chattanooga state LPN program starting Fall 2009

AMEN! It would make things a lot easier. I've already had a nightmare about class, lol. A friend of mine that graduated from the program last year said on clinical days its 6am - 12pm. I'm really not looking forward to that.

Me too! :-)

Hey congratulations! I'm currently in the LPN program. Don't be nervous about clinicals. It's at NHC and it's really not bad at all. They assign you one patient that you have to do a care plan for and their daily care each day. We did G-Tubes, Peg-Tubes, vital signs, injections, meds, etc. Oh and you wear your scrubs everyday starting the first day. Good luck ladies!

Yes I started in Jan. I try to study as much as possible in the evenings but you have to give yourself a break from it sometimes. That's the main thing with this program. The tests are not that hard as long as you study for them and are prepared. If you are exempt from anatomy or nutrition you get time to study while those who aren't exempt are in class. That helps out a lot as well.

I bought most of them. The main ones you use are Rosdahl, the green handbook, and the nutrition and a&p book if you have to take it. You probably won't use Christensen or the drug book until later on in the semester.

Oh yea and I would definitely get a rolling backpack. They have lockers but I don't know how the knew building is going to be yet.
