Hi! I really need some advice. I'm currently taking 14 hours at a community college and I'm in a self-paced LPN program. I started the program about a month ago I'm not doing to well. I'm not sure if its because of the fact that Ive never had to teach myself or if the textbook is just poorly written or lack of instruction.
On top of the program being self taught my grades are dropping (an 80% is a C in this program) in the program and my college courses and I feel like I'm being tested over random terms. The teachers don't even know the answers to my questions -One of the instructors asked my classmates for help because she didn't know the answer to the question I had.
I have to take med terms again even though I took it at a community college and got a B and I am also taking a&p and when I'm finished with that I have to take a comprehensive final just to get out of 120 hrs of a&p.
The program director and and one of the instructors told me I need make the program a bigger priority over my 14 college credit hours. I totally disagree with that because half of the classes I'm taking will benefit my nursing career later on. My ultimate career goal is to earn my BSN. If I decide to quite the program my grades at vo-tech wont matter because turning in a transcript from them is not required and wont count for any credit but my grades at Rose will follow me forever.
I've looked into other LPN programs near me but they only accept students in august. So my only options would be to continue in the program I'm in now without any real instruction and drag down my 14 credit hr grades or quit and maybe become a CNA and work until I get accepted into RN school or a LPN school that gives lectures?? What should I do?
