How is Nursing school going for you??

Well, I started nursing school for the LPN program Last year in August. I passed the first semester with flying colors !

Feb. 2, 09 I start the final and last semester. I'm kind of nervous, but I'm also going to be optimistic about it.

So far I would say I love nursing and nursing school. Its working fulltime while in nursing school thats killing me. However, Gods will I'll graduate in July as a LPN, and I also plan on becoming a RN shortly after.

Good luck with school, its really not that bad: okay, sometimes, but you will do fine.

This topic has been discussed a trillion times in this forum. I just got too much time on my hands so I tend to respond to the same topic over and over and over again.

Anyway, you're welcome ! Let me know if you need to know anything else.

Well today was my first day back (second semester LPN prgrm). This semester is going to be tough we have so much more clinical paperwork and med profiles to do versus last semester! I'm stressing out. Last semester went well, all As and Bs, and this semester seems it's going to be more exhausting so I better get started early...especially doing the single mother thing as a full time student can make it all the more difficult..sorry for rambling...I'm just overstimulated for all the work ahead...hope everyone does well. Study hard!!!:)

It's going good so far, had my first exam in med-surg and did well, although it seriously requires a lot of studying. I recommend studying EVERY single night if you can. that way the night before the test, you will be relaxed and feel confident rather than craming all the info into one night. DON'T DO THAT!!!! ...if you just study your stuff, you'll do fine. I love nursing!

I am currently in the core part of the program, my instructor is a very nice sweet lady she has 30 years experience as a nurse. My problem is, or shall I say the whole classes problem is, that she tells us to read a chapter and go over key material that we need to focus on and then we get a test it is nothing that we went over. It is sabotage I tell you, pure sabotage. I really think she is trying to discourage us. We are seriously considering, the whole class that is , starting a petition. I would hate to think that this is a known practice of the school, cause I know we are not the only class complaining about this instructor.

as far as the instructor not giving you the right study material, you can either self study your way thru or you can complain to the director, your paying alot of money for this program.

also, and this is my own personal advice, theres something about when adults enter a classroom enviorment they regress back to teenagers. it will blow your mind, and the best way to deal with all the gossip and backstabbing, is stay out of it and stay to yourself. always be pleasant and polite, but your there to get your education and go on with your life. not make friends. trust me. stay out of the drama. keep your head down, get thru it and go on with life.

I LOVE nursing school! I am in my second semester now, and will be done June 25th. I have a lot on my plate now, three kids, a husband, I'm pregnant with #4, I work part-time and go to school full-time, but I am doing well. I made A's last semester, and am makeing a B+ so far this semester, so I am excited about that. I just know that this is what I was meant to do! We are working on disorders of the different body systems now, so it's harder than Fundamentals, but with some dedication, it's doable!!!
