Hello dear allnurses readers!!

I hope this finds you well.

In April I found out I was accepted to a local LPN School that only accepts 25 students per year. Boy was I excited. The NET was over, my recommendation letters were in, my application completed, and I was in!! I went to a meeting at the school in late May and received my self study Anatomy and Physiology and Medical Terminology books, so I could review them this summer. I have completed all my Med Term study guides and have 6-7 A/P study guides to go. I have TONS of chapter tests to do but that is administered at the school over the course of the first 14 weeks. Of course, I have to get at least a 75 or above in both subjects or I get kicked from the program, but all of this will happen in due time. Formal classes begin Monday. I went on Tuesday and met the teachers, picked up the rest of my books, signed over my life to Financial Aid, and received a tentative schedule. I was told I would get alot more info on Monday!! I can't wait!! I am getting very excited. My 2 year old started daycare on Tuesday of this week...kind of easing him into it. So far, so good. I have been checking things off my list of things that need to be done before school starts. I hear it can be a bit overwhelming at first. I hope I fly through and learn tons of great information. If all goes well, in 11 months, I will be a nurse!! Woo hoo!!

I start LPN school Aug 20, finished two classes already. It is run like true boot camp, unbelievable. If you going to be absent, you must call or you are in trouble. We need 85% on tests and 100% on clincals. They do not mess around, plus, tons and tons of rules or you are out!! Very strick indeed. I picked up my books for the first half of the year, I have 12!! Some are reference books...scary indeed. I am really excited like the rest of you. Learning meds scares me a bit, and IV therapy. I hear my school has the best reputation in the community and by time school if over 90% have jobs or offers. That is great...good luck everyone!! We can do it!!
