12 days of freedom left

Published

Counting down the days until I start my pn program. Excited and nervous. I'm trying to get my house in order kids on a schedule n adjusting my work schedule. Basically organizing my life so school can go as smooth as possible if that is at all possible. I'm prepared for the roller coaster ride in about to embark on. All tips and suggestions welcome on how to juggle working and school and juggling kids. Let me put my cape on.

Same here. I am going to freeze a few meals to throw in the crockpot. I am making schedules for my daughter (day care/child care while her day and I are at school/work) and I (school/work/clinicals). Best wishes fellow future :nurse:! We can do this!

Exciting time! Some things I do for time management:

- Always plan your next day the night before

- Designate certain times for family, exercise, relaxation etc. that you must adhere to without fail

YES!! I start the 8th and am so flipping nervous! I just separated from the Air Force so I have had this month to actually spend time with my 2 year old and I'm going to miss it so much :( but I'm also super excited to start another chapter :). My main freak out is that I don't know anybody in the area so if he gets sent home sick from daycare I am screwed. My school is mon-fri 8-5 and if you miss more than 2 days every level (3 months) they will boot you from the program!

Hi!

Im just starting my last semester in my LPN in Calgary :). My advice is to plan ahead, get started on your papers right away and don't leave them to the last minute. Make excellent notes as you go and give them a quick 20 minute read on the weekend that way when it gets to the dreaded 'finals time' you wont be as stressed because you will know your stuff! Make a great group of friends too- I couldn't have done it without them!

Have fun, itll be over before you know it!
