I have to get my second Hep A shot, my insurance will cover it thankfully. I also need to get a second TB shot, which my employment will do. I'm cutting corners in all the places I can. A former student said she will sell me all the books for 430. They replaced 5 of them this year so that's 5 books that I can't buy from someone. But my physical exam and my shots will be taken care of without having to spend money or of pocket. Our uniforms though, are super expensive!

All those shots, special scrubs, books (yikes), traveling, equipment, and hours will be worth it!! I get financial aid so thank goodness my tuition is paid for, and I also had to pull out a small student loan to cover expenses while in school ( car payment, Christmas for the kids, bills, etc.) I will be working 6-18 a week, just to keep my foot in the door at a rehabilitation center I've been at for over 2 years, my boss has already promised me a job as an LPN so that's exciting! Just have to get through this year guys!!!! We can do it!!

I know! And those suckers aren't cheap! Lol I'm very honored to even be in this program, I guess they are just telling us ahead of time what they expect from us!

I got accepted into a program that I know is going to be strenuous and time consuming, today we got the packet for our program. So much to look over. Fingerprinting, scrubs, vaccines, book list, it's so much! I'm not worried about the time it might consume, I'm worried about the money it's going to cost me! ( I knew what I was getting myself into, it the application it stated that you must be ready to meet the financial demand of the program). I will do it, and I will be broke, but it will be worth it! Just a little rant/vent. Anyone else in this situation? I am excited, it's more real now! Who's with me?

Thank you everyone! I am bad at time management so I have been working on that! I think that the thing that scares me the most is suddenly being non-existent for my children. I'll go from being there to not being there very much. I know it will only last a year, that's what I keep telling myself.

Thank you for posting this!!

Thank you, I really like your suggestions! I'm spending a lot of the summer making frozen dinners that I can just pop into the crock pot in the morning, that way I don't have to worry about the kids going without a healthy dinner, and I won't have to spend time making dinner a lot of the time. Hopefully it works!!

I am new here, hey everyone! I just want to talk about all the stuff I've heard as a college student getting ready to go into the LPN program here in Utah. "You'll have NO life", "you'll want to have time to yourself, but you can't", basically I'm thinking I won't even have time to go to the bathroom (a little exaggerating there). I have been going to school for a year now, two semesters part time, two semesters full time, and start the program on August 20th. I've been able to travel across states a number of times, while taking the hardest of sciences. Went to California while taking physiology and still got a 3.7 GPA at 13 credits. Not saying school is easy because it isn't, I just don't know what I'm getting myself into. Anyone else heard something similar? I need to self discipline myself I think! Anyone else planning on absolutely no life? What are you planning on doing to spend time with your family? Well you have a routine?

I start a 9 month program on August 20th, snow college in Utah! Really excited and nervous. Got accepted my first try and its a really competitive program! I'm proud of myself, since I am young, 22. Planning on continuing to work part time as a cna and I've been getting a head start on some material!! Good luck everyone!!!

New here! I've kind of been reading around until I found out if I got accepted into a program. I got accepted my first time. Last year there were 150 applicants, this year there were 70. I attend snow college in Utah, 9 month program. Pretty nervous but ready. I'm 22 with two small children, she's 3 and he's 4. Work in a rehab facility one night a week and will continue that during school. I start August 20th!! Good luck everyone!!

What is a&p?
