I graduate on July 30th. I am so excited. I am not going to work immediately as I am 5 months pregnant, and my baby is due first of Sept. I am going to take my boards, and hopefully start work in Jan of 2010.

i use the nursing diagnosis handbook by mosby. it's the eigth edition. i have used it for all my careplans so far and i really like it. for the stethoscope i purchased a littman, and have also been pleased with it. hope this helps.

yes, i feel the same way. i have 2 children, ages 6 and 8 and i feel like i am constantly putting them on the backburner. school has really taken over my life. i just recently found out that i am expecting my third child, and i have been so exhaus...

had my first skills check-off this week. we were checked off on vitals signs, pre and postoperative care, hemovac drains and jackson-pratt drains, sterile dressing change... it was nerve racking for me too, i passed everything!!! the next skills ...

I wish I could do IV's. My school dosent allow us to do that. Congratulations!!!!

on class and lab days we wear regular clothes. when we start our clinicals we wear uniforms. our tops are white with college logo on them, and our pants are royal blue.

i also started on aug 25th, and my first couple of weeks have definately been hectic. we have 2 quiz's a week. i scored 100 on first quiz, and on my med term quiz i scored 96. this week, i have 3 tests. i have a test in a&p, nursing, med term. al...

we are also required to do ati testing. if we dont pass, we get another chance, if we dont pass that time, we do remediation, and if we dont pass a third time, we're out!!! havnet gotten my books yet, so i cant tell you what i think of them!

my program is from aug 25th-july 30th. we have pre-req's to take.

i feel your pain!! i have been studying for a quiz all weekend that i have tommorrow. i am so nervous. also have a med term vocab quiz. pn school is much harder than i thought!

lpn school for me has been crazy. i'm at the end of my first week, and it's 11:00 p.m. and i'm still up doing homework. i feel completely overwhelmed. i'm taking 18 credits which equals to 3 classes. i have between 5-10 chapters to read just for nurs...

i know how you feel...i also start lpn school on monday, and so do my kids. my daughter will be starting 1st grade, and my son will be in 2nd. i am so nervous that i have been breaking out into hives for the last 2 weeks. not to mention i have a h...

i start on the 25th as well, although i have already been given homework. my professor sent a letter stating what we should expect on the first day and assigned 5 chapters to read in one book, with corresponding workbook pages to complete and 2 cha...

19 days for me!!! i cant wait!

i start on august 25th. i'm so excited but also sad because my kids start back to school on the same day. i know that all of the fun we had over the summer will be over, and all the work begins.

try being 33, and starting lpn school in august, having 2 kids under the age of 8, and feeling totally nervous!!!! you will be fine!:wink2:

just wondering if anyone has any suggestions about which clogs are good and which ones arent. i'm looking for one for clinicals and i need one that dosent have holes and that has a strap in the back. any suggestions???:)

i spoke with the program head today, and she stated that clogs were ok as long as they had no holes and a strap in the back. how do they rate compared to regular nursing shoes or athletic shoes.

wow, sounds like so much work! i start lpn school on august 25th, and i am really excited and nervous. my program is full-time. i will go everyday this semester, and next semester i'm not sure. we will start clinicals in november. my first clini...

mine will be around $4,500. i couldnt imagine $31,000. my husband would tell me to find another profession!!

i guess it depends on who you talk to. i was born in asheville, and lived there for many years, and some parts are still bible believing communities. i havent lived there in many years, but my parents are moving back in august and they say that it ...

i start lpn school on august 25th. i am really excited but also very nervous. i've been looking over my books, and some of the things that we will be doing scares me. also worrying about taking care of my kids and husband and things around the house....

at my school, the lpn students wear white tops with royal blue pants, and the rn students wear white tops with khaki pants. i wasnt too thrilled with it either!

i have met alot of girls with the same frustration. it has been my dream since working as a cna to be a nurse, and when i finally got accepted on the first try it was a dream come true. i'm confused as to the criteria that they are looking for. i'...

Hi, I live in Warrenton, and applied to the LPN and RN programs at Lord Fairfax. Found out on May 1st that I am accepted into the LPN program. I'm really excited but also very nervous. Good luck!
