So how's everyone doing in their lpn program?

Published

well for me it's going pretty good. so far i have an A in f.o.n., A&P, finished my pvc class with a high B. my first three nutrition tests were super easy. i can't understand why some of my classmates are having a tuff time with any of this. i can relate to outside obligations but they knew the program would be intense. we all started out doing well then two dropped and a few may be administrativly dropped if the dont bring up their grades.

so tell me how is it going for the rest of you in lpn school?

I have been going for since last june, - 10 weeks off to have a baby. I have 10 week left. Cannot wait to be LPN. Keep going its hard but if I can do it anyone can, I have 4 kids at home and a husband thats like a kid. I think that Med-Surg is pretty easy. What gets me is the group projects, you always have one person out of the group that doesn't do anything and you are stuck either doing it or not. It stucks. anyway keep up the good work. I plan on going on but not sure for RN associate or BSN. Good luck!

Hey guys, we all started back in April/May/June. Its pretty much August now, I have 3 1/2 more weeks of Level I to gooooooooo!!!! I have finished 4 of the 7 classes so far, 3 B's and an A. I have my nutrition final this friday, but I have a 90 in the class so I really only need to get 15 right on the final. I am so ready for a vacation, and to start level II already! Just think, if you think this first level was fast, the next two are going to flllllly!

I have four more weeks till graduation! Just finished my second med surge rotation today. I have to tell you, there was a time in my second/third quarter where I seriously doubted that I wanted to be a nurse anymore. Thought about quitting - my grades were and are excellent, but the clinicals freaked me out (mostly d/t instructors, not so much the hands-on part). Glad I stuck it out though, because I really enjoyed this last med surge rotation. I can totally see myself working in the hospital on a med surge floor. Love the pace and I think I'd love it even more once an instructor is not breathing down your neck every step of the way. Even when they are nice, I found it unnerving at times to be watched all the time.

Good luck to everybody, I'm so excited to be a nurse soon!

I am in my last few days, started last August and graduate August 6th!! It has been rough but rewarding! With 3 kids at home it took a lot but I managed to maintain A's and B's. We started with 67 and I am proud to say that I am 1 of 30 who will be graduating!! :yeah:

I am only 4weeks into the program with A/P and Pharmacology. I have high B's and about to take midterms so hopefully I will have a's. The end of the first module is in 2 more weeks and I cannot wait to be out of pharmacology. Other than that, I am really enjoying the program.

I'm in my last two weeks of my first med surg and i must say its challenging. Our instructor wanted us to start thinking more as to want a nurse wold do in certain situations rather than just learning about anatomy of the body. I think its challenging but if nursing is what you really want, then this is going to be interesting and the bulk of what nurses really do in the real world. I had to dig deep for med surg .:banghead: I would say for our school we focused on nurse management and physiology. Good luck on your journey, this is one the best times of our lives yet. God bless.:nurse:

i finished myfirst semester and on to the next which is mental health and pharmacology. we only have 3 exams in MH and it is honestlyl kind of freaking me out. I''m not good with exams. There's a TON due, group projects due bythe second week, attend 4 support groups and papers...anyone with some encouraging words? it doesn't helpthat our class started with 20 and now we have 10. and this is only the second semester. Any advice to keep going and not freak out would be great

I started my LPN program in June and lets just say the cattyness has already started. I try at all odds to ignore it but it still gets frustrating. As far as the actual material goes I have a 96 average so far. The work to me is time consuming but doable. There are a few students in my class that are not passing so far and a lot more that are just tettering on the brink so I guess what one may find easy others not so much. It's great to hear all of you other SPN's speak out...AWESOME!!
