Thank you guys! I'm so excited to start school!

I start school at Boces for LPN on Monday. At registration I received a homework packet which is to be handed in on the first day of class (3/21). It says to define the following medical abbreviations. I have tried looking them up online and have no luck. I havent received the required Medical Terminology textbook in the mail yet, so I cannot use that for help. Here are a few examples of medical abbrev. Arteri, Brady, Cyano, Derma, Erythro...etc. any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)

i just got so upset bc im so excited to start school march 21st and i dont know if ill be comfortable doing that type of care. How do you get used to it?

I was reading a post on here about clinical rotations and someone mentioned that you have to bath patients, clean them after they use the bathroom, etc. I am confused because I thought LPNs did not do any of that, only CNAs. Can someone clarify this for me, because this may change my mind about going to school for nursing if I have to deal with cleaning feces and things like that. Thanks!

March 4th
