Im not going to Chatt State's TTC program but I got into TTC Lewisburg's LPN and I am soooo excited!!! Have you finished up with all the shots background ck and Drug tests?

I am in the senior class.

Have you taken A&P or Nutrition? If you have then you will be under less stress. If you haven't, be prepared to study A LOT!! I made it out of 1st and 2nd semester with straight As so it can be done. You just have to know yourself and learning style and come up with a study program that works for you.

@dee78- I haven't taken anything : ( but I know I'm a visual learner and i have to memorize things! Thanks so much for the advice and congrats on being in the senior class! Are you working currently, if so how much? Do you have any lpn jobs lined up?

I took half of A&P and half way through this was last summer my son came 6 weeks early so I was able to withdraw hopefull I retained most of the info I learned but regardless I have been told that there is alot of studdying involved!

Defintately a lot of studying involved!! I do not work but a lot of my classmates do. They work as CNA, PCT, or non-medical related jobs. Most only work weekends but some work 2nd shift.

No jobs lined up but I go through the career center so they will help place me and I have a few contacts that I'm hoping will help when I graduate in December.

I work at a nursing home in Chattanooga and I know we are always hiring if you'd be interested. I am planning on working weekends as a CNA that's why I was wondering.

That stinks about class but i hope your little boy was okay! I'm doing my CPR and first aid today, then my physical tomorrow and I should be finished up! Have you got any school supplies? I have no idea so I'm starting with a ton of notebooks, highlighters, and pens! For all the notes! lol

dee78 · Aug 17, 2010

Oh okay, I'm still drawing unemployment and plan on saving as much as possible to get me through the end of the semester.

Notecards are also great. I buy the spiral books, they are more expensive but the cards stay together and it's easier to review, IMO. You will need lots of highlighters. I would go ahead and get your "oscar" (it's your syllabus) and read through it. Before class started, I made vocabulary flashcards from oscar.

Good luck guys!!
