Any PN students here?....

BROOK9960 · Jul 22, 2006

Getting ready to start LPN in August and will graduate from it in July of 07 and then on to RN the following August. I am soooooooooooooo excited and cannot wait to start.....bored stiff here at home waiting. I wish I could get my books now and start reading, but the school will only let you get your books two weeks before school starts with the financial aid.

Welcome...BROOK9960!!...

I had to laugh when I read about your wanting to "get your books and start reading", LOL Because I feel the same way....From what I hear tho, ya better enjoy all that "Boredom" while you can, cause once school starts..you will be Wayyyyyyy busy!!

Best wishes!! and do come back and post often!

I had my first full week of LPN school this week. At 40 yrs old and going back to school, I did better than I thought. I scored 94, 95 and 100 on 3 tests ( yes I had 3 tests the first week, lol) I really think I am going to enjoy school, and this is what I always wanted to do. My dear Husband has taken on extra shifts at work so I can finally fulfill my dream of nursing, and is a wonderful support to me. I want to go on after I graduate in June 2007 straight to taking Pre-req RN classes, and eventually I would like to obtain a BSN. I am the oldest student in my class, but it isnt seeming to matter, I was afraid I would feel uncomfortable, but I have a great class, seems we have mixed in well together, The facilitator said we are nice and quiet and calm compared to last years class...lol. I am glad I pursued my dream, Im happy :D

I hope you enjoy the LPN classes as much as I have and am. I am glad I waited in a way. All the years working 6-7 days a week owning a business, and always wanted to be a nurse, now that Im older, I am really working at it and I feel HONORED to be there. I wish you the best of luck!

Hello all,

Thank goodness for summer classes! Good luck to all of the current students, to all the wannabes, I say be patient it will pay off in the end, and congrats to all the new grads.

Oh I understand completely that I wont be ready for the real world. Luckily, I have several RN close friends, and another that is an ultrasound tech. The RN's are arranging for me to do shadow rotations so I can do pt assesment, etc., with them which Im sure will teach me alot. I will be done in June 2007. I already had my pre-req out of the way when I started. Good Luck on your boards! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
