I also have kids, three of them and my husband trave...

   Never be afraid to ask if you don't know. It will be much more impressive to have a student with you that is not afraid to admit that they need help than to be a know it all. Just try and make sure your questions are appropriate for the situation.

    bear19kilosgirl2 replied to kayjay5478's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    What subject are you currently studying? Depending on the subject, there are hands on models and premade flashcards that can be very helpful and would save you some time because you are not having to rewrite things. You can also photocopy your power ...

    bear19kilosgirl2 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The coursework in my program is very fast pace. Just when you think you can breath you have another assignment or two or three due. It is manageable and completely doable if you want it. When clinical's start you will still be responsible for class w...

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

    bear19kilosgirl2 replied to Ericad85's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The best thing that I can suggest is to study with a group or even one person that is as focused as you. The only problem with large study groups that I have found is sometimes people come along to socialize and then no studying is actually done. Mak...
