Just sayin hello---LVN student here

[ticklemethu]

Hi everyone..!

This is my first post here & I wanted to say hello before I went on any further.

I am almost 21 years old, I have had a career path from doing skin care/ makeup and now I am almost done with my 1st term of LVN schooling. I am hoping to graduate and pass my NCLEX. I also plan to go on with my RN later on.

I go to a private college so I will be finished in October of 2008! :houra:

It's been pretty intense so far but I have learned to enjoy school..even when I have bad days.

Just 2 weekends ago, I went home crying b/c during skills lab my teacher yelled at me in front of the whole class because I didn't know how to make a miter (I truly couldn't figure it out..plus she had a strong accent!)in the process of bed making. I "recycled" 5 times then did it correctly the last 2 tries but she still gave me a hard time.

Well, last weekend, we learned how to do foleys with the whole strerile technique and all...and out of a group of 25 people, only 4 got it done correctly on the first try and I was one of them! :houra: ( We practiced on dummies. He he )

I was so nervous that I was shaking the whole time. After I got it done, my teacher gave me a pleased smile.

I jokingly said to my classmates, " Hah, I can't make a bed but I sure can insert a foley!!!!!!!!" :lmao: :hurray:

Welcome to the site! :waving:

Ah, yes......the good ol' school blues; there will be days like that, but you'll look back with (hopefully!) fondness.

Welcome to the forum Ticklemethu and for nursing school you just have to "hang in there" and not give up. I went to nursing school a few.....well many, years ago and I still remember it well.......you will have good days and bad days but soon they will be behind you.......When I was in nursing school more students quit than failed......they put pressure on you to see if you can handle it.....believe you me you will have pressure when your a nurse......:luck:
