[msfitzlpnstudent]

Hello! I am So excited:lol2: I was just exepted into a lpn REOC program in Rochester,NY!But I am also very nervous:uhoh3:. My class starts June6th 2011,this a year program. I am planning on continuing my education until I reach NP. I wanted to know from all nurses if you can give me any advice on how to be a oustanding student and organanized student? Also tips on just staying focus as a whole? If you are a student please let me know how it is going and what are some do's and dont's and how I can apply this to nursing school! Thanks!

I am a LPN student in CA, I'd say

Do: *study either alone or as a group

*take it seriously

*ask questions, if you feel lost

* get the saunders book (study ahead, I heard they added more Pharm to the NCLEX)

Don't: * stress

* put off studying till the last minute

I'd say that so far in my program, I'm over 1/2 way completed, that I have learned a lot and am retaining quite a bit more because of the hands on experiences to go with the in class information.

and most of all DON'T stop there.. use LPN as a stepping stone to get to NP, I have the same goal!!

No matter how hard it gets, how frustrated you feel, NEVER give up. Make time to study, make time to play. Balance is important. Best Wishes.
