    Starting Over!

    OK, so I am currently an LPN student and am in my second semester. I did great first semester, but this one has been a whole different story. For starters, I decided I was capable of packing Med/Surg I and II, along with their clinicals, into an 8-we...

    Thank you very much! I am thankful that for our area, it does not matter if they are concurrently taken or not!

    I'll try to explain this as simply as I can. I will continue doing Med/Surg I theory now and if I pull my grade up, I will then be able to go on to Med/Surg II theory in July -- if I pass both, I will make up clinical portions in August and complete...

    LPN Student debating completing CNA instead

    Thanks everyone! I got the job, but will not be working full-time. I am going to continue on for my LPN with whatever it takes. This will be enough ease my financial stress and give me a sense of feeling like I can do for myself more often, rather th...

    Thanks for the tip! I talked with my adviser and she says I will have no complications with the state board from withdrawing from clinical this semester. I got the job, so I am hoping everything else is on it's way to falling into place as time pass...

    What a week! Withdrew from clinical...

    OK, so I could not begin to explain the issues in my life right now! I won't even spend time on yapping about that! Basically, so much has went on. This summer semester is 8 weeks, instead of our usual 15-week semesters. I was Mighty Mindy and decide...

    Thanks everyone! I am staying in the program. I withdrew from the clinical portions and am keeping theory. I will complete the clinical portion next semester, depending on the amount of clinical space they have. I also have a job interview tomorrow f...

    LPN Student debating completing CNA instead

    I am a second semester LPN student and am having very many hardships within this 8-week semester vs our usual 15-weeks. I have failed my first two exams of the summer semester and there is not enough time in the day to study as much as I am needing t...

    Just had my first hospital clinical day

    Hope my first official clinical day in Med/Surg turns out as good as yours did! I am so nervous it isn't even funny. Last semester I did LTC clinical rotations, now this just feels so nerve-racking. I couldn't tell you how I am feeling right now, all...

    Second Semester Tomorrow!

    I'll be taking Med/Surg I and II as well as their clinical portions in a 9-week span. I am excited, but at the same time very nervous. A fellow student sent me a text earlier today to remind me that we will be doing 19-point physical assessment and B...

    What are your study habits?

    I also feel the same as you. I've been wondering if I've been doing something wrong and not devoting as much time to studying as I should, because I somehow still have a pretty active life outside of school. I study as much as I feel I need to. There...
