Club LPN / Fall '05

Princess74 · Jun 3, 2005

Can we PLEASE get a sticky for this thread since there are so many of us going into the LPN program. It really will make it much eaiser for us when school starts and we have a billion questions. That way we wont have to look for the thread every single time we need it. Thank you in advance.:) :) :)

Do you think they will make us a sticky. I am so excited! I wish they would send our orientaion letter so I would know when that was. Do you think we will all be this excited come Fall? :chuckle

I am so excited right now I could just jump. I think the only other thing I have ever been this excited about in my life was the birth of my three babies. My orientation is the 21st and as far as I am concerned, that is not soon enough. I work in the ER as an admitting clerk and I just watch those nurses in envy, right now. Can't wait!!!!!! The fear that I had at one point is starting to go away. I think that the closer I get, the more I want it. Is anyone else like that? My three kids are all going to be in school fulltime this fall, so that is a big help. I only work every other weekend at work, so that helps too. My dh is a great support and so is the rest of my family.

Making this a sticky would be great!!!

...................well, okay, maybe not 9-1-1, but I did send an e-mail to Cashew (LPN moderator) and asked her to plead our case for a stickey. Hopefully, the powers-that-be will see it our way. Keep your fingers crossed!

This just in -----------------Got an reply from Brian Short re: stickey request for Club LPN/Fall '05. He said: no problem, it's a done deal. So we should be an official stickey shortly.

Oh, I hope it's okay, but I sort of promised him he could be our mascot. Hope nobody has a problem with that! :chuckle

I'm just waiting to take the CPR class, get my physical and waiting for my student loans to be approved to sign up for classes. Already have all my uniforms, equipment, books, PDA.

Glad to join you guys/gals.

So now that the thread is easier to find, I hope some of you will read this and reply. My orientation is next week, and wondered what yours was like. .... Do they scare you within an inch of your life? Did you run from the room screaming in fear? Or was it routine stuff and no big deal? Any tips or tricks you could pass on? -- Would love some feedback as I am clueless on what to expect. :uhoh3:

Hi-

I had my orientation about a month ago. It was very welcoming. They provided a continental breakfast while the instructors introduced themselves. We then had to introduce ourselves. We were given the handbook for the program...had a couple of presentations...bought books and uniforms...had a tour. We were then treated to lunch!

They did say that the program is intense but they will try very hard so that no one fails. In general, my instructors seem very caring!

I can't wait for September!

Good Luck and don't be scared!
