My LPN orientation is on aug 20, it's from 9 am to 5pm I just wonder what's going to happen any else had their orientation...if so what happen...what was discussed....?????

It really depends on what school you're attending. My orientation lasted for about 2.5 hrs. Basically an intro to the school, what they expect, rules and regulations, school ID pictures, lists of books to buy along with uniforms. Oh yea they also gave us a summer reading assignment( a few chapters and quiz) that will count towards our grade. Just ask as many questions as u can especially if u don't understand something. Good luck to you:)!

Dang, 9 to 5!? That's long. Mine is from 5 pm to 7 pm in early August. I can let you know what we discussed during our orientation, but like someone else said, it'll probably vary depending on which school you're in. Also, I hope hope I don't get a summer assignment like you did, medieval!

Our orientation was Friday and it was from 8:30-1:30ish. We went over the usual stuff (handbook, schedules, labs, uniforms for lab/clinicals, etc...). There were some LPN grad students there that are now BSN students. So they talked to us and answered questions so that was cool. We complete our drug screen and background checks in our third week of class. Some of us signed up for the SNA at our campus and bought lab coats, patches, etc... from the pop up bookstore.

Yes, I had two scholarships (thank the Lord!) and did take out one loan so I have some $ left over. The book voucher is not up online until the 6th. This is my first semester at DU, but I did transfer most of the pre-reqs in, so I have to take the HLTH 101S class this term.
