A Final Already!!

[acorvette]

We have been in class not even a month and already had our first final test... it was over the concepts part and i did pass with a 91 (go me) , it was nice to get that out of the way but it also brought about our current studies, now we are doing 2 chapters a day. We have 2 teachers and one teaches one subject then the next day the other is teaching their subject, so as of last week we have started with 2 chapters a day.

We have already done our uniform fittings and we will be getting our hand held computers in a couple of weeks. We are the first class to get to have them and i can't wait! A couple of heads up..

1. get a backpack with rollers, all the books will kill your back, so the rollers are so easy and works wonderfully!

2. be ready for random drug testing!! i don't do that anyways, but in our class they also do breathalizer tests along with the urine sample. we had our first testing last week and a few of the kids in the class were scared of the breathalizer, one even started to cry, they had stayed up drinking till almost 1am, and apparently, alchohol will show on the test up to 8 hours after your last drink. so be smart and avoid the drinking all through school. by the way, the kid who was crying did pass the tests, (that we know of) in our school, even a slight reading would've been grounds for automatic dismissal.

school is hard enough anyways, don't add drinking and hangovers to the mix.

our instructors put it in a nutshell for us....WE ARE DOING A LIFETIME OF LEARNING IN 11 MONTHS....BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!!

That's all for now, be back later with more fun tales of LPN student life!!
