So yesterday I received my acceptance letter for the LVN program I applied to at the CC :) I feel so nervous, I think I am more nervous than excited, because I really want to succeed in this program and do well.
I guess I want to ask those who have been in the LVN program for advice on how to prepare before I start school and what should I expect from the program.
-What are some necessary supplies I need for the program? I know I need a planner, flashcards, highlighters....anything else?
-Are there any books I should buy to start preparing for school, like to review material or to get a head start?
-Studying tips?
-Time management tips?
-How do I keep organized?
-How does the one year LVN program differ from that of a 2 year ADN program? Like do we learn the same material just condensed into one year?
-How is your school schedule? How many times a week do you have lecture/clinicals?
-Are you/did you enjoy your program?
I just want to be prepared before school starts and want to know what I will be expecting. Anyone care to share their experiences? I am nervous like I said, but I want to feel more excited about it too lol Last time I took A&P was 3 years ago and I fear I might have forgotten everything and feel incompetent when I'm sitting in class and see everyone else understand the material
Also, anyone else getting accepted? Share your thoughts/feelings here.
