   I will complete my last clinical rotation on Feb 10th. I then have 5 weeks of NCLEX Review and Nursing Jurisprudence starting Feb 18th and will finish the program March 24th. I will be honest and tell you that the program is tuff and very time consuming. If you work full time be prepared to give up sleep as you will need to spend a lot of time studying and completing a plethora of assignments. The program is intense and there is not a lot of academic "support" provided. You are pretty much on your own when it comes to learning the material. The one instructor I found to be very helpful and a great person who really goes above and beyond for the students is ***********. If at any point you begin to struggle I strongly suggest you reach out to him. He was my life saver.
   
   I am not being negative just being straight-up and honest. If you like "easy" and hope to slide by on a wing and a prayer walk away now and save your money. There is nothing easy about the program. My advice is that you stay on top of your game, do not fall behind, and study, study, study, study, and then study some more. The good thing is that you will be amazed at how much you are going to learn is a short period of time. If you are determined you can/will do it. Best of luck all!
   
   One last thing: Yes you will need to obtain ALL of the books they ask you to.

   Good evening dbeagan,
   I too am in the LSPA program, just completed the RNSG 2535. I'm to start the 1st clinical rotation next week. Any pointers as to how to approach the assignments ? I've struggle though the last two classes with adding extra study time. (even less sleep). I would appreciate any suggestions or comments you could give.

   I hope that all of you all do well and pass the NCLEX the BON just changed the status from Full with warning to Conditional and therefore they cannot enroll anymore students until NCLEX pass rates improve.

   I have been a nursing instructor for 8 years and a nurse for over 30. EVERY nursing program, whether in the seat or online is very very difficult. If you are looking for easy and to skate by, then you need to pick another profession.
   
   Online classes pose an additional challenge in that you do not have an instructor readily available to immediately answer your questions. If you are not a self-starter, have difficuly managing your own time, and require someone to direct your study, then perhaps the "online" programs are not for you.
   
   I agree with this poster. If you find yourself falling behind, I encourage you to find a faculty that you feel comfortable with, and use him/her as your mentor. There are "good" and "bad" instructors in all types of programs.
