Helloooooo everyone! this is my second posting, I figured I should be more specific with my Title, maybe it'll attract others. I'm so excited for the program and I'm just looking for some insight, advice, what to expect etc. I'm also interested in talking with those who are already in the program, has applied for Spring 2012, or has already completed it. I'm very excited to start the program. I found out about the LVN program on the 21st and went in and got my application asap. I have all my documents in now and plan on turning in my app this Tuesday. I would really love to converse and learn as much as I can about what to expect and how to prepare. It took me a while, trying to figure out which program to go with. If I should go take the ADN at San Antonio College, or just go straight to my bsn at uthsc. But I've decided to do the lvn then go to my bsn once I'm done. I look forward to hearing from you all and goodluck to those applying for the spring! God bless:nurse:

Heres the breakdown as I know so far. Right now I am a lvl 2 and having a blast. First as everyone else told you, there will be an orientation. All calendars/schedules are tentative at best. Expect to spend each day from around 0800 to 1400-1600. Daily. Each semester is 16 weeks long. Your fitst semester will consist of Basic nursing skills for 8 weeks and then a clinical to follow. Aside from that you will have A&P, Growth and dev., nutrition, Med math, and pharm. Have fun with Pharm. If you wind up needing help ask Mr. Jackson immediately. If you happen to work, if you can stop. The 18 hours you will be taking will be nothing like any college courses you have ever taken before. Good Luck and like the person said before, get ALL and I mean ALLLLLLLLLL of your immunizations done pronto! They will hold you back. Also a clear criminal background will help lol. All and all, this has been the most exciting/enjoyable experience of my life. HEHE(Wait till lvl 2 psych rotation) lol. Hit me up if you need any more info. PS. Dont comment on Mrs. Pilar's english!(hahaha)
