So far so good, I have straight As in the classroom. My instructors aren't the best but I'm learning their style. I will have them through the summer semester and get new ones in the fall. We start clinicals at the end of the term, for 5 days.
The problem that I have is the lack of lab time. They show us a video to demonstrate how we are to perform certain tasks but then we never get lab time during the day. We are expected to stay after to practice with an instructor or do it on our own. We have checks offs pretty soon and have had very little direction.
When I did my CNA, we had classwork the first few weeks and then we went to the lab for several weeks to practice with our instructor there. The instructor did the procedure while we watched then we were given several hours to practice with him there to ask questions. If we felt like we needed extra time, then we could practice in the labs on our own time. My CNA was at a different campus but same school.
Are most LPN programs like this? Or do you get more hands-on experience with an instructor?
