Can average student be LPN

[Butterflybee]

With the pitiful retention rates of the RN and the LPN having everything "crammed" together, Im really beginning to wonder if the average person can pass the LPN course. I dont mean a slacker, I mean someone that maybe gets Cs and some Bs. IS the math really all that horrible? I heard that is where they lose their people. I start next LPN course next week and never once did I hear about that. Anyway, Im just wondering does one need to be an A all the way student. :stone

Yes!

I was an average student and I passed my

boards with no problem. As others have posted

on this thread, the goal is to PASS and to try

and gather as much clinical experience/

exposure while you are still a student. Once

you have that license in your hand, you

have reached your goal! I organized study

groups in school and in spite of 3 children,

a husband and working part time, I did

pass and earned my license! Try not to

get discouraged! You can be an average

student and a GREAT nurse!
