I loved reading last years group, thought I would start one for this year.
I guess I will get us started...
1: what date you start/ school name
2: how long is your program
3: why are you becoming an lpn..
4: how much is your program
5: how many lecture hrs, and clinical hrs

1. My class starts after Labor day the school is Central School of Practical Nursing in VA
2. 18 months
3. I decided on LPN because the program hours works best with my family life, I can finish in 18 months and I would like to work in hospice, doctors office or outpatient surgery center. Plus, I have a 2.42 GPA from the first time I went to college that prevents me from being competitive to get into a RN/ASN/BSN school. I am still working on my science pre-requisites in preparation of a bridge program if I want to continue in the future.
4. My program is about $10,000 total start to finish
We are finished with our finals!!! Next week is our last week of class, then a short summer break. Our program started with 40 people, and as of Thursday, only 16 were moving on to level two. We have finished nursing fundamentals, A&P, pharmacology, med math and 50 hours of clinical (ADL's, care plans, head to toe assessments, med pass). I am looking forward to moving on and kicking butt again next year.
Hi lady!
I'm here! Congrats to you and very nice to hear!
My program started 8/5/13 and has been pushed out to December 14 now. We just recently start nursing math and finished med/surg. We started with like 16 and are now down to 9.
I'm not really enjoying the journey because I'm juggling so much and will just be glad when it's over. I've done well thus for, have learned a lot, and have no intensions of quitting, but so look forward to the end. We we're originally suppose to finish in September(which looks much better), but they've pushed it out to December.
Best of luck to you and again congrats on the job well done!
