LPN Nursing School Anxiety

[hfullerCNA]

Hello,

I will be attending school for my LPN for the second time around in Northern Kentucky at Brown Mackie College. I was in Nursing school before for my LPN at Beckfield and I failed out due to various circumstances (one being that the demand was too difficult. Anatomy was entirely too hard, and I lived quite a distance from the school in Indiana).

I'm extremely nervous about starting school again this coming Wednesday...my first course will be Introduction to Nursing. I understand nursing school isn't by any means "easy", but I was just wondering if their was any advice you all might be able to give me to help me thru this journey that I'm about to pursue for a wonderful new career.

I've been a CNA since 2012, so I already have experience in healthcare. However, I'm told that I need to basically "forget" (for lack of a better word) everything that I learned in aide class because nursing (LPN, and RN wise) is completely different than being an aide...and I understand some logic behind that. Advice?

Also...has anyone attended Brown Mackie College for Nursing (LPN), and if so would you mind commenting on what the difficulty level was for A&P I and II, as well as Intro to Nursing, and any other courses worth mentioning? Please do not comment on the financial aspects of BMC, as I already know that they are a very expensive school to attend for nursing. I'm already registered and signed up and start 9/3/2014 so there is no turning back or deciding on a different school.

Thanks!
