Roll Call: Starting Sp 2013 LPN

Published

So I start LPN school Feb 2013. I'm in an 18 month evening program set to complete Fall 2014. I'm nervous and overjoyed at the same time. This is a second career for me, but I feel like I did starting school the first time!! All of my paperwork is done, but I haven't bought my books yet. I will probably do that next month.

Anyone else starting in the Spring? How long is your program? How are you feeling? How are you prepping for this next big move of your life?

my lpn course is divided into 5 blocks with block 1 being the prereqs (cna, med term, a&p, cpr). i'm in block 1 now and i start block 2, which is the official program start, in march 2013. it's a 12 month program so i'll finish in march 2014. i'm loving it so far and i'm really excited about where it's taking me, but my god i am so tired. trying to do full-time school and work and spend time with my husband and our 2-year-old means i'm dying for more hours in the day...i'm only sleeping about three or four hours a night once i get home from work and finish homework. thankfully i have great instructors who give lots of detailed handouts and study guides.

Hello all!I am currently in the LPN program FT days, and it's a 12 month course. Which is broken up into semesters. I eat, sleep, live and breath studying!!!! It's seriously no joke how intense this program is. I will suggest that if you have no medical background and have your texts start looking at them. Our class started with 60 student in first quarter we are now down to 25. I'm in sec one quarter now (life span, pharmacology, funds 2) pharmacology is kicking my behind! I usually study between 3-5 hours a night and at least 8 on the weekends. Get mobile aps for your phone and study anywhere and everywhere you go. Especially NCLEX style questions. Set up a schedule for yourself and try to stick to it. I got re-acquainted with my local library and it was the best thing I did!!!! Sometimes I'll go to B&N if I'm tired (they have coffee) lolI wish each and everyone success in your nursing career!
