Hello my fellow LPNs
I would like to know is there anyone in the LPN program at ecpi, and if you are what do you think so far of the program I just took the TEAS test today and I passed. So I will be starting the LPN program on 06/15/2015 I am so happy, but now that I am sitting here thinking about it I am nervous as hell, because I don't know what to expect. I am already a RMA and I just want to get started and get done, so that I can go on and get my RN license because that's what I really want to become....anyone please let me know something I have been hearing some really good things about this school.
I totally understand. You might have to take a mental break on the weekend if possible. No work no school work. Just hang out with friends and family or go out of town. I got burnt out plenty of times and needed mental breaks. For me my energy always picked back up at the beginning of a new term.
Definitely agree with Candy- you NEED a mental break. I make a point each term to take at least one weekend completely to myself. Even though I just stay home and read non nursing books, eat and watch Netflix- it's nice to unwind! I know it seems like forever. I'm in acute care 2 and have two terms left...these last 11 weeks are KILLING me. I can't wait to be where Candy is!!!
Candy- your last day is tomorrow!!!!
I've had the worst week. I was the only one in my class to pass the pharm 201 Kaplan. 4 of my classmates (1/2 of the class) have technically failed the entire class. Today during clinical, one of the girls who has failed didn't show up to clinical, but instead went to the school and complained and threatened to "call the va beach campus" blah blah blah. So now, the entire class has to take a cumulative final on everything we've done to this point, written by our DON tomorrow at 2.
I feel completely defeated. I busted my butt this term and earned my grade because of it- yet the four who failed just expect to be allowed to take another exam (which they will most likely fail again- not to be cruel, just being honest) and because of that those of us who have passed also must take this exam. If the four who are failing do not pass the exam with a 95-100%, they will still be failing. This could make two of the girls who are passing end up failing as well.
What is the purpose of all of this studying and working so hard if when I fail I can just go cry my way into another test so I have a 5th chance.
Sorry for the vent ladies. I hope everyone else's term has been good.
