Hi all my beautiful nurse and nurses to be I just started my Lpn program on monday it is a part time program tuesand thursday and every other weekend, monday was orientation.Orientation was long and boring but exciting at the same time we got alot and I mean alot of paper work, handbooks and our syllabus for quarter 1(we have four quarters)quarter 1 is A&P, nursing fundamentals(foundations of nursing text by christensen)and professional awareness(contemp nursing text)then our clinicals for quarter 1 that start august 3rd(excited) for now on the weekends we just have labs.Yesterday april 29th was the actual first day we got our uniforms, books, stethoscope,bandage scissors, penlight, lpn pdq manual, nurses pocket dictionary,lab coat just soooooo much stuff.Our teacher a BSN RN is really nice but she is new to teaching. So we tried to give her a break.We started with chapter 5(nursing diagnosis)she presented a power point presentation(hate those) and tried her best to break it down but to most of the class hardly anyone was geting the difference of a nusring diagnosis to an actual medical diagnosis(crazy isn't it) but after about 3 long hours of her power point she let us have our own reading time to cover the chapter as soon as I read the chapter I understood and broke down everything once we resumed class and then everybody goes OOOOOO now we get it:yeah:isn't that crazy but she is new , so we are giving her a chance to get used to us and get better so I will just read my chapters over and over to cover my material so just is case she doesn't.
.Overall all it was an ok day I just wishshe could of elaborated a little more on certain topics, but it was the first day lets see tomorrow.We also watched a beautiful johnson and johnson video on nursing it was so inspirational I think even if you don't want to be a nurse that video would change your mind:heartbeat.That was m first day in a nutshell just wanted to share with everyone I will come back and update, she said she gives tests every 2 chapters so we will see. Thanks for listening guys:bowingpur
