Starting Nursing School: Answering some questions

I got a video request a little while ago, so I'm just trying to respond. Sorry this video is pretty choppy and I'm pretty sure I don't make sense lol.

I am going to do LPN first I believe and then do a bridge program. The main reason is that I am older (31) and need to get to work. :)

@silverose1209 I think that's a great idea.

Hi Julianne, I have a quick question.. I'm starting my 1st semester of nursing on Monday and I have no idea which books to take to my classes? I have purchased ALL of them, but not sure which ones to take to class? Any suggestions? Maybe leave them all in my car and just bring in a notebook for notes?

@kristenceleste Great question! I had a similar problem lol. At my school, the first week is more of an orientation and the instructors give you a heads up on what to bring to class on a regular basis. Defenentally keep a notebook with you. I actually took all my books and left them in the trunk of my car until I figured everything out. Good luck!

@juliannehola oOoOo i'm sure that will help a lot when it comes to communication factors with other healthcare members, the patients, and family members...I applied to an LPN program & find out sometime this semester if I got in..the program that I applied to only accept 10 ppl so keep ur fingers XcrossedX for me!!

@PelirrojaXO Thanks! I feel that I'll probably start in a hospital but then who knows lol.
