nervous

Published

just started an lpn program here in florida. the teacher told us we will have a test every single day except clinical days for a entire year. she said expect 6 hours of studying a night. last year only 14 out of 33 finished the program. however of the ones that passed there is like a 97% nclex-pn pass rate. she was telling us about all the mistakes we could make to that would get us kicked out. has everyone been nervous? i am already thinking of quitting!

Now you know about what to expect, plan for worse, hope it will be better. lol

Be determined you will not be one of the 20-33, but one of the 1-19 that make it through.

Good luck! :)

Don't let what the instructor said intimidate you. Like the other posters said you can make it. Part of the success is determination as well. That goes a long way. It will push you to succeed. :)

As posted previously, nervous is VERY normal. You've gotten this far; you'll be able to finish and reach your goals. Believe in yourself and you'll be a nurse before you know it! :nurse:

Best of luck,

Donna

These instructors are just trying to get you to get your priorities in order. They are right, THIS IS AN INTENSE COURSE. I don't think it was 6 hrs. a night on homework, more like 3 or 4 hrs. nightly. Yes we did test everyday. Sometimes 2 or 3 tests a day. Just prepare to work like a dog. You can do it, but your classmates will weed out quickly. You'll do great. I have some really wonderful memories of LPN school, and at the same time it is one of the hardest things I've ever done. Best of luck to ya...

I agree! Your first challenge is to not let the instructor intimidate you. That is the first part of the elimination process for lots of people. :)
