1. Graduation Anxiety!

   Dnap22 replied to YesImVictorious's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I totally understand. I graduated this past Thursday and I've been in a robe ever since. It went from 60 to zero overnight and I'm still adjusting to this. Lol I guess it's a good problem to have though!

   I've heard that the better you are doing, the more SATA questions you get. I have no idea if it's true, but, maybe you just kicked its butt so hard it didn't know what to do! I'm sure you did great! Please let us know.

10. Bombed first exam

    Dnap22 replied to MidwestBetty's topic in LPN/LVN Students
