Thank u so much! I am 31, married and have five kids. Last year when I send my last child to school, I decided to go back to school. I thank God every day for this blessing to go to LVN school. I am so excited. At the same time I just want to get everything I will need for school out the way so I can focus on my break before Spring sem. start. Any tips on supplies or a list? I know I need my uniform, stethoscope, scissors, and penlight, it seems like I need more things. Thank u for the other tips about to study medical terms know.

Congrats! With God all things are possible! I start LVN school in Jan 20, 2015. I can't wait. Good luck with everything.

I will start LVN school on the 20th of January! I would like to know some tips on this subject?, what supplies to get?, and study tips?
