   Kate28 replied to jlhalloween's topic in Texas

   I just graduated from the LVN program at WCJC at the Richmond location. WCJC has a great LVN program and they teach you everything you need to know about LVN nursing. Many people think that just because it's a LVN program it's gotta be easy. It's ...

    hang in there tasha! I'm in my 6th month of LVN school and the first couple of months were pretty tough. We lost a lot of students and had killer Med/Surg tests that we thought we wouldn't make it through. Once you get on the floor, everything will...

    Kate28 replied to piercednurse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    :) It's nice to know there are other schools out there like mine. My school, right outside of Houston, is pretty strict. For us to pass each semester we have to take a math test and make a 100 on it. We can have all A's in everything from Foundat...
