Job Corps for LPN

Published

So in 2 & a half weeks, I would be head out to Keystone Job Corps for 2 yrs to become an LPN. & l am excited but also pretty nervous because I don't know what to expect. With every big decision I make, I first research what I'm getting myself in to... & all I heard from people to google to YouTube it was almostly all bad things. So what I'm trying to ask is... If anyone went to/through Job Corps for LPN or any type of nursing, please help my nerves? Tell me how your experience was.. The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly?

Congrats on your acceptance. Always remember that no matter which field you go into, it will require hard work, dedication, and it will also be hard and can be stressful

One thing I can tell you now is to take the word "LIFE" and "FUN" out of your vocabulary because you will not have any of them. It is intense, so far my classes (Fundamentals I, Anatomy & Physiology, Nutrition, and Professional Awareness) were easy but I can not tell you how the rest of the classes are. You will need to have very good time management, a set schedule for study time, working, if you have a family (husband kid(s), bedtime, etc. Always prepare for everything the night before. If I think of anything else I will come back and let you know.
