Hello, congratulations on your recent admission to the Lpn program. I graduated from the Lpn program 4 years ago and from the Rn program 4 months ago. I worked a full time job for an ambulance company 40 hours a week and went to school mon thru Thursday from 7:15 am to 330pm, I worked every weekend for an entire year and several days a week after school, yes it was difficult but I graduated school w an Lpn job for a hospice company which I still have now as a Rn, yes your social life is lost and if your relationship is not strong enough it probably won't survive it either ,but the sacrifice is worth it, I had two failed relationships during school but found my soulmate after school. :-) what I am saying is , yes it is hard, requires a lot of sacrifice but the outcome def is worth the sacrifices. Nursing is a wonderful career full of opportunities, but nothing will come to you if you don't fight for it. I am now enrolled in the BSN program and I am not planning in slowing down anytime soon, go out there and finish school and be the best nurse you can be :-) and you have any questions during the program don't hesitate to come back here and wave your hand .
