PAslpn

I don't know if I'm the only one here to feel this way, but I feel like I need to rant and this seems to be the place where i'll be understood. but I feel like it's so much more stressful getting everything in for school to start than the actual aspects of nursing school. my financial aid is starting to cause me major problems and i got denied my grants because for some reason my school isn't approved to get state grants. and now i keep getting notices about everything that needs paid (enrollment fee, workbooks, textbooks, clearances). i still have to get all my shots done, and that's without insurance. i wish i could waiver all of them, even just temporarily. I'm in my early twenties, but haven't been able to find A JOB other than a short summer job at an animal park that didn't even cover the gas it took to drive there. So, I've had to depend on my parents to help me out, and i'm running out of ideas! All I want is to be in school, and only have to worry about my actual school work and succeeding. I've wanted this for so long and it just keeps getting harder and harder to even get started. /rant edit: i forgot to mention i'm due to start my lpn program on february 14th. if it wasn't for all of the forementioned road blocks i would be going out of my mind with excitement. :redbeathe

This is where I'm going, I start in three months and attended orientation yesterday. They have a 98 percent pass rate and a 98 percent placement rate. They seem like a really great school and they're very high-tech! We get a laptop too.

I don't start until february, but i was wondering what all you new lpns were taking during your first semester? i'm pretty sure (not positive) that we'll be taking nursing skills (132 hours), nursing concepts 1 (110 hours), and nursing focus 1 (72 hours) during the first section. nursing concepts is split into 10 modules. as well as nursing concepts has 3 modules. excited but super nervous! a friend gave me a copy of her a&p and medical terminology books to prepare since my school is a tech school and didn't require any pre-reqs.

I'll be starting my program in February 2011!
