Hi All, I haven't posted before but have been following for awhile and gaining so much from this site. At 45 years old I am just entering the world of healthcare. I'm in month 3 of LPN school and we will begin clinicals in January. I feel really unprepared and could use some advice. In school our teachers show us a skill, send us to lab to practice-practice and then check us off on it. I am not the kind of learner that can do that so I limp through it with minimal retention. If I could find a "bulleted step list" I would be prepared before class and could practice afterwards, our books go into the skills but then out instructors tells us the book isn't quite right and to do it another way, I cant retain that amount of info without mulling it over myself. My grades are excellent and I'm a hardworker but I cant seem to find a source of clear information to learn these skills. The other students just seem to roll with it. Our instructors keep telling us we need to perfect these skills but I cant get the direction I need from them so I'm hoping you all might give me some tips or point me to a resource. Thanks so much for your time! Katvee
