Hard Road To Become a Nurse

I am sorry that I have not updated in a while. I want to let you know that I have made it passed the first half of the course. WhoooHooo!!! The Christmas party was an emotional thing for a lot of us because we made it pass the critical phase. I am terribly sorry for those who did not make it. God has a purpose. I promise you. You guys are in my prayers including those who for one reason or another had to drop out. The courses are very intense. The term "accelerated program" is exactly what it means. An exam or two each week on what was learned a couple days ago and the new topics keep pouring in if you fail more than one topic you have to retest on all the topics at the end of the unit, yes, even the one's you already passed, with no multiple choice on it and no chance to breathe...Well, not literally not breathing, but you know what i mean. Well, next week is the beginning of the second clinical rotation in a hospital. I am pretty excited about that, I get to administer ...

I have not updated my blog for a while due to my new life demands as a PN student. As my first unit is coming to end, I am happy to announce that I just learned from my instructor of the location for my clinicals next week. I will be doing my first clinical assignment in a well known nursing home. Today, was my official last day for lab and I will begin to work with real patients next week. Whoo hoo, I am so darn excited about it all. Just to note, I have been doing really well in my classes and intensive exams. Thanks to God. I will be letting you guys know how it is going in my clinical assignment. Clinicals, here I come!!

Hey everyone, I have not signed in for a while due to all the work that this PN course requires. But, just to keep you updated. I have been studying hard. So far, I have a 90 average on all the quizes and still have more quizes coming up. It is intense but "bring it on". I am ready. LOL! wish me luck. I will keep you posted.

Oh my God. I just got the summer homework assignment. It seems like a lot when you look at it. But it is also do-able. There is human anatomy and physiology, biology, medical terminology and chemistry. I am very eager to complete this assignment. The first exam will be in two weeks. Well, I have to get to work if I want to pass. I will talk to you guys soon.Wish me luck.

OMG....I just received my acceptance letter this past weekend. I am sooo excited. I am going through the process now to make arrangements for paying my tuition. The total including the board exams after completion comes out to about $10,000.00. which is not that bad compared to some of the other private schools that i also had applied to. Two of them in NJ. One was $22,000.00 and the other $18,000.00. I am a little nervous, as I don't really know what to expect in class. I just know that it is a very accelerated LPN program and I will not have time for anything else that is not studying. Some of you guys have called me in regards to issues posting comments I will see if I can fix it so that you can post. Even if you don't or can't post comments thank you for being here. I know that some of you did not make it to my program I am very sorry, but know that where there is a will, there is a way and I promise if you let him God will lead you in the right direction. Some of you ...

It has been about two weeks since my interview. It was among the hardest interviews that I have ever attended. The questions were not that difficult. They required some basic knowledge of what LPN's do etc... I am a little anxious due to the fact that they mentioned that they have to review my application and test scores with the committee before I will be invited to another interview. WOW. I had no idea that I needed to undergo more than one interview in order to be accepted into the school. I don't know what else to think, my test scores where high I think I answered all the interview questions correctly. Unless they did not like my response to their question of why I wanted to become an LPN, I think the process went well. I answered that question clearly and honestly. The hardest question for me was why did I not pursue nursing from the beginning. I answered very honestly. I hope they appreciated my honesty.
