  1. 2 Days in and the doubt is seeping in...need to vent

    Thanks for the comment. I'm kind of freaking out and doubting myself a lot today because I'm not loving class and it's making me even doubt if I want to be an LVN. I don't know what to do and how to turn this around. When did class get really int...
  2. Southern California Thread

    I don't know where you are located in Southern California but Belmont Village is opening a new facility in Westwood and is hiring LVNs. I think there was actually a job fair for it. Good luck with your search . Today class is so boring . We are le...

    Thanks. I was pre-med many years ago in college so I have some science background. I also have some good tutors on medicine from my family that I can call upon.
  4. 2 Days in and the doubt is seeping in...need to vent

    Thanks a bunch. It actually does help. You are right that I shouldn't care what other people are doing and that it's too early to judge. I guess the point I'm still hung up on is whether or not this is the kind of care I want to provide to help pe...
  5. Ok I need some serious advice here. I am 2 days into my program and I've already felt doubt about being here. Part of what brought me to the program is the economy. My field of social services (gerontology) got hit hard so I decided to go to LVN s...
  6. Southern California Thread

    I thought I would start a thread to check in with LVN students and current LVN people in Southern California. I'm in Glendale and tomorrow is my second day of school. I have a quiz on Foundations that should be pretty easy. So I know it's super ear...
  7. Part time job?

    Hi everyone, I just started LPN school and I'm thinking of taking a part time job as a caregiver to have something to do since class is only 4 days a week. I'm not finding anything else and wondering if anyone thinks that I pursue this or just focus...
  8. Starting school and terrified

    First day wasn't bad at all. It was kind of slow even which help me get over my pre-class jitters. I know it will pick up a bunch though and get more difficult but today made me happy. Our teacher certainly drilled in Foundations of Nursing into o...
  9. Starting school and terrified

    Thanks bcskittlez. I have a few questions for you. About how many chapters were you assigned each class and how much reading did you spend every day? Did you make flash cards for the tests? How often were you tested? I guess I can get these questio...
  10. Starting school and terrified

    Well class starts tomorrow and I tried to get a head start by reading the first chapter on foundations of nursing and then quickly read intro to anatomy. Every time I start to think about school I get a sick feeling to my stomach. Hopefully it will...
  11. Starting school and terrified

    Hello, I'm starting school on Monday and I'm terrified of it being too difficult. I'm scared of the testing and difficulty of subject matter. I have a Master's Degree in gerontology but I'm scared of this. I know I'm smart. What has people's expe...
  12. I start classes on Monday May 4th and I'm extremely nervous. My class schedule is 8:30-2:30 for 4 days of the week and I'll be attending CES college in Glendale (saw another person in Glendale on this post). I would appreciate any words of wisdom or...
