Tomorrow is my first day, too! I can so relate what you're going through. I still have to get my supplies and book bag ready. I know the first 20 days will be challenging considering you have to adjust school with well... life! Just remember to show up everyday religiously (remember you're paying for your education so they're working for you). You don't want to fall behind esp. since the classes are usually fast-pace. For transportation, childcare, and unexpected tragedies occur have a back up plan! Very important! Like today my car's breaks and master cylinder were an issue, fortunately, it was before school started. My car spent 2 1/2 days at the shop and I spent $600+. Just be prepared for the worse! I can't stress this enough, but don't miss a day of school. Good luck to you and your future endeavors. Take care.

Hi dreamingtobeaRN! I'm going to start my VN classes on Monday. Just like you my ultimate goal is to be a RN. The reason why I chose to become a LVN first is because I'm just so eager to get into the medical field. lol. I can't wait! I think it will be easier to be a LVN first and then bridge to the RN program since the wait-list is a lot shorter. I have friends who are taking the more traditional route and it's been three years, and their still waiting to get into the program. Not to mention, you can enter a facility as a LVN, and if they offer tuition reimbursement they can help you be a RN, too. Hope this helps. :-)

Congrats on getting accepted! I know it wasn't easy. I had to take the TEAS V exam and I was soo scared, but got in with a passing score then I had to get interviewed 3 times by the school's VN instructor and the DON twice. Let me know how your first day goes. Take care.

I'll be starting school on Monday, too. I'm so excited and can't wait to graduate. Good luck to you and your studies. Hope all goes well. Take care.

Concorde Career College in North Hollywood, CA. I'm so eager to start and anxious! I know I'm making the right choice. Are you looking into the LVN to RN bridge program, too? My ultimate goal is to be an RN. I've signed up for LVN as a stepping stone. I want to work in the medical field already. lol

I'm starting class Monday, too. What school do you go to?
