New Here-just got accepted into LVN program!

Published

Hey everyone! My name is Katherine, and I just got accepted into the LVN program at Vernon College! I am really young to start out as a nurse..I start the program in January 2013 and will not even be 19 until March! Eeeek, I am nervous but so excited and proud of myself! I am new here and wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to what to expect from the program! An I too young? I don't think so, but I am afraid it might be an issue when I go looking for jobs next December. I am really smart and confident in my abilities, just hope others see me that way! Thanks for any advice!

Congrats and welcome! Nursing school is a big change! You will make a lot of self sacrifices but very worth it! At times you might ask yourself what did I get myself into lol. You will do fine!

Welcome.GIF to allnurses! Best wishes in nursing school. Your age shouldn't hold you back. I say that as one who graduated when I was 19. :)
