I'mstarting the LPN program on the 22nd of March and I have orientation on Monday. I'm super excited, but I want to know what other students think about it. I'm pregnant and due in June so I was wondering if the beginning is really stressful. I have great support at home I'm just wondering what it will be like. Also not looking forward to the white pants after the baby is born.

You hit the ground running and pretty much don't stop until the end. ( Like all Nursing Programs :)) Good luck with the baby as I know they decide to come whenever they want... did you make sure there was no penalty for time missed since SWSC is a clock based system? Even at Gateway where I went, they had very strict rules for time missed in the first semester, we could not miss more than 1 day or we'd have to start over the next semester.
