Can you give me an idea of what it's like? I started in on the RN program and decided it wasn't for me. It was WAY too much pressure and stress and frankly I couldn't handle it. With the LVN program are there skills check-offs every week or so and do you get kicked out if you don't pass second time? Can you give me an idea of what the average week is like, for example? I just couldn't handle the whole "do or die" scenario and stress of the ADN program and really I want to do home hospice care, so I'm thinking the LVN route might be more "me" anyway.

How demanding and stressful WAS the LVN program at ACC, texaslvn12? I'm asking because although I've finished all my pre-reqs for an RN and have my Hesi test tomorrow I'm thinking of just going the LVN route, because my 13 yr old's grades REALLY suffered when I was taking my RN pre-reqs, because I was simply too busy to light a fire under her butt 24/7. I need to be realistic about the kind of kid I've got and recognise that a super demanding program will just take too much time away from her. :-(. Please advise what your experience taking the LVN program was.
