You are right I am a new nursing student, and don't know much about the flu shots we haven't reached that area as of yet. But a little word of advice post your facts and not your negative opinions its unprofessional. Thanks.

The hospitals that my school assign us to for do clinicals at are making it an requirement that we receive the H1N1 and seasonal flu shots. I never had either and I never had the flu. I am really against getting the vaccines esp. the H1N1 because it is so new. This new flu emerged in April 2009, therefor I feel the vaccine have not been out long enough. This is just me and how I feel. Is this at every school?

They run this class for the students who have an low GPA or for those who want to sit for the LPN boards. So it wont put me behind in the RN program

I'm sorry I didn't include there is a summer course that have to be taken its a pre OB/PEDS class that would also help me when I take that course. Thanks for all of the advice I think I'm going to go for it.

My school offer the option of sitting for the LPN boards after your first year of nursing school, and I am strongly considering the option but want to know some of the pros and cons that I might have.

I think that was the case with me too and I should have studied for the test more. Did you find Med/Surg to be difficult. I think I also have a problem with the critical thinking question too any suggestions? They are different than what I'm use to needless to say I use to have a 4.0 gpa not anymore.

I finished my first semester a few weeks ago and I did fairly well on the test throughout the semester but I didn't do that well on the final, I thought I knew the information so I'm not sure how I failed the test. Now I'm wondering if I'm ready for Med/Surg

I made it through my first semester too, it wasn't as hard as I thought it was until the final. I pass all the test but failed the final I thought I knew the info well so I failed to study, LESSON LEARN:bugeyes:
