Only 7 weeks left and kind of sad!

Published

Can't believe it but my 14 months in LPN school is finally up, the 14 months I thought would never end! And now with just 7 weeks to go I can't help but feel sad about the whole experience coming to an end! What am I going to do without these familiar students and teachers faces every day?

How did you feel toward the end of your program and how did you handle it? Did it take awhile to "get over" it?

I felt relieved when the end of my LVN program was within sight. I commuted 100 miles to school each way, 5 days per week for 12 months, so I was quite pleased when I completed the program.

To be perfectly honest, I also did not care whether I saw any of my classmates or instructors ever again. I do not become attached to other people easily, so 'letting go' comes easily to me. Nearly seven years has passed since I completed the LVN program, and I still do not miss anyone terribly.

I get attached easily so 5 yrs ago, when I graduated my LVN program, I was terribly sad! Thankfully Facebook has allowed me to keep up with many of my classmates. I've enjoyed seeing our progress over the years. I was just accepted into an LVN to RN program and of the ones I've kept up with through Facebook, I'm the first of us to transition over. I'm certain I will feel the same way at the end of my RN program. Heck, I even got a little bit sad at the end of every semester during my pre req classes. Lol! I just love everyone and always meet great people. Ends are tough for me too!

My LVN "student" status will end in August also. My class of 25 have all grown close over the past several months. It's comforting to have others around you who are in the same boat with you thru the newness of it all, and it's a little scary to know that afterwards you will be on your own.:eek: Thank goodness for Facebook and this site to let us stay in touch with others who can lend a shoulder when we need it:loveya:.

Thanks everyone for the awesome replies; I'm getting more comfortable with the transition now, especially realizing that many of us will be working at the same hospital.

Goodbyes are never easy but its been a fabulous journey and I have loved most of the minutes of it. Thanks for the kind words and sharing your own experiences. I'll keep you posted!!

I graduate July 26th from the LPN program. Though i can't say that i will be sad to see all the classmates that i disliked i will be sad to be in school. It's my saftey net and i'm a bit nervous..in 7 weeks i will graduate and schedule my nclex exam. The people that i care to see i will be able to keep in touch via text,facebook,or face to face.

I think you will do awesome adjusting to the new adventure ahead
