I start pretty soon at loewenberg and I was just wasted sure what to expect from this school. I know they send you to clinicals day one. Do they through you to the wolves or do they take it easy on you? How touch is the school by the way? I have completed all my pre-reqs with a 4.0 but I hear that even the smarted students struggle here. One last thing, what about health assement lab. I heard that you have to remove clothes and let your partner examine you head to toe. With me being older and out of shape(Male) I was worried about that part. I doubt there will be many males in the class and I know it wouldn't be to much of a joy for the younger women to get stuck with me.

If anyone can give me some info and removes these concerns that would be great. I guess am just second guessing myself before I take out a big loan.

I graduated from LSON and enjoyed it. I think everybody's experience may differ slightly based on clinical instructors, past healthcare experience, etc. I had previous experience so I never felt "thrown to the wolves"! Clinicals start right away but those first few weeks you hardly do anything! They ease you in to patient care. One thing I would recommend is when they give out all those syllabi and it totally freaks you out (it will) try not to let it, and take it one day at a time. Do all your reading before class and you will be prepared.

I never thought that the tests were all that hard but a lot of students did. I guess my brain just understands the questions appropriately. It's a lot of studying, but if you just keep up with reading, learning drugs, etc you will be fine.

Oh, and you do not get naked in health assessment! You get to pick a partner and you practice each system by itself, you are able to be plenty modest. For example,My partner and I skipped the breast exam, no big deal at all.

Feel free to PM me any time. I graduated 2 1/2 years ago, so most everything is still fresh. Oh, and if you think you can handle fast-tracking, I would consider it. It's totally worth it.

Thank you for the response. You helped me a lot.

I am currently a freshman at the u of m and I was wondering if you ad any advice for me. I am pursuing a nursing degree at the university. I am kind of nervous though especially about admission into the school. And also do you know of any nursing scholarships or grants that I can apply for????
