first semester classes

I don't start until february, but i was wondering what all you new lpns were taking during your first semester?

i'm pretty sure (not positive) that we'll be taking nursing skills (132 hours), nursing concepts 1 (110 hours), and nursing focus 1 (72 hours) during the first section. nursing concepts is split into 10 modules. as well as nursing concepts has 3 modules. :lol2:

excited but super nervous! a friend gave me a copy of her a&p and medical terminology books to prepare since my school is a tech school and didn't require any pre-reqs. :idea:

    A&P, drug dose calculations, medical terminology, fundamentals and clinical lab to learn basic nursing skills. Those were the subjects we did our first semester and was slammed with a lot of homework in the begining. Studying before class starts will allow you not to feel so over whelmed.

    My advice to you is study up on Med Term, A&P and Basic Math Skills.

    Best of luck to you on your journey

    I'm in my first semester of an LPN program, and we are taking A&P and Nursing Fundamentals (this includes lecture, lab, clinical, med math, medical terminology, etc). I'm finding it not too challenging (yet!) Next semester I heard is rough, though.

    Good luck to you!

    Nursing fundamentals, A+P, Med Surg, Drug dosage, Clinicals, Skills lab. We also go through alot of medication classification and terminology. We have a few projects on all of the subject to pull it all together. We have tests back to back. It has been hard but not overwhelming. I have a schedule for how to get my work done and when to study and it helps. There is alot of study time needed, but it is all exciting.

    At dreamyeyes...No dont say its gonna get rougher. I am not totally looking forward to that...lol I heard we are going to start doing 10 hour clinical shifts . Im a bit tired already.

    Good luck
