I'm 4'11", 115. You can do it. :). I even worked as an aid for about 6 months. People are always willing to help if you need it.

Well, I have survived the first two days. Lol. A LOT of information, but I feel like I've got a handle on it all. I've gotten all of the syllabi, outlines, quiz schedules, etc organized and loaded into my calendar. I'm current or ahead on all the reading. (yes, I know that's not saying much as it is only the end of the second day). My biggest fear is forgetting something bc of the volume of information we've been given. Hoping my little color coordinated calendar will help with that. I'm pretty excited and ready to do this!! :)

I am in Texas. I will be going to Vernon College in Wichita Falls. How about you?

I'm so glad to find some fellow newbies. :). Hopefully we can support each other this year.

Hey pnkgrl25....I hear ya! I start Monday as well. I am a planner and I hate not knowing what to expect. Let me know how your day goes and good luck!

Hi NurseGuyBri! Thanks for the advice! :). I am so excited to finally start. Between having children and following my husband around every couple of years, this is the first chance I've had to do what want. I definitely plan to give it my all. :). I'll let you know how I'm feeling after the first day though. Lol

I did my CNA test about a year ago. The skills I had to test on were: range of motion, cleaning dentures, hand washing, communication skills, and BPR. It is the hands on stuff you learned during clinicals. Good luck!

I plan to continue on to RN as well. I'm doing the LVN program because we are military, and will only be here long enough for me to finish a one year program. I will have to start looking for bridge programs once I find out where we are going next. I'm with you, though. I'm ready to work!

Vernon College in Wichita Falls, TX. You?

Starting my LVN program on Monday! Nervous and excited. I worked as a CNA for a bit, so I'm hoping that will help out some. (At least as far as comfort level in dealing with patients.) Any advice for this newbie? :)
