I am currently in my 3rd and last semester of the LVN program, I have to say that it is HARD! I guess it all depends on your school and the course outlines. We do regular classes and we also have outside assignments using ATI (it's like another class but you do assignments of every course and take quizzes and exams besides the one we take in class), which help prepare you for boards, ATI is ridiculously difficult for me. I recently spoke to some RN students (former LVNs) and they told me that it is easier for them than the LVN program. I think either the LVN or RN are hard, but you can do it. :)
