]Could anyone tell me if the 1st semester is harder than the 2nd semester of Practical Nursing School? :confused:

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

My LVN school was a 1 year program divided into 5 levels. Levels 1 and 2 were medium-difficulty, level 3 was intense, levels 4 and 5 were medium-difficulty.

Usually it does not become easier as time passes.

I think the second is harder. The first was tough because it was all our basics-so a lot of memorization. But the second half is our "meat and potatoes"

Yup, my vote is the second half is harder but it is so much more exciting and interesting!

At least you can start counting down to the end...:balloons: !!!

Specializes in Occ health, Med/surg, ER.

Second semester is sooo much harder. We had like four exams every week. Second semester is much more fast paced, trying to squeeze everything left over into one semester. Good luck.

Not for sure on the level of difficulty but I am interested in knowing where you went to school? I live in the Dallas area.

Even though I've been living in the DFW Metroplex for the past 2+ years, I attended school in the greater Los Angeles area, since I am originally from Southern California.

Gosh, I forgot this thread existed. ;)
