Overwhelmed already.

I am in my second week of my second semester of core courses for the LPN program. I am taking three classes. A&P, Computers, and Nutrition and Diet Therapy. OMG..the last class is going to KILL me! It's an 8 week class, ALL ONLINE and we do 3 chapters at a time. Not to mention A&P(which isn't that bad), and computers. I am SO OVERWHELMED! I am trying my hardest to study whenever I can. I have a husband, a 7 year old and a 2.5 yo. I did GREAT last semester! I was taking 3 classes also, and finished with a 4.0! :) I won't even start on how nervous I am for the entrance exam I have to take at some point during this semester! Breathe, Donna!!!

Thanks,

Donna

[color=#2f4f4f]hey donna! aren't you going to mgtc as well? i thought i remembered conversing with you in the ga forum, if not please disregard this, but i believe you do, so i can be of some help!

who do you have for a&p? if you have dr. clarington, you will be just fine! i was in his class and though i felt like my head was under water by a couple of weeks into the semester it was not as bad as i made it out to be! there were a couple of times i did not study like i should have...that aside, i still made it out of the class with a 86.

diet and nutrition is killing me! you guys are at an advantage though, being able to take the course before getting into the program now. i got accepted into the program and d&n is just in the way of my other classes and is a lot harder than i expected it to be! i am not looking forward to the rest of this course. i wish you the best of luck with it. our first test is coming up, and it's timed to 60 minutes...not quite sure how horrible that is just yet.

basically, please do not psych yourself out! the psb is not that crucial of a process. it's so great that you have 3 attempts to make the score. i didn't get what i needed until my third attempt. i also had a gpa of 3.58 after they made the conversion to semester hours. that worried me because i did have a 3.68. i am not sure if you are thinking the same way i was last semester, but i was just so overwhelmed and wondering how on earth i was ever going to get into the program. it seemed as if so many people were going into selection, i almost let it get the best of me. rumor has it only 34 people were on that selection list. they were able to take 17 this semester.

best of luck donna, you can do this! if you have any questions, just ask! :)

You are right, I am attending MGTC. I do have Dr. C for A&P, and I really like him! He seems REALLY laid back. My friend took her DN test yesterday, and said there were 50 questions!!! HOLY COW! I am nervous about taking it, considering I didn't do that great on the homework. You have Bernhard, right? If so, we are probably in the same online class. I wish this wasn't an online class! So much to do!!! WOW! I am also taking Computers, and its just so much! I can't even imagine getting as far as you have, and all the work you are having to do! Thanks for replying. I hope to talk to you soon!
