suggested reading for lpn student

[tnlpn8]

I start LPN school in 10 weeks. Should I read up on medical terminology or anatomy? Any titles you could help me with would be appreciated. I have never worked in health care and don't want to feel stupid in the class with CNA's and other students who have already been exposed to things in the field.

Lippencotts Straight A's series is a good set of books to have. Otherwise, don't sweat it. CNAs do well in clinicals, but may be equal to you in book knowledge.

Medical terminology is a good place to start. But don't stress out before you start.

I am about 2 months into my lpn program, and the biggest thing I've had trouble with is the tests, I don't know if every place does it, but my program writes their tests in an nclex format, so i bought a book on how to take the nclex test, and it has helped. some of the others have a "test taking strategies for nursing school" book. and they said it's great too. Just a suggestion to help learn how to test well.
