7 weeks in down...

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

It's already been 7 weeks since i've started school and i love it!! This week we got our stethoscope and other needed things, we are getting our handheld computers tomorrow and our uniforms should be here any day. All the while i'm thinking this is really real, i'm here and i'm going to be a LPN! :yeah:

We also found out that all 7 alternates get to stay, so we are going to be the biggest class so far. We start clinicals in about 4 weeks and i'm getting a bit nervous about that.

I am a little stressed lately, i'm wondering if i'm just retaining what i know long enough to pass the tests, then since we cover a new subject pretty much everyday, i'm not really remembering the info. so when i need it in clinicals or for a real job, i'm not gonna know what's going on. Does anyone else feel this way?

Hi! I am also 7 weeks down! I am so excited! I have studied more in the last 7 weeks than my whole high school career. :specs: I am taking everything one day, one week, one class at a time. I know how you feel about learning a new subject every day. I also fear that I can learn the information and test well...but will I retain it?? :confused: I hope so! I have already pulled stuff out of my brain from the Intro to Nursing and applied it to my Psychology class...so I guess there is at least one part of my brain that is keeping it in there :yeah:

Good luck to you!! How long is your program?

I know what you mean about studying more in the last 7 weeks than the 4 years of high school. They weren't kidding about having no life other than school.

My program is an 11 month program, we started in July and graduate(hopefully) in June!! We start clinicals in a little over 3 weeks, so that will really put some of the stuff we've been learning in perspective.

Good Luck to you in your program and hopefully we can talk about our upcoming graduations soon!

Hope things are getting a little less stressful for you. :eek: I am now in A&P I. I have heard horror stories about this class. But I will just take one day at a time. Where do you go to school?
